School is in

We have started school and I think it is going well.  Josh seems to like it but is having some social issues at recess.  This is a bummer since he loves to be social.  However, on the acedemics he likes it very much.  But he still wants to go back to his old school next year.  He wanted to move sooner but I told him thee was no space at his old school so he is ok with waiting until next year.  Then if he still can't go to his old elementary the following year he plans on attending the Middle School.  The Academy they are at right now will eventually go up to the 8th grade.  Josh will be going to the BIG middle school. 

Josh also received the notice for flag football so he is going to be doing this as well.  He will still continue to do cross country on his days off so they can keep him on the roster until we know for sure.  He likes to do the running and he is doing great at it.  He started with only being able to do a 1/2 mile around and now he is up to a Mile and 1/4.  which is great.  So I hate for him to give it up and yet he really likes his football.

Brandon is doing well at school.  However, there is one teacher that I am worried about.  She has a way that I just sort of clash with.  Maybe it is the way she says things or maybe I am too sensitive.   I walked in the school the other day and her words to me were "Brandon missed his detention."  What my Brandon had detention?  Turns out it was for another teacher at recess that he missed the detention.... So why was she telling me this and not the actual teacher?.  The teacher that gave him the detention showed me the sheet he needed to do and we talked to Brandon how important is was to get done and he smiled and said he would.  We got it done right away. 
This other Teacher_ Miss B (give her a name) always has assignments that look HUGE... but when you piece it out it is not that bad.  However with a child that becomes so overwhelmed quickly... this is a task.  She sent home a 12 page project and wrote Brandon needs to finish.  I looked it over and I asked him if he did this in class.  He said yes but it was too confusing for him.  I think he is afraid to ask for help or does not know how to ask for help.   It was a bunch of maps with different directions on each page.  It really wasn't anything difficult but you could barely read some of the maps... so I pulled out ours and we used ours to answer.  I have a feeling over time I will be clashing with this person.  All his other teachers are on board.  Time will tell.
