so I just got my pen and ink and I must say, this is AWESOME!

 

Pens are cool, especially when they have ink.

 

I'm awake a bit early, it seems.
Thank goodness I went to bed early as well, or I would be rather miffed.


So... where's the coffee?

 

What did you get?

 

Hooray! Inked it up and everything already?

 

All this pen talk made me break out my fp and ink. I have the special ink for fpn and inked it up. Currently have the starry night ink in there.

 

Ooh. I was just looking at that ink today. How's the color?

 

I'm honestly a bit confused, these pens are so pretty and complex and yet the ballpoints of today are so boring and simple... I don't see how this was designed first, or why it was even replaced with the ballpoint.

 

i got my cuppa. here at work.

It writes quite well. I broke down and bought all 3 of them, first impressions are it's nice it's a light blue that dries rather fast.

 

the day is over. the kids are in bed. I think I'm beginning to relax now. thanks for all the prayers/ well wishes/ good thoughts/ etc... they were put to good use.

I'm enjoying that Brut Revolution. Wish it had menthol but it's still pretty good, even without.

 

is it just me, or does Arkansas' quarterback throw like a girl?

 

that is a truly unfortunate picture. I was trying to come up with a snappy statement but it trumps anything I can think of. that boy should go hide in the corner and feel sorry for himself.

 

you looking for someone who's accredited (teaching license) or will a person with young kid/ youth teaching experience do? I qualify for the second category.

 

As far as I'm concerned using the term disturbing when refering to a 5 year old isn't how things should be handled by anybody, unless the child is killing small animals and destroying their toys. Either way, I haven't taken child psych yet so I'm not going to pretend I know what I'm talking about but maybe you should speak to this teacher? it's possible that her behavior is very out of the ordinary for a 5 year old which is why the teacher is concerned. I'm sure if all the kids in this class behaved the way your daughter is there would be no reason for a letter to get sent home. Another thing to keep in mind is teachers spend a lot of time with a lot of kids year after year so I'm sure they have a good handle on what is to be expected and what isn't common behavior.

 

As a parent that has had multiple problems with my daughter's teachers and as a teacher myself, I always have a torn allegiance on these problems.

The typical classroom teacher is equipped to handle the normal student. Students with any special needs throw things off kilter. Yes, we have been mainstreaming students for years; however, many teachers have had exposure to a handful of students with special needs and haven't learned how to read them and their unique issues. From my experience it has been dealing with autism. Every child with autism has their own unique triggers and the stereotypical autism behaviors are just that... stereotypical and can't be applied to everyone on the spectrum. Unfortunately, some teachers don't get it and try to apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Even when my child was in a special needs classroom, we continued to have problems because the staff was treating her like she had textbook emotional disability and not a child with Asbergers part of autism.

If possible, I would try to schedule an unobtrusive conference with the teacher to talk about Jenna. I am assuming she has a GEI or OHI plan (or whatever the acronyms are in your state). If nothing else the meeting could be about to discuss those issues and then get a feel for the teacher and decide how to approach the other issues from there.
