preschool boys games online
How can I and this family get the resources they need from the school district
I was talking to a good friend of mine yesterday. He has two young boys, twins aged 4 years old in September. These two boys are amazingly intelligent. Their father was telling me about their online blog (I don't have one of thsoe, and neither does he!), their use of the computer to read and write stories, poems, journal entries, play games, and many other things. These boys both tested at a 2nd grade level 2 years ago (at age 2!) and are now testing at a 4th to 5th grade level, thanks mostly to the amazing work that their mother does with them at home. They are currently in a preschool program for children with special needs because they did not start talking until they were 3 years old, but they speak in signs fluently. The reason they did not speak until they were three is because of a physical deformity in both the boys' vocal cords (most people's vocal boxes are shaped like a U, but their vocal boxes are shaped like a V [this is what their father told me]), so it's not a lack of communicative skills, a lack of intelligence, or a lack of trying that has caused hem to devolop late vocal skills. It is a lack of physical ability. The school district they live in wants to delay the twins from attending Kindergarten until they have better vocal skills. Not because they aren't devolopmentally ready, but because their body is not ready! I asked their father how this is any different from denying a child from entering school because they can't walk or are deaf or blind. He agrees that it is ridiuclous that the school district wants to hold them back, but doesn't know what to do to enforce their attendance of Kindergarten this coming fall. It is my belif that any delay in their school would lead to a delay in their educational ability, that they may lose some skills that they have gained, that they will slow down in their progress (in two years, they gained almost 3 grade levels in ability, and delaying their education may dealy that progress).
It is my belief that these two boys should be in special education, but not for the developmentally -delayed- but for the Gifted and Talented, perhaps even be tested for special classes for children who show genius possibility. However, the boys' school wants to keep them back, and says they don't have a teacher that can work with them...they don't want to teach them sign language because they are not deaf, but they don't have a special program for non-vocal gifted children. The school says that they cannot go in the 'regular' GT program because they do not talk well enough to be understood (both boys have trouble with multi-syllable words or long sentences, because the amount of air it takes to push words out takes a lot more energy and effort out of them then a normal vocal box would allow, so t hey tire easily).
I am shocked and upset that their school district is not willing to work with these two very smart, very wonderful little boys to give them the very best education, and so my question is: What can the parents of these little boys do to force the school to allow the children into a gifted program, whether their vocal skills get better by then or not (btw, the doctor says that with practice and effort, the children's vocal boxes will become a normal shape, and they will have no further trouble with their speech when the shape rights itself).
Advice? Help? If it helps, the boys live in Chesapeake, Virginia. They will be 4 years old in September, and yes, they are seeing a speech therapist (which is why they are speaking at all now, because of practice and therapy to improve muscle strength and try to push their vocal boxes into a U shape). And the cause of the mis-shapen vocal boxes was prematurity (not sure how premature they were, but that is the only lasting disability they have from their prematurity)

Is it strange for a nanny to do this much
Okay so I'm 21 and I'm a Nanny...I personally love my job and the family I've worked for them for about 6 months now. I am also a part time college student for the moment I'm taking some online classes (only 2) so I can graduate in May with my Bachelors degree in Elementary education. The family I nanny for has a pretty good income I guess you could say....the mother has her doctorate in education and the dad is an architect...They pay me $550 a week and $175 if the boy has a soccer game on a Saturday. So I'm not complaining but my friends think it's odd at how much I actually do...what do you think???
My Routine:
The children: a 4 year old girl and a 9 year old boy. They are both in private schools.They are lovely children really.
Here is my daily schedule 5 days a week with them.
6:30am I go to their house they are already dressed and waiting on me to make breakfast.
7:15am: I drop the boy off at school
7:30am: I drop the girl off at preschool
8:00am: I go back to their house and make their beds tidy up their rooms and make sure their laundry is clean and put away.
9:30am: I make myself some breakfast
10:30am: I take the dog for a walk or every other Tuesday the dog has to be taken to the groomers.
11:30am: I make sure the dog has food and water, I make sure the cat has food and water and I have to feed the fish ( 4 large fish tanks and 1 koi pond.)
12:15pm: I lay out the girls lesson books out so she can practice her letters and numbers when she gets home.
1:00pm: I go get the girl from preschool and help her with her letter and numbers if she needs me. She does that until it's time to go pick her brother up from school.
2:45pm: I lay out their snack and gummy vitamins in the dinning room.
3:00pm: I go get the boy from school
3:20pm: I make sure they chew their vitamin then they eat their snack and then I get their tumbling and soccer gear together.
3:30pm: They are allowed to watch 1 hour of TV in their rooms.
4:30pm: We get ready and go to the YMCA for their tumbling and soccer practice.
5:00pm: We are at the Y until 6:30.
6:50pm: We are back at their house and I make for dinner whatever is marked in the fridge for me to make for them. While the boy does his homework if he has any and they girl usually likes to "help" me in the kitchen =)
7:30pm: They eat dinner.
8:00pm: They get their baths and while one is taking a bath the other one gets to watch tv.
9:15pm: Their parents get home (they meet for dinner somewhere when they get off work). I'm asked how the day went and then I leave and do it all over again...
What do you think?
