I started last week at the new account, and it was the breath of fresh air that I needed. First off, I am replacing someone. Very weird/crazy circumstance that I can't go into here. Let me just say that everyone is glad I am there now, and the students were very thankful that I am shall I say normal!
The kids started school last week. I brought them to there classrooms, and I think the teachers must think I am nuts! First to K's class. I met his teacher and in all of the chaos tried to explain to her that he is newly diagnosised with ADHD. That maybe she should sit him next to her, and that his doctor also suggeseted giving him tasks to do throughout the day that required him to get up. I know I sound strange, but I just want the school year to start off on the right foot.
She kind of nodded and then turned away. I hope to talk to her again soon.
Then to A's class. Now normally he checks in with the Special Ed teachers and they bring him to class. However he wanted me to bring him this time. So we get to his class and again amid the bustleing halls I try to explain to his teacher that he has Asperger's and this morning he decieded not to bring his blanket to school for the first time ever. And how he uses his blanket to calm himself when he has panic attacks...and where can I find his SPED teacher so I can repeat all of what I just said to her...
Again I get a nod before she turns away. I get it...it's the first day of school. I look like that crazy mom not willing to let her babies out of her sight...
I assure you, I am really not that mom.
I guess all of this is also compounded by the fact that in a week I am going to tell the teachers that I am taking my kids out of school for a week to go to Disney World. I just know I am going to be their favorite!
