So my son has some expressive language delays therefore is having a HARD time with learning how to write expressively. Currently we are using Winning With Writting but I want something more....just not certain where to look! Thanks for any suggestions!

7 year old stuck in math!
Mom2J112903 replied to dodsontribe's topic in The Learning Challenges Board
My son struggles with math but the important thing is that the child knows the *concept* as what will memorizing math facts do if they can not do math in the "real world"? If they understand the concept, they can reach the correct answer. May take the child a bit longer but they can reach the answer IF the concept is learned and achieved. -
It looks like a blizzard outside

And here I am 80 degrees and sunny. I am sure all of us here (Northern AL) would take your snow right now! -
Anyone near Tuscaloosa?
Mom2J112903 replied to Remudamom's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I am about 3 hours north of T'town and only about an hour east of the Hunstville/Madison area where there is significant damage. Around here we have lots of trees down and many parts are without power, but we were lucky compared to most. My prayers are with everyone tonight. These storms were SCARY! -
Do you reward your kids for reading?
Mom2J112903 replied to ReneTL's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Yes because J *hates* to read but reads above grade level. He is working towards a new computer game currently by reading the classic version of Peter Pan. -
Central Auditory Processing Disorder

J does Earobics twice/week at OT in addition to 40-60minutes of Therapeutic Listening 5 days a week. WOW the improvement! He will start The Listening Program as well. I suggest getting into a SLP whom is familiar with CAPD and getting an eval done. :grouphug: -
I can not remember how old J was when it came out but he is reading above grade level and was *addicted* to that show. I can say that he started sounding out words shortly after it came on. We LOVE it and I am bummed that at age 7.4yrs he is "too old for a baby show now Momma". It is SUCH a cute show!!!

How well or not well are your 2nd graders spelling?
Mom2J112903 replied to YarnAddict's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Josef spells on a 3rd grade or higher level, he came out of K at Catholic school spelling above grade level. -
Medic Alert bracelets and sports
Mom2J112903 replied to Quad Shot Academy's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Every sport or activity that J has ever been involved in, every knows about his health and what to do in case of an emergency. I can understand you and why you would never take your son's off. I think I would want J's permantly on him! We have a card on J's seats that tell about him and what to do and whom to contact. I started doing this a long time ago though, one of my worst fears is a car accident and I can't help J. -
Medic Alert bracelets and sports
Mom2J112903 replied to Quad Shot Academy's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Can I just ask why not take the bracelet off, if you are with your child during a physical sport? :o Maybe I am doing wrong, but I do not see the harm in it as I *never* leave Josef alone during sports. He needs a new one actually but there could be some things that come up in the next few months and he would need another new one. So for that reason alone, he has never been left without DH or I since October. -
We bought one for J instead of a DS or any other gaming system. It is VERY well loved!

For *us* we have always let Josef take his off as we are always with him. If the staff is aware of the child's needs and what to do in case of an emergency, *I* would let the child take it off as it does become dangerous to keep it on in some sports. This is if I was not able to stay with my child. I would also have a coach keep it him/her until I returned. -
What am I getting myself into? Gel nails...
Mom2J112903 replied to Sarah CB's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I LOVE them! And FWIW, I have taken acryclic nails off with pure acetone before. Takes a while, but it can be done.
