Oops. I screwed up today I guess. H emailed last night at 10:30 or so that he wanted to change his Wed. night with the kids to tonight. I just read my email 30 minutes ago and got that, and a 2nd message where he emailed I guess I'm not showing. I emailed him I just got that (usually I check a few times a day, but D9 and I have colds and were doing therapy and groceries and stuff like that today. It sounds like he is going to just see the kids for an hour or something tomorrow (some kind of plans with OW I guess he can't break). Crazy since he hasn't seen them in a whole week!!! I also suggested if he wanted to have them Thurs. night overnight to make up for Wed. I'm fine with that as I don't want them to miss out on time together.
I talked to D9's school today. We're going for a morning meeting tomorrow at the school so I can talk with the special ed teacher/guidance counselor and D9 can tour the grounds. She's totally psyched.
The school said today that even though we have the testing and recommendations for her to have special ed accomodations, they don't look at testing anymore, but instead look at classroom observation. I told her that with her being recommended to have special ed accomodations for 1-2 hours, I couldn't agree to a full day of no special ed accomodations. I suggested I could homeschool her reading, math, and writing (the areas she'll be in special ed for at some point), and she could mainstream the rest of the day (4 of the 6 hours). That would be all the special areas and science and lunch and recess, stuff she'll prob. do fine in.
I talked to D9's speech therapist today and she thought it would be good also for her to go part-time and that she said she didn't think it would take them long to realize that she does need the accomodations. I found myself wondering what would they do with a deaf/blind child--make them wander around without accomodations for a few months before helping them??? Karen
