PM

Week of March 9-13:

I am concerned about this observation. It may be that medication is causing the flatulence. As a famous doctor at the Mayo Clinic once observed, "Never be ashamed of one of nature's functions." Expecting PM to control this may be equivalent to "blaming the victim." (Julie)

PM had several incidents of inappropriate behavior this week. He kept holding himself until I made him go to the bathroom. He is also unaware that some bodily functions need to be released in private. We've talked and talked about this. ---Betsy

3/16--PM can control himself, but chooses not to when he thinks it will get a laugh from others. Last week he flicked dried blood and other things from his nose towards the center of the circle during morning meeting, towards Audrey Rinaldi. He didn't see anything wrong with this. He has blurted out nonsense words during discussions and quiet work time. These atypical behaviors are consistant.--Betsy

3/15- PM has been bothering Audrey with name calling since last week. She came in yesterday saying he was calling her mean things and they were exchanging inappropriate words with each other - Isabel

3/18 - We did observe PM playing on the playground equipment with another student (though they were pushing each other) on Monday during recess. this is HUGE as PM normally chooses to spend recess in isolation from his peers

3/18 - How do you think today's parent conference went? .
