Deqlan's delighted to be back at school and this year as on Octopus!
We are blessed to still have Ayline as his teacher as she is now taking the grade R group!
The first day of school started off with a happy dance and laugh at the gate when seeing Ayline and Ash and then he was off not to worried if mama stayed or left :)
things are stepped up a notch in the octopus class and you need many more hands, i mean tentacles for all the new and exciting tasks! the most exciting being, letterland, right about deqies street :) he loved playing with the porgamme last year, which is based on the alphabet. this year its learning with letterland and focusing on each letter in different ways. learning the sound, how to write the letter in sand and eith pencils and looking for the letter in each others names for example.
deqlans frustration levels started peaking towards the end of last week and got so frustrated at one point he head but ayline and bit another learner :(
we did look at the thought of candida flaring again but it just didnt seem consistent enough for me to say candida was the culprit. nanna also pointed it it could be a sensory issue, as he is also trying to chew on everything he can get in his mouth again
ayline had a breakthrough today, realising what was urking our beautiful boy. he didnt want to focus and finish the task for the morning, so she did it with him when all the kids were finished and guess what- he did it perfectly. the hustle and the bustle of having so many kids around him, making a noise is just to overwhelming and he cant say " stop this is to much" or " to "loud" so it comes out in other ways. she is going to try and do group work with a quieter group tomorow to see if it helps our deqie. he would thrive doing lessons on his own, but thats not always what its going to be like in the real world- so we got to try and help him and modify his environment when we can, to help him continue to learn, which he loves doing!
deqlans sentences are more beautiful and lengthy then ever before- even complicated long requests or stories are so beautifully told- some times words not exactly in the right order but we know exactly what he is talking about - such a blessing
some older friends have left little leaps to start grade 1 at other schools and some new beautiful faces and personalities! including 2 girls :) they are so lovely ;)
heres hoping each day improves for our beautiful boy
