niknotes: I stopped by Magill today to pick up my Room Parent's Folder. I get to plan and arrange the holiday party in December and Teacher Appreciation Day in May, as well as more minor activities throughout the year. Jack was not in the room when I stopped by his classroom because he and Aaron had gone to Specials unassisted. Mrs. Smith was in the classroom with Emily, Jake, and Robert. She explained that Jack will go to all Specials except P.E. unassisted, but P.E. can be overwhelming for him, with the rotation between all the stations and the air of chaos that ensues as the many groups move from one activity to the next. She says it's overwhelming to her trying to keep an eye of Jack and Aaron, then reassuringly added that she manages. Ha ha. She's so great. She was excited to learn that I'll be the Room Parent. Zach's mom was the one last year but since Zach has moved next door to Mrs. Pellett's third-through-fifth-grade class, so has Melita, Zach's mom. I think it'll be a lot of fun. I just hope I don't go overboard, really. Tuesday! -- Cupcake Day! "Mrs. Dullaghan, please leave."

Jack loved the hygiene unit, as I believe I've mentioned, but a specific example of its incorporation into Jacky-Jack-Land is that Saturday night when I was brushing and flossing his teeth and reiterating the importance of keeping his teeth clean, he said, "I know all about good hygiene."

Oh, and I did wait for Jack to get back to class so I could say "hi" to him before I went back home. He seemed pleased to see me but didn't try to follow me out the door, I guess since his picture schedule had Language Arts next rather than "Go Home With Mom." Also, Mrs. Penoncello is going to make a morning picture schedule for him to keep at home -- with the same pictures they use at school, not that there was anything wrong with my pictures, but these will be Velcro-attached to a card just like at school. Maybe it will help him with getting on the bus; although, for some bizarre reason, he did well with that this morning. He likes Mondays? I would've guessed that the first day after the weekend break would be tough, but last Monday was the good day, too. Also, he saw a pink cloud in the morning sky "that shapes like an upside-down tornado." I saw it, too, clearly. I don't suppose I could fake that for him tomorrow morning.
