Corrine had a field trip planned to Kent Park for today, but it rained, ALL DAY. So no field trip for her. I was up at the school getting some final meetings for Simeon's IEP done and I heard "I feel bad for those 1st and 2nd graders today" numerous times. What do you do when you have everything cleaned and packed in 5 classrooms and your field trip gets cancelled for the last day of school. And to top it off, Corrine's teacher got sick this morning and wasn't at school and the sub wasn't able to get there for an hour. Thankfully the other 2nd grade class has team teachers and one of them popped over to help out.
Despite the cancelled field trip, the rain outside, her teacher getting sick and not having a teacher for an hour, Corrine had a fun last day of school. They got to have a movie party and eat a picnic lunch in their classroom. Since Corrine's teacher wasn't there today I didn't get a picture of her with Corrine.
Ammon's teacher has been gone all week. We knew at the beginning of the year this would happen. She's at her son's wedding. So they did lots of packing and finishing up of things last week. This week they got to watch a movie during quiet time in the afternoons. This was our 3rd time having Mrs. Christanson and all the kids have just loved her. She's been a part of our family for almost 5 years now and were so grateful for all the love she's given our kids. She's seen us at our lowest and most stressed times and has celebrated with us during the good times.
I've kicked myself more then once that I don't have a picture with Simeon and his teacher Mrs. Johnsen. (I will be taking one during the ice cream social in August with her-NO MATTER WHAT!) He's had her for the last 2 years and she is AWESOME, AMAZING, SO HELPFUL!! We are hoping Corrine gets her. The last 6 months we have known that Simeon needed some serious catch up with reading and writing. She has implemented new things time and time again to help him. She knows Simeon and what he is comfortable doing. One thing he was doing was bringing him almost to tears, and she told him to finish it this one time and he was done. She knew it was doing more harm then good, so she found something else for him to do to help him. She got him into a reading program that after just a few months he has shown so much improvement in reading. She has been the biggest advocate for Simeon, and has gone to so many meetings with me this year.
