Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Val, Tell Congradulations on the first week and this week should be better. I remember 's 5th grade year lololol. She also would forget things. To handle that I told her to stuff all notes and papers from each class into her back pack. Even writing down a page number on a piece of paper helped her. Since we had the 2nd set of books at home. I kept up with which chapter she was in. Then had her tell me about what she learned today and show me what part of the book she was doing in the book. Little things to remember is good. RobbinGet a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hi Val: It sounds like your 5th grade is similar to our. Hannah too has a homeroom teacher (who also happens to be her math teacher) her specials teachers and then 2 other teachers for the other "core" subjects. Does have time during the day for homework? Hannah has approximately 30 minutes at the end of the day where the kids can do homework and go to the other 2 classrooms to ask questions. What I told her to do (she also forgot an assignment last week) is to pull all her homework out at the start of "flex time". She puts in in a pile either on her desk or on the floor. Starts at the top and works her way down. Anything left after flex is brought home. This is very new for Hannah this year and we are hoping this might help. Hannah was actually able to get a copy from a friend so she did not get a late. She has never had a late assignment, ever. She was beside herself. Maybe could try something like this too? Let's hope the rest of the year is smooth! Beth (Hannah, 10, unspecified arthritis; asthma ;gerd; migraines) Sending prayers & happy thoughts, Beth :-) 's first week as a 5th grader Reading about the posts about school starting - the triumphs and struggle made me want to post about starting school last week. First I want to say WTG Hannah!! had a similar encounter a couple of years ago during recess playing basketball regarding his size - and his return was "I take medicine that has made it hard for me to grow - but without the medicine I can barely walk, so do you want to play basketball now, or talk about my size." I was so proud of him. I can't believe my Robbie is now a 5th Grader! School started for him on Aug 27th. All the 5th Graders met in the Media Center (aka Library) and met their teacher there. I went with and introduced myself and hung around to carry 's backpack for him - (school supply list always requires far too many items for him to carry the first day) - this gives me the opportunity to get a feel for the teacher and see his space. I chatted with his teacher about 's JRA (which she'd already been briefed on by the school nurse) and I have a very good feeling about her. I followed the students to their room - the students were instructed to find their desk (their names already on them) - but I knew immediately which desk was 's. In the front of the classroom was a desk identical to, but much smaller/lower than the other desks. I sat 's backpack beside it (he was carrying the store bag with the extra items required on the list (box of tissues, package of baby wipes and antibacterial soap) told to have a great day, and made my exit so as not to disrupt any further. I have to say I had mixed feelings about the desk. The staff at the school are so in tune with and his needs and it made perfect sense for him to have a desk that suited his size, but I kept wondering how he would react - and how some of the other students may react. It can be hard to be the one that is different. In the past he has had a foot stool that has followed him each year to allow him to rest his feet on to avoid the pressure that his feet dangling would put on his hips and back. The only comment Rob made that evening was that he guessed he was sitting up front so that he would be able to see, with his chair being so low. I then spoke very positively about the fact that they thought to have a chair small enough so that he didn't need a stool to keep his feet from dangling. He looked at me and told me that his feet still don't reach the floor - so I will have to call the school nurse to arrange for the OT to evaluate 's desk/chair. The second day of school I sent letters to his home room teacher, and who I thought was going to be his Math teacher, along with a copies of "When Your Student Has Arthritis". The letter explains a little about 's medical history, current condition & possible concerns, what may happen if he flares, and invites them to contact me with any questions, etc. That day brought home a note from his homeroom teacher telling me that she had his extra set of books and asked me how to best get them to the house for him. That same day he had Social Studies homework that the teacher had said "they may need their book" to complete & knew his extra book was among those waiting for me to pick up and didn't bring the book home, because "I'm not supposed to carry books home in my backpack" I told him that he could have brought the one book home this time - that the point was to not be carrying several books everyday - but I have to admit that the one book is quite heavy. I arranged to pick up the books at his school the next day at lunchtime & that evening we were off to the library to complete his homework, since I don't have Internet at my new house yet.The next day I had a great email from the Math teacher - who said that she can see that is bright and eager to participate & has a good sense of humor & that she appreciated the information I provided & to let her know of any additional concerns, etc. She said that she hoped that remained in her class - but that the students would be separated into different Math groups like they were last year, & they haven't all been evaluated yet. That night (3rd day of school) managed to come home without his Math homework paper or his assignment book!! "The Math paper was in my take-home folder and I don't know what happened to it" - and no explanation regarding the assignment book. He was able to complete his other homework assignments without the benefit of his assignment book, but was very distressed that he would lose recess the next day to complete the Math homework. I wasn't too sympathetic, then in his little meltdown he said "and if I forget two more times, I am going to have to see the principal" I had to snicker a little - which went over quite well - then I asked him if he would really have to see the principal if he forgets three times and he said "I don't know, I don't remember what happens, but it's really bad" I told him that he'd best not forget two more times then. He wasn't quite happy with me and at some point told me I wasn't making things better, for which he was reprimanded. It didn't help that this was baseball practice night and all of this was happening after 7:30 - but we survived it. and I had a little talk about summer being over, and getting back into the school routine. He told me that he didn't have the same PE teacher, (he has the "lady teacher") which kind of disappoints me, because the other PE teacher has been his teacher since 1st grade, and is aware of his limitations, abilities and history - but he seems to like the "lady te! acher" - but I can see that another letter and pamphlet will need to be sent to school. The fourth day of school came home happy and talked about all that they were learning about the Renaissance. He survived missing recess, likes his teachers and was glad that the week was over, as there was no school on Friday. I had a wonderful reply from his homeroom teacher to the letter I sent in, asking me to provide more material, that she wants to learn more about his disease so that she can assist him in having as great a school year as he has had previously at the school. She also had some positive things to say about his attitude and eagerness to participate in class. So the new school year is getting off to a great start - with the exception of a snag or two. I am so pleased that we have been able to have such a great relationship with this school & really dread the change to Middle School next year. Now,hopefully he will have remembered to bring home everything he needs tonight!ValRob's Mom (9,systemic) Email and AIM finally together. You've gotta check out free AOL Mail!

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi Val, Thanks for the update. It sounds like you have a good understanding of Robbie’s needs. Also, thanks for solving a problem that my son came home with just yesterday. He also is too short for the desks and said his legs and feet hurt from having them hanging all day. Now I know to call the PT of the school for a foot stool, or new desk or some sort of accommodation. Thanks. Hope Robbie continues to do well. Take care, (and Ezra, now 11 year old systemic) On 9/4/07 5:00 PM, " carneyval@...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks Robbin, good ideas - but his assignment book is where he records all of his homework assignments (provided by the PTA for all the 3rd - 5th Grade Students) - and the parent generally is to initial it when the assignment is done (haven't had the back to school night yet - that's tonight, where the teacher will let the parents know what her requirement is re: the assignment book.) It also has a space set up for Teacher & Parent communications, which we have already used this year.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi Beth, It does sound like your 5th grade is set up similarly to ours. So far his homeroom teacher is his Social Studies and Reading, Spelling teacher, he has a different Science teacher and a different Math teacher (for now) - and then the specials have different teachers as well. They did it this way beginning in 3rd Grade in 's school, but that year with the exception of specials, they were split between two teachers. At this point, there doesn't appear to be a time set up to work on homework in the class - though I will think about your suggestion and see if I can come up with ideas for to use during the day - He has a "take home" folder - and if he manages to put things in it as the day progresses he should do ok. He's lucky that he has a set of books at home, so he doesn't have to remember them - as long he remembers his assignment book. I hope that Hannah has a great year!

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Val, You can write in before school if he is having a hard morning. Or had a hard night with his JRA. This way the Teacher can see what is going on. With pain kids do get a attitude. Which spills over into class. WHY? Due to the child doesn't want to give in if they are enjoying what they are doing. was a shortie as well The Desk she was use to was a 1st grade desk. She never had a issue with the small desk being made fun of. As the Teacher would say if your legs do not touch the floor let me know lololol.
