Scarf mostly done, stomach all better!

Feeling better! Tyrathia‘s scarf is done (pictured here not bound off) and will go on the blocking board tonight to help it drape even better. And hey, it only took… what? Two years? There’ll be better pics and notes when it’s actually completely done!


Worth the wait?
Time will tell!

Annual meeting with school officials tomorrow morning to discuss my daughter’s IEP (individual educational plan). You may recall that I hate these like the Fox network hates quality TV shows. Here’s hoping I don’t throttle anyone! Wish me luck!

    Oh, we just got through with Jake’s IEP. Good luck! I’m none too eager to be locked in a room with five other rattled teachers for two hours again!

    Good luck! I’ve sat in on some IEP meetings as the “mainstream classroom teacher” representative – including for some students that weren’t even mine – I guess they just needed one for input? I didn’t mind them all that much from my side of the table – the ones I attended were all pretty amiable and smooth, though. I can imagine that if the parent and school were not generally in agreement on the student’s needs and abilities, it could be a whooooole lot different (not to mention if there are personality conflicts). It’s very easy for a teacher to slip into a fairly impersonal clinical type of mindset on these and forget just how emotionally charged the whole situation is to begin with.

    Again, good luck. I hope it goes well and that your daughter’s needs are understood and met.
