Pre-K Progress report

Oh boy it has been awhile since I wrote. Logan had his progress report for Pre-K and as I expected, he is "Not as Excepted" on most everything. While he has made MAJOR progress since going to Wauka Mountain, he still has several communication problems and we are learning more about his sensory processes issues. They informed me that he is doing better at circle time as long as he does not have to sit within the circle (a sensory issue). He still has bad days whenever anything is off schedule or routine. They said as far as his skills go, he needs more practice at home. Which we work with him every evening and on the weekends. So we decided to get him the V Motion gaming system from V Smile. Our friends has one and we watched him play a sorting game and a pattern making game. He did pretty good, but I could see where he was having problems. So maybe between that and us working with him at home, we can get him up to par with his classmates.

The good news is that he is being more social now with his classmates. They said if one of them falls, he will ask them if they are ok. He will also go up to one of his classmates and ask if they would like to play with him. If they do not answer him, he will say "Please play with me. I said please." However, the social comes with newer problems we haven't experienced before. Around strangers Logan used to be very quite and not speak to them at all. Now he will walk up to anyone and tap them on their leg to talk to them. We need to start teaching him some boundaries. It's hard, you try to remove some of their boundries they put up because of their disabilities and now I have to teach him to put one up.

I am still trying to find an answer to get him to sleep more at night. He is almost 5 and he will only sleep 8 hrs a night. Then he falls asleep at school while they are reading stories. When he wakes up in the morning, he is so wide awake it is hard to tell him to go back to bed. So we are working on that and teaching stranger danger.
