I have just a few minutes before going to pick Allison up at school today and figured I'd write a little bit about school. I could write about the fact that in order to get a parking spot that allows you to actually SEE the school, you need to arrive at least 10-15 minutes before school gets out and sit in your car with a novel. Arrive just 5 minutes early and you're probably going to be around the block.
We put Allison's name in for the lottery for Appleton's public Montessori school. We know they get more applicants than spots, so we'll have to see. We don't even know if it would be a good environment for her, but we really don't see a traditional 1st grade classroom working well without a lot of extra support. On that note, we'll find out more about support services next month when we meet with her new "team" which really could field an actual team of some sort. It seems that because she doesn't really fall into a specific category, they went with the "well, let's bring everyone together and see what shakes out" approach. This even includes PE. Really? Allison seems to enjoy and do well with PE. Art on the other hand...... But no art teacher at the IEP meeting.
Oh, the snow has fallen again and the shovels are out. Jacob is having a play date tomorrow with a friend from school. Allison wants to invite her friend Jenna over but Jenna is in 1st grade and I don't have a contact sheet for 1st grade. Parental detectiving - part 1.
Time to go grab a novel and sit in the car. Woo hoo! Friday!
