[quote=Anonymous]Hi there I can understand you were disappointed about your son's book being empty.  This is good place to really listen to your son's teacher on how he performs tasks in school.  My advice, go in softly and listen. Ask some open ended questions.   "How would  you describe kids engagement during school day?", "What parts of the day are the most challenging for kids attention?"  and "what types of tasks seem to be the most challenging for kid"   Use this project as way to find out how things are going otherwise.   A busy work cut and paste into a book for display is really not the end of the world and I share that as a mom of a child with written expression disorder (dysgraphia and ADHD).    Don't go in leading about being upset about the book.

Based on her answers I'd try to see if this issues do merit more attention professionally.  I had my son tested FCPS and they found no issues with written expression.   After 2 years of struggle, I had private testing done and then I had all the backup I needed for IEP and more support/accomodations.   Sounds like the stuff you do at home with him really helps.  Maybe he needs some of that to happen in school day.   Good luck to you and take this conflict as gift it is to open the door to more dialogue about your child. [/quote]
