Posted by Wendy - BC Canada I just had my first teacher/parent conference yesterday with Keenan's new Grade 5 teacher and I have more good news to share. The classroom teacher decided along with the learning assistance teacher that Keenan will be on the REGULAR Grade 5 program this year IN ALL SUBJECT AREAS! No more modifed program unless Keenan can not pass the unit tests and meet outcomes for Grade 5, but they are giving him a chance to prove himself first. Today is his first Science unit test on the "eye" and he knew it perfectly when he left the house today, so I know he will be capable of passing his tests and meeting the grade 5 outcomes. Currently math is the only subject causing him great difficultly still, but he has made amazing progress with it and he is working out of the Grade 5 text so we are getting there. I must also mention that this is the first meeting I've had with a teacher where we discussed Keenan as if he was a "normal" child in the classroom. Previously the meetings were all bad news and how we might try to modify his program so he could make it through his day. Just think, this is the boy that the "experts" told me "school will never be a good place for Keenan", boy were they wrong! I guess they never heard of Audiblox! Thank you for all you've done to help get Keenan to this point! Blessings,
