,

My daughter Sara is 17 and also a senior. In fact she just wrote a

paper on what she has learned from having a sibling like Mark. (she didn't

want me to read it)

She will watch him for us but like you said I don't want to overdo in that

area. I sure wish Mark liked to clean like Kendra!! If they lived closer he

could make the messes and she could clean .........just joking. That was a

good idea and I might try to think of some other things he could do

independantly. I know that we need more time for the two of us, I'm not giving

up yet. V

If I may add a touch....my consultant always gets on me for this...make

sure sure your goals are measureable. Thus....

1. ______ will curb the sarcastic manner when talking with parents on 60%

of all conversations.

2. ______ will acknowledge and act with a positive attitude in regards to

possibilities for children's IEPs on 4 out of every 7 occasions.

3. ______ will refrain from blaming parents in 3 times out of 4, for long

IEPS that _______ drags out.

4. ______ will acknowledge that interactions with peers can be positive

IEP goals in 90% of all occasions.

These goals will be reviewed at least once in every 6 weeks grading period.

They will be measured by Parent Observation and sampling of parent reaction.

There are times when I wonder if I really can teach, but I know I can write

IEP goals that will pass State Ed Agency muster! I guess that is why they

pay me the big bucks! <g>
