Anniek's teacher called me this morning to let me know that Anniek was chosen to be student of the month! When we moved in January Anniek had to switch school and although the old school knew of Anniek's learning disability they didn't put her right on an IEP because we did not have the doctors retort. Anniek's teacher at the old school also seemed to give up on Anniek when she got sick in the fall. there would also be notes THREE times a week with behavior issues. When Anniek came to the new school her reading level was 2...basically a lower end kindergarten reading level. When Anniek came to the new school they put her in a class with a teacher that was used to special kids and feeding tubes!!! He started Anniek on an IEP from the start and has not let her get away with things like the other teacher did at the old school. When the report came and they set up the IEP they hardly had to change anything they were already doing for her to help in the school. Her reading level also came up to a level 6 with the help they are giving her. Everything is just so much better here for Anniek. The teacher said that Anniek worked very hard to get the award this month and he is proud of her for what she has accomplished in a short period of time...almost makes me wish I moved here sooner.
