niknotes -- Medical release forms were sent home for
physician approval for participation in Special Olympics and also participation
in occupational therapy (OT) in the classroom. At the IEP, we'll talk
about the OT recommendation, but I would imagine it's to work with him on his
pencil grasp, perhaps among other things. We'll see.
I left Mick's daily report notebook, which is very cute if
I haven't mentioned that, out of his backpack this morning so I took it up to
school and gave it back this morning. I stayed in the hall so Mick
wouldn't see me and need to "go get in the green car," but Mrs. McCracken came
out and spoke with me about how Mick is doing. She said they can tell when
he's been crying on the bus, sometimes from the tears in his lashes, but that he
is always happy by the time he arrives at school. Miss Faye told Mrs.
McCracken this morning that Mick was upset again so she just told him he'd have
to get used to it because he had twelve more years of school and riding the bus,
and Miss Faye reported that that did the trick; he calmed down. Mrs.
McCracken told me that Mick has only been upset once during school, one day when
they were in the Motor Room because recess got rained out. She said he was
driving the Flintstone car around the room but keep tipping it over, on
purpose. She told him to stop, but he did it again, and she very calmly
made him get out of the car to choose another activity. He got very upset
and slammed the little plastic door underneath a slide, I think she said, behind
him, going in there to sulk. But he kept peeking out, and within a minute,
he came out and said, "I'm sorry, Cracken. You want to go
play?"
