Day 9, Note sent home:


Kiddo had a great morning. But then towards afternoon he was still playing with his water bottle a lot. Asked him to put his Math work away in his folder and he said "I don't want to". Ms BMC Teacher talked to him and told him "I don't want to hear 'I don't want to' anymore. Please don't say it."


I asked Kiddo to leave his water bottle in his backpack from now on, and go get water when he needs it. I hope he listens.


Other than that, no other big deals.

We worked with him on his Makeup math work again last night for almost 3 hours. Trying to help him understand Place value in numbers. And then Expanded Form, Standard Form, and Word Form. He just can not get it. I even tried a couple of Youtube videos made by teachers hoping it would help. Maybe someone else could teach it better than I could.

One thing both I and his Dad noticed last night, his ADHD is out of control. I had to get up and walk away (take a break) when he was hanging his empty chip bowl off his nose (snack). Dad took over and said he noticed the same things. His ADHD is just off the chart at night. It is so frustrating, and also hard to remember that its not his fault. He doesn't yet have control over it. one day he will (as told to me by an ADHD adult friend. But right now its just off the chart. He did do his reading though. I was proud of him for that. He isnt quite confident in reading yet, but he has a handle on it better than math. And he did well on his practice spelling test too. The real spelling test is today. I hope he does well. I noticed he is having issues with the short I and E sounds. Mixing them up. I don't think he hears them correctly. But all audiologists said his hearing is clear.
