8th grade Civil War Era Cotillion
This experience constituted the final
grade for history

I have spent countless hours over the past few days trying to prepare for James's IEP meeting that is coming up in a few weeks. Fight for an aide or allow him to go it alone. Work on getting modifications and accommodations in the classroom to cater more to James's learning style. James is doing okay in a mainstreamed classroom without an aide but I don't know his potential if his curriculum were modified or if he had support in the classroom. It is grueling and I am utterly exhausted!

We have found wonderful pockets of educational experiences for our kids that are so worth the exhaustion. Both of the kids have had wonderful, living history, experiences that have taught them way more than a textbook possibly could. Some of the most memorable have been:
 |
California Gold Rush Charlotte
(4th grade)
|
 |
5th grade Age of Sail (1906) Balclutha on
the SF Bay (Charlotte LOVED
this experience!!)
