Special needs and Kindergarten, take 5.2

Another installment of “where does Isaac go to Kindergarten??” is here!  This was an unexpected installment, because I thought I had it all figured out until Wednesday, when the IEP meeting hits.

I was doing detention duty and I had a few students who wanted to get out of it. I had one raise their hand and give me the following excuse: “Mrs. F-I need to go home. I’ve got Swine Flu. I just sneezed twice and coughed twice. I’ve got it!’   Yeah. Sit down, get Continue reading →
