Even at home lots happens out of my presence to Noah (5-DS) that he can't tell me about. It does make all those "minor" moments of real communication all the more precious. Your description of not knowing whether your kiddo is really meaning to say yes or is just being agreeable sounds SOOOO familiar. So eager to please. I have heard of parents sending forms to school with their kids that the teacher can at least check off a few boxes every day as to what activities occurred, who your child played with,etc. Maybe you could go and observe for a day and try to come up with a form. Maybe I should make one for Noah so he can "converse" with his dad at the end of the day.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />AlysonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13970003.post-41979129369507450152012-09-25T23:13:39.704-05:002012-09-25T23:13:39.704-05:00 AS a future special ed teacher I wll most ...

I ask Asa how is ...Oh leah how this speaks volumes. I ask Asa how is day was every night. I ask him if he played with Seth on the playground or whether he sat next to Nina in circle. At least I get a "Yup" but I know he's just agreeing with me and not really responding to the questions I'm asking him. I wish there was more communication as well. Just a little note in his back pack telling me how his day was. Did he play with anyone? Did he have difficult with certain tasks? That's all I need... Just a little tid bit of his day to share....Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411631764977673928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13970003.post-5628945825122485342012-09-25T05:42:04.238-05:002012-09-25T05:42:04.238-05:00amen.

I KNOW the teachers have a lot to do, and it DOES seem like a lot to ask for, but how else can we know what's happening with our kids at school? This frustrates me, too.

I had: pe, music, art today. Circle one. Etc? Might take some creativity or research but might be worth it? I will ask my daughter , teacher in special Ed, if there is name for such a thing.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452607521750848540noreply@blogger.com
