Subject: RE: Ghoulie Azzatar challenge- do it or else!!Good morning Ghoulies! Busy day yesterday. I spent 2 hours volunteering at my daughter's school. While I was there I ended up doing some unexpected computer work in the lab. I typed up papers for the 2nd graders that will be published into little books after they do their final proofreading. After typing I went out into the hallway and one by one had the students read a story to me, then answer some questions. I got to work with every kid in the class except my daughter, she was down the hallway in her small reading group. I got to bring a copy of the story home to read it with her. When I was done volunteering, the kids were getting ready to go out to recess. 3 little girls asked me if I was going out to play with them. I asked my daughter if she wanted me to go to recess with her, and she did. I was a rope swinger for jump rope. After recess the kids went to music, I went back to talk to my daughter's teacher. We talked for about 45 minutes expressing concerns over my daughters reading and lack of reading comprehension. We are going to set her up with an I.S.T., I forget what it stands for, but basically, my and my husband, her teacher, the principal, and the instructional support teacher will get together and come up with a set of goals for my daughter, and a plan to meet the goals, then moniter her progress along the way. She will also be tested over the summer for learning disabilities. Then last night we were up most of the night with a sick girl. I was going to keep her home today, but school is cancelled because we got 6" of snow last night. There will be naps today. I also managed to get lots of yoga in today. I plan to do more today. I've still got a few days to reach my goal! |
