I filed the paperwork a few weeks ago. Iz is sad she doesn't get to be with her teacher anymore but we just don't feel it is a safe environment for her (and her psychiatrist agrees. He is not at all happy with how the school handled the situation and their "plan" going forward. He wanted to get her moved to one of the therapeutic day schools but our local district won't consider it until she has multiple incidents over a long stretch of time. I'm not willing to wait for many bad things to happen to get her moved). But she has improved so much mentally and emotionally since she has starting staying home! We worked so hard to get her into a school program and it is so disappointing it has ended this way. But I have my girl back--sure, she still has moments of anxiety and struggle but its so much better than the last few months as her mental and emotional health nose dived.
She is doing awesome with schoolwork. She loves to do "school" and we signed up for an online program the Super Kid used to use to practice his math skills on. Iz does math and language arts through this website and she is going through the modules so quick :p She's in kindergarten but some of her math skills are in the third grade level. She says she likes that the math at home is harder than school because its more fun to do. She is impatiently waiting for me to get off the computer so she can do school :p
At the moment, we are being very relaxed because its winter break and the boys are all home but once they go back to school, Iz and I will make school more structured. There's a local homeschool group that does field trips and playdates for socialization so we are watching the calendar for things age appropriate for her--she is looking forward to making new friends who do school at home like her ;)
