Also, not sure about Jack and the "mean" kids (re: yesterday).  He goes to lunch, specials, etc. w/ Davin & they get along great!  Nothing unusual happened w/ the mainstream classes either. [smiley]
 
niknotes:  I have been writing so many checks to J C Magill Elementary and Partee Elementary that I did well to get the school straight.  There wasn't much chance I'd remember that cooking/snack money in Jack's class is the exception, despite having known that last year.  But Mrs. Smith surely didn't need to apologize to me for my mistake. 
I'm glad Jack was such a good friend and good speller today.  He got his first homework assignment Monday.  The dreaded Homework Folder came home with him, but there was only one tiny assignment due by Friday (to write each of ten spelling words three times each).  Jack wrote each one once, and this very minute, even though he already aced the spelling test, he is writing them two more times each.  Not without complaint.  But I said that if he kept complaining or delaying, I would start handing him more and more worksheets to complete before he could leave the table.  One measly spelling assignment!  He decided to do it, almost cheerfully, and now it's done.  Spelling words of the week:  we, there, can, an, your, which, their, said, if, do.  I told him I was proud of him for being a good friend to Davin in P.E. and also for doing well on his spelling test.  I asked him about trying to get someone to "untag" Davin during P.E., but one of us apparently was confused.
 
jacknotes: In P.E. today, I came up with a plan.  I came up close to a person with a tagging ball and I tried to, and I was scanning the whole gym class for a rock, and if I found a rock, I'd kick it up close to the tagger's foot, and I'll make sure he doesn't see the rock.  Well not really a rock, but a Frisbee.  Then if Davin has a Frisbee, I'll ask him if I can have the Frisbee.  I'll wait for the answer "yes," and after the "yes," he'll hand over the Frisbee, and I'll Frisbee attack the tagger by throwing the Frisbee, aiming for the tagger to try to knock him backwards to keep him from tagging, to try to lure him into being hit, knocked backwards, I meant, do you know, I meant I hit the tagger so hard, not that he or she gets hurt, I'm talking about the "rudey" tagger (I just meant that to be funny), the "rudey" tagger so hard, not so that the target gets hurt, but to knock it backwards to keep it from tagging me.  That's defense from taggers.
