Brag time!!!!

I got this email this morning from Ms. Special Ed Teacher!!!!


I just had to stop and e-mail you! I tested Kiddo this morning to see if he was able to move up a level in reading and he did. He has now read at level M, which is at the beginning of 3rd grade level. He was able to read a fiction book at this level and a non-fiction book at this level and passed both assessments! I am so happy for him!

So proud of my kiddo. That 1 level was hard fought for!!! he went from L to M. And he worked for it. He dislikes reading. its difficult for him to read and comprehend at the same time. Today is a very good day!! :) LOVE!

New Year, First Day Back....*facepalm*

When I dropped kiddo off at school this morning, I asked him who was going to have a great day at school? He said "ME!!!" And he told me he really did want to have a good day. And I told him even if he has to do Division? And he said, even if! (his newest thing is he HATES division).

Fast forward to the end of the day... I get a text from Ms. BMC services teacher. (As part of our IEP now, Kiddo is no longer allowed to carry the 'bad kid today' notes back and forth from home to school. he can talk about what happened at school with the teachers), but if its bad enough she just texts me: (note below)

When taking notes with kiddo he argued with the teacher when given the notes to copy into notebook, but did get the notes into book. During math kiddowould not write down problems or pull out his multiplication chart to help him. he layed his head down on the desk. Called Ms BMC services teacher kiddo refused to go to BMC to work or take a break. He sat at his desk with his head down, writing all over his desk and playing with scissors. He wanted the other kids to play with him. When redirected, would say that the teachers the he rolled his eyes at them. Even after giving him his space and time, reminders of rules etc. he still refused to work. We tried to sit with him and break things down but would not allow us to help him.. Kiddo did not work at science time.

Separate in text:
Kiddo just didnt want to work today. We all tried but we were just too "mean" to him. I know tomorrow will be better. The break was probably too long for him, or not long enough! lol

I just dont even know what to do or say. I asked him to just try. I always tell him to please just try. I ask him all the time, just do your best! Even if its not right, it doesnt matter, that part we can work on. Always give it your best try... *tears* I am a very sad Mommy right now. I know its the first day back. But I just dont understand where things go wrong in the day.
