PROGRESS....AND A MEETING

BELOW: What I got done yesterday...

ABOVE: detail.

TODAY: could be interesting. I spoke to Griffin's teacher yesterday afternoon, and expressed my concerns about his lack of progress and I asked her what was being done to help him along. I also said I was prepared to take him to extra tuition if she thought it would help him.

Unfortunately is seems she took this conversation 'personally' ... I think she thought I was disparaging her teaching, cos now we have an appointment this morning to see the Pricipal and Deputy Principal about our 'concerns'. I was rung to arrange this, so of course I am making Stew come too!

Of course I do not have concerns about the teacher's abilities! I just wanted to make sure Griffin was not going to fall behind any more than he already is... and asked what help he was getting? He is not in Reading Recovery at this new school yet, something I thought he would be in immediately on arriving there. Oh well, this morning should provide some answers I hope.

After the meeting I presume I will come home and do some more of the mosaic table top. How much more fun can I be?

NEWS FLASH.....

AMANDA IS BACK!!!! Go read her blog again.....


The meeting with the Principal and Deputy Principal: well you always feel like you are a little kid again, butterflies in your tummy.... like you are about to meet.....

THE OGRE!!! But of course it is never that bad! I am actually never really worried about meeting 'The Principal'..... they are just like everyone else!

Anyway, the meeting went REALLY WELL... we talked at length about our concerns, and steps are being taken to get Griffin tested, assessed etc and onto some progammes to help him. I feel this should have been done when we first arrived, but oh well, it's sorted now and that's the main thing.

I just got a call from the Mall, my GHD's have arrived ... so the mosaic can wait.... I'm outta here!

Well I am now the proud owner of a GDH hair straightener! Very happy with them too. Will give them a go this afternoon after I've picked up the kids.

Just remembered something from the conversation this morning at school... they are going to get him tested for Dyslexia! Wonders will never cease... I asked about that possibility over a year ago and was poo - hoo'd .... will be interesting to see eh?

End of Day: an awesome day! Had a lovely afternoon tea at our neighbour's this afternoon... Brylee and Griffin got 3 Mellowpuffs each! Piglets... ha ha ha. And Me? NONE, not a one! So proud of myself!

NSV: didn't eat anything evil today, even though it was offered on a plate! lol..... nite nite.
