And let's continue
Blogger kept telling me my entry was too long!!! Soo now that I am finally able to continue I will...
Now's let us move to the homework folder - First let me state that I DON"T have the best work/study habits but I DO try and in all honesty - the boy is FIVE and in KINDI - if he's not having a good day and forcing homework is gonna be an issue I am gonna pass... He DOES know that next year will be a new story - he'll be a big 1st grader next yr (not to mention more adjusted/settled and regulated on his meds).... Plus he's FIVE!!! Ok now that being said... Dev gets a list of 8-10 words each week (van, can, ran, tan, and, "etc") that they "request" he write one time each atleast 3 times a week and have us read/go over for a spelling test they have each Friday... Ok so maybe this week we only went over the words 3 times not 4 but we DID go over them, sorry if we didn't write them but he DOES have fince motor skills issues (*sigh* somehow I feel like I am making excuses here - truth is that in my honest opinion, he is in KINDI and FIVE - I am not gonna push him.... Dev brings home his spelling test... out of the 8 or 10 words he spelled 2 wrong... RAN was RIN and AND was ND - pretty damn good if you ask me!!! Well apparently NOT cause the hand written comment at bottom of the page?? "Deven needs reinforcement at home as well as school for academic success" WTF is that??? I felt he did pretty damn good – pardon me but we DO reinforce the work at home… maybe I am doing it wrong as I don’t know how they do it at school but I am doing my best… and seeing how it AMAZES me he can do half of what they send home I was/am THRILLED he got all but 2 right!!!
THEN there is a permission slip for a field trip and once again hand written at the bottom is a note that unless either E or I accompany Dev he won’t be able to go on the trip…. This really irks me too…. Ok my kid isn’t perfect.. he has some troubles but he’s not THAT bad… If they bothered to call the preschool they would learn he was best when they went on outings….
NEEDLESS to say that E and I are NOT very happy campers when it comes to the subject of school and we WILL be there bright and early with bells on to talk to the teacher and find out what is going on….
