IEP Meeting and Attendance letter

February 27, 2012 IEP Meeting

We had a great IEP meeting at School. I am so proud of my son Gerald Jay that he improves a lot most especially his behavior. We had a lot of positive feedback from the therapist and teacher. Also, we dis continued his physical therapy at school since he already met his goals.
The team that work with Gerald Jay at school are awesome! and we all in the same goal for him.

I received a letter from school about Gerald Jay's attendance being late and not going to school. This one is just made me irritated. I already told them that GJ is having therapy every Monday morning and he gets to school approximate 8:10 to 8:20 am. Then, they keep sending back home if he throws up after feeding and charge him for being sick. Also, when is sick I didn't sent him since that is so contiguous, I know why it contiguous because he got it from his two sisters. I took him to the doctor and have a letter for that. Just so irritating! I asked them about the excuse letter from the doctors if I should file one and they said "no" it won't be necessary! And now I am receiving this stuff....Just so irritating

Student of the Month!

Gerald was selected as the Student of the Month in his class. The school conduct a student of the month Luncheon with the principal. Well, I feel awful that I missed it. I was too wrapped-up with my own school stuff, and I forgot my son's important event at school. If he understand and can talk he would probably asking me why? I am so sorry, baby. I will do better next time!

Special thanks to his teacher and teachers aids for being there to attend with him and to Dr. Saunders...Thank You All Very Much!!!

School Award

Gerald received another academic award from school. I don't think he really understand that we appreciate his effort, but I am happy to know that he is improving a lot. He might not be talking, but he is definitely learning something. His attention span increase a little bit. At his school they have a program called 100 book challenge that means they have to 100 read books for  entire school year. When we started reading to him, he would not stay for five minutes sitting and reading the book. He just want to run around the house and do other stuff. But now I am glad to see him sitting quietly and reading with us.

 Anyway, today I went to Gerald's school to show support for my son's education. Mr. G was holding him still because if no one was holding him you will see him run around the stage. He is very active and the more you told him not to run the fastest he go. Anyway, Mr. G is his favorite teacher's aid at school. They take good care of him at school, so I am very thankful for them.

After the ceremony, I ask GJ's teacher if I could take the picture of all of them but I guess special ED kindergarten are hard to redirect and it was hard to  take a nice class picture; therefore, I only took Ms. Stone and Gj's photo. As you can see one of his classmate kiss GJ on head. I think it was cute!
Ms. Stone is a wonderful teacher and I thank her for her teaching.

Lastly, I stopped by at the clinic since GJ was due for his feeding. I waited for him and he was so happy to see me again. Posing with Angelina and Nurse Melody. Nurse Melody was very good at him and so nice that he really care about her kids at school. Gerald pre-school nurse was no were close to Ms. Melody's service. I thank her for taking care of him.

Overall I am very proud of my son efforts in everything!

Way to go baby and congratulations!

School: Kindergarten

After visiting the pediatrician, I went to GJ's new school to drop off the feeding plan that the school psychologist and I requested for Dr. G. I was glad that I went to his school because I didn't know that I have to filled up a enrollment pocket and signs a bunch of stuff. The school didn't send us any letter or anything. I didn't even received any letter for the teacher's meeting night. Also, I thought that all school have the same school uniforms. Yup! I bought my son's uniforms already and found out that he can't use them at this current school...what a bummer! I had to prepare everything before I go for my surgery this coming Saturday which the 6th of August. I wished I have known that school have different school uniform preference duhhh!

Another, I finally settled the feeding issues that we have concerns about. Since this time GJ will be full time in Kindergarten, I would like to have the full feeding at school. Last school year, they didn't feed him the amount of milk that he needed to take and every time he comes back from school he was just thirsty and hungry. But this time I have the prescription for it that they have to feed GJ every hour and half. I also let the nurse know what I really want them to do with his feedings. I signed some feeding schedule at the nurse office, and I just need to bring more of GJ feeding supplies today.
