This is going to be a short post. On Tuesday, I dropped off SJ at speech and tried to get two errands done. I needed to go to Goodwill to get an outfit for our 100th day at school celebration. All of the students and staff were going to dress like they were 100 years old or lived 100 years ago. It took a little while to find the items to make up my outfit. I spent a whopping $12.72 for an oversized sweater, floral dress and orthopedic looking shoes.
After I left Goodwill, I had a solid 12 minutes to get to McDonald's and then back to speech. I thought that was plenty of time, but I was so wrong. There was a huge line at the drive thru. Yes, I know. I should have parked and went inside, but I thought I still had time. I was line for a while, because the cars that were four places in front of me had special orders. Special orders should go inside.
When I got back to the therapy place, I was 6 minutes late. I felt terrible. His therapist looked upset and told me they were about to call me. Her next client was there. I apologized and I learned my lesson. Two errands are too many for his session. I will only leave if I have one errand.
Since I was late, I didn't get to talk to her about his session. She did hand me his homework. There was a sheet of idioms, following directions worksheet and a worksheet on identifying problems and solutions. He did very well with all of his homework.
On his idiom paper, I went over the idioms to see which ones he knew. He knew 12 out of the 14. The ones he had trouble with were "bit off more than you can chew" and "head in the clouds". One of the ones that he did know was "couch potato". He said to my husband the other day that he was a couch potato since he likes to watch lots of hockey on television. Bob laughed so hard when he said that. I think he laughed for a solid minute.
His following directions worksheet was easy for him. I read him the 20 sentences and he had to raise his hand when the sentence was a direction. He got 20 out of 20 correct. Great job, SJ!
The last homework sheet was the identifying problems and solutions worksheet. I read him a paragraph and he had to look at the picture. Then, he needed to answer the questions. I scripted his answers. This was the story.
Trevor and Shane and other students volunteered to set up four courts for the school tennis tournament. Trevor and Shane finished setting up one court, but none of the other volunteers came. The tournament starts in 15 minutes.
What is the problem? SJ answered that all the nets weren't set up. What could the boys do? Write as many ways to solve the problem as you can. This is what SJ came up with.
1. They could set up the nets.
2. They could get help from someone, perhaps a mom or dad.
3. They could call the volunteers.
