It is obvious we live in the South.
Carter was sounding out some random words yesterday, including "coloring". He did a pretty good job with the word, but when he got to the end of it, he told us the "g" is silent. Nice :)

35 Weeks, 5 Days
I had my 36 week appointment on Wednesday. I think I was up to about 164 lbs and my blood pressure was low (but I was never told the actual number).
My doctor finally checked me and I'm not dilated yet, but the baby's head is down. I'm still measuring one week ahead but my doctor doesn't want to do an ultrasound until about 10 days before my due date. She thinks that if I have him early, we are fine doing a VBAC since he'll be smaller. At 10 days out, we can see if he's too large and then plan a c-section (like we did with Rylan). I wish we'd do an ultrasound earlier but she doesn't agree and it's hard to argue with your doctor!
I've been extra tired and weak lately. My doctor said it's probably a combination of being in my last month, still being anemic, my low blood pressure, and my varicose vein issue which is causing crazy swelling in my right let (thus there is a lot of blood pooling there that doesn't get back up to my heart). I'm trying to wear my compression socks more but it's still be so hot that I've been avoiding them when not at the house. Hopefully it'll really cool off soon!

Baby Shower
On Wednesday night my friends and I had our monthly Girls Night. But Missy made this one special for me and threw me a little baby shower!
Ashley had this cute little cake made. It was super yummy!
And I got lots of fun gifts. Some are replacements for old stuff I already had, like a new Boppy (mine was completely flat), and some are new things like clothes and gift cards for me to pick out a few new things!
Thanks ladies for making me feel so special!!! :)

Spirit Week
Rylan had Spirit Week at preschool this week.
Tuesday was Patriotic Day ...
Wednesday was Team Day ...
Thursday was Twisted Thursday ...
Other than dressing up, I don't think they did anything else special at school. But Rylan still enjoyed picking out clothes to fit into the theme of each day.

Last Baseball Game
Carter had his last baseball game of the season on Monday. It was questionable if they were going to play because of rain in the morning and then some scattered storms in the area in the afternoon. The organization decided it could be played but it ended after less than 30 minutes because of lightning (though we should have called it after about 10 minutes). We were planning on having a celebration after the game too which we have now postponed (which is fine since our head coach wasn't able to make the game because of work).
Carter got to play first base the first inning and outfield in the second. He got no outs but was close a few times (no one on his team got any outs which was weird).
I did get a video of Carter's only time at bat. He got a base hit. The third baseman tried to get an out at third but didn't realize he had to tag the runner since there was no one on first.
Carter had a great season. His coach was much better than last season and we plan to play on his team again in the spring.

Spelling
This is one of the worksheets Carter brought home today.
The kids had to glue pictures under the correct columns based on the letter the word begins with. Then Mrs. Colasso asked the kids to try to spell each word. Considering the class is just starting on sight words, I was pretty impressed with Carter's phonetic spelling.

Soccer Update
Soccer is still going well for both boys.
Rylan has been doing better at practice. There is still the bribe of getting to go to Chuck E. Cheese after two good practices. He still has a hard time keeping it together after getting knocked down or not winning a game, but a mention of Chuck E. Cheese usually reminds him that he's okay and doesn't need to get upset. Despite the breakdowns, Rylan loves soccer so we are still having him play.
Games have been going great though and Rylan doesn't seem to need bribing for them :) He needs to get more aggressive (he tends to just play defense) or not follow the play even when it moves to another part of the field. However, when he does get into it (like the fourth quarter of yesterday's game), he's awesome and almost always wins the ball. He scored one goal and had an assist when he passed the ball to a teammate that was wide open right in front of the goal. I think Rylan has scored at least one goal in all his games this season.
Carter is doing great at both practice and games. He's super motivated to do his best but could also be more aggressive. He tends to wait for a ball to come to him instead of getting in there and winning it. But he still manages to score a ton (I think he had 5 goals yesterday). I ran practice on Thursday and I had the kids working on taking shots from further out (instead of dribbling the ball all the way to the goal and giving the other team more opportunities to take the ball away from them). Carter took this skill and ran with it - most of his shots were from closer to midfield than the goal. A few went in but he had a ton of shots that were wide. I love that he was trying something new though!
Here is one terrible video of one of Carter's closer shots that went in just under the crossbar!

First Test
Looks like Carter had his first test at school yesterday - and got 100%. He even had to bubble in the answers :)
Carter is still loving kindergarten and seems to be doing great. He's learning new things and making lots of new friends.
Preschool
We have had a rough start this year for preschool for Rylan.
Carter had three amazing years at our preschool. All of his teachers were very engaged with the kids and had a good amount of academics mixed in to their well-planned, fun days. Carter's teacher last year was especially good and was extremely dedicated to getting all the kids ready for kindergarten (she has 4 kids of her own and the youngest is in 2nd this year so she is very up-to-date with what kindergarten is like now-a-days).
Rylan's teachers on the other hand have just been okay. I feel like he's always been loved on instead of taught anything. I don't think preschool needs to be extremely academic but it needs to be more than babysitting as well. Even though I work with Rylan at home on letters and numbers, he is stubborn for me. However, he will do anything a teacher asks of him. So I really feel like he needs to also be exposed to these concepts at school (as well as things like cutting and patterns, etc). His teachers his first two years had not done this. Last year the most he did with his letters was color in one letter a week on a piece of paper. So before registration for this school year, I went to the preschool director and voiced my concerns to her. I told her I wanted a very academic teacher for this year, one that would push Rylan. She said she understood and told me the two teachers Rylan had a chance of getting this year. One of the teachers I know well and I spoke a few times with the other one to make sure we'd be happy with either before registering at our school.
At the end of August, the preschool sent out letters to all the parents letting us know what class our child would be in. I was shocked when Rylan was in a class with a teacher I didn't know. I called my friends that had Ms. Sue before and was extremely disappointed to find out that they all felt she does nothing to prepare the kids for kindergarten. They all said she'll love on your child but she doesn't teach them anything. She has been at the preschool 20+ years and has no educational degree (like every other teacher at the school does). She has one child who is 30 years old so it's been a very long time since she's had experience with kindergarten (it has changed so much in the last 25 years).
Around here, most people assume that if your child has a summer birthday that they are not going to kindergarten on time. Our current cutoff date is August 31st. I have no idea if we'll hold Rylan back but we are treating this year as if we are sending him. And I expect his preschool teacher to also treat Rylan like he's going to kindergarten.
Well, that just isn't happening.
Here is the work Rylan brought home from school his first week.
And here is what he brought home his second week when they had begun working on the letter A.
I was happy to see that the kids did practice once each week writing their name (though everyday would be better). But the ONLY exposure to the letter A was painting one. There was no introduction to a lower case a, no exposure to the sound the letter makes, and absolutely no practice writing either an upper or lower case A.
Last year Carter did tons each week with each letter. There were handwriting worksheets, books the kids made with words that began with the letter of the week, etc.
So, why the lack in consistency? Both of their classes are supposed to be preparing the kids to go to kindergarten the next year. I don't expect the teachers to be exactly the same, but I feel their should be some consistency in the curriculum.
So Brian and I set up a conference with Rylan's teacher for the beginning of the third week of school. I summarized our meeting in an email to another parent in the class that has similar concerns (there are several of us) and it is below:
First off, one of the behavior issue children was removed from the school on Thursday (James). I believe that it got to the level he bruised another kid and so he was asked to not return. Ms. Sue offered up a few details about him - such as she couldn't have scissors out when he was present because of how he might use them against the other children. From what Ms. Sue said, she was doing all she could to just survive the last two weeks.
Ms. Sue said things were better today but not perfect. She specifically mentioned having the most trouble with Lainey and Anna Sparrow. But there are others as well that are giving her problems. She mentioned things like lining up takes extremely long because some kids are stepping on others and not behaving. Apparently last week some of the kids ran away from her in the hall (one even hid from her).
Basically, it sounds like Ms. Sue is in over her head with behavior and can't handle it. She mentioned having to use a lot of timeouts (which she doesn't like doing) but doesn't have any other system in place. I attempted to give her examples of what some of our other teachers at our school have done such as behavior charts and rewards from a treasure chest at the end of the week. She responded by saying if I'd like to make her a behavior chart, she'd use it. So I guess I'm doing that for her??? Not sure if that'll help but my goal in bringing that up was to get her thinking about methods she might want to incorporate.
I feel though that the only way she will ever have this class under control is if she had a full time assistant. I don't think she has the energy anymore to get the kids in line that are misbehaving. And thus our well behaved kids are going to suffer from that.
My other big concern is academics. I brought in Rylan's work from last week and basically told her I didn't think it was enough to prepare the kids for kindergarten. She got very defensive about how she couldn't do work with them because of behavior issues this past two weeks. She showed me her lesson plan for the week which looked organized and had lots of ideas in it, but even if she got the kids to all behave, I don't think she'd manage to get through it. She showed me her goals for the year to prepare the kids for kindergarten. The biggest gap I saw was absolutely nothing on letters. She wants them to be able to recognize and write their names but there was nothing on letter recognition and writing. She tried to tell me that this isn't something that is expected when entering kindergarten. I know Carter just started kindergarten, but I think she is completely wrong on that! She also said she used to do some worksheets with the kids but she found that parents complained about that and didn't want her to be so academic so she stopped doing them. I again told her that I believe this group of parents would think it's important for the kids to practice sitting in their seats and complete a worksheet (they are there 5 1/2 hours - they could spend 5-10 minutes doing a worksheet or two!). At one point she said if she can get the kids to line up, wash their hands, share (basically all the social things), she did her job of preparing them for kindergarten. I don't think I'm ever going to agree with her academics for the kids but if we could manage the discipline issues, I might be able to accept what she does and continue to work with Rylan at home. Though I REALLY would prefer a teacher with a different outlook on pre-K curriculum; however, I know it's not easy to switch to another teacher at our school.
There was a lot of "it was really hard on me last week", "I went home crying everyday", etc from Ms. Sue. And I understand it can be hard but I don't believe Ms. Sue can handle this many 4 year olds or that she was really trying to remedy the situation either. I don't get the impression she wants to attack the problem and fix it, just that she wants to complain about it.
So after speaking with Ms. Sue, this is what came back home the third week of school (for B week).
And this was last week (C week).
So this looks a little better. But when I ask Rylan about it, Ms. Sue isn't telling them what they are doing. For example, the kids cut out the pictures that begin with the letter B and glue them on the paper. However, Rylan said Ms. Sue didn't tell them that these things begin with the letter B and what sound B makes. He just cut something out and glued it like Ms. Sue said. So while Ms. Sue is putting more out for the kids to do, there is no instruction. I appreciate that she's making some effort but it does not meet my expectations for preparing the kids for kindergarten.
I have been working with Rylan every morning and afternoon on his letters. We are working on recognition of upper and lower case, writing the letters, and learning their sounds. (We are also trying to fit in speech practice twice a day too which is a little challenging with our crazy schedule right now.) We don't work for long, just 5-10 minutes at a time. I want to do this and I would probably be doing a scaled back version no matter what teacher Rylan had this year. However, I'm concerned that there is very little reinforcement at school.
We are also dealing with a little boy in the class that is not nice to the other 3 boys, including Rylan. Most days Rylan tells me about how this little boy has pushed him or taken things from him. I've reminded Rylan how to tell the other boy those things aren't nice and to please not do them. But it hasn't been getting better so last week I told Rylan to go directly to Ms. Sue when it happens (apparently she never sees any of it) though we try to not encourage tattling. He told me that he did that on Thursday and Ms. Sue talked to the other little boy.
Monday though I did a playdate with the class at a playground. I got to witness how rough the other little boy was with Rylan. Once he grabbed Rylan's shirt collar from behind and pulled him around. And the little boys mom also saw this and just laughed (any ideas why he behaves so poorly???). No wonder Rylan didn't want to go to the playdate!
After seeing this, I spoke with Ms. Sue about it yesterday morning. I told her what Rylan had been telling me was happening at school and what I had observed at the playground the day before. I told her that I explained to Rylan that he should tell Ms. Sue when something happened from now on. And I asked if she'd please make some extra effort to keep on eye on the other little boy and how he's treating Rylan. Her initial response was, "I want him to stick up for himself." Like she didn't want to be bothered by him tattling to her. I was a little shocked by her response to the situation.
Anyway, I'm now working on setting up a meeting with the preschool directors for later in the week. I spoke with them before school started and they were not very interested in my concerns. They told me they'd never heard from any parent that they were unhappy with Ms. Sue as a teacher. They were unwilling to consider another class for Rylan, including the ones I was assured we'd be in (which I expected because they usually have waiting lists) and basically ended our conversation by telling me I could withdraw from the program if I wasn't happy (which they know isn't really an option if I want Rylan in a preschool since all the good schools usually have waiting lists).
Hopefully we will figure out a solution soon! I'm not sure what it will be but there are a few other parents in the class that are speaking with the directors this week. I hope we can get to a place where Rylan is excited about school, feels safe in his environment, is exposed to more academics that will prepare him for kindergarten, and is with a teacher this is upbeat and excited to teach.
