School is Started

School is Started

So we are now almost a month into the first year all 4 kids are in school.  David is doing awesome in headstart.  Knows his letters good, counts great and is almost ready for kindergarten already.  Andy is awesome in Kindergarten and both of them have pretty great teachers it seems.  For the older two it has been an on and off thing this year.  There have been lots of adjustments for all of us since many of the people we are used to working with are no longer with this school.
Xavier has gotten more mean and uses words to hurt and be mean on purpose now.  He is so smart, can do his multiplication and division homework well and reads great.  His computer skills are still just amazing to me.  He is still obsessed with the transformers and driving me batty with it.  He is learning minecraft more.
Martina is struggling more and I often wonder if she can make it in that school at all now.  She runs and screams she fights about everything.  I so worry about what I don't know that is going on.  I am having an amazingly difficult time getting info from the teacher this year.  I am supposed to have a meeting soon, we will see if that gets set up.  Yesterday they finally sent home a communication sheet, but it was just a loose sheet in her backpack that I felt must have been intended for daycare kids or something, and I feel there is no way it told me the truth really.  I filled out the bottom part like I was supposed to though and sent it back.  But it said she took only 3 sensory breaks the whole day and those were to listen to music????? Every time she took sensory breaks before it was to swing and run and things, she needs lots of activity, and I am not convinced she is getting it.
In other news, I am currently truly a SAHM as I have no job at all right now.  Miss the income, but kinda nice to take it slower and just deal with kids and house.
CPS is back on our butts, hopefully I can finish setting up the kids' rooms before they come back.  I have the rest of the house OK I think.
The OT for the kids is going to start coming to see me while they are in school now.  That way she can help me learn how to take better care of them and how to redirect them properly.  I hope it works, I know I need the help.
I am doing fairly well and Andray is doing good.  He wants a new job, and I would like it if it works out, but until then, this one works.
Until next time, I am hopeful things at school work out and that we manage OK with everything.
