Goals, part 2

Today was Nikko's last day of school. The teachers gave him a little plastic bug collector kit. He wore it around his neck for half the day, but lost interest in everything when I got him a Toy Story 3 action figure multipack. He's been carrying around a miniature Buzz Lightyear and Rex dinosaur for the rest of the day. We met up with a relative and the Penepackers later in the day, having dinner with everyone at Gulliver's Pizza, but because Ronin didn't have a nap today and it was close to Audrey's bedtime, both the little ones were cranky and wailing to go home. Nikko was surprisingly calm and the best behaved. Unfortunately, on the way to the car, his arm must have gotten hurt while he was wrangling against Chinny & Atz, who were helping me drag him to the car. He's been complaining about his arm/hand hurting ever since, and if it still hurts him tomorrow morning I may have to take him to the pediatrician. Grrr.

Anyway, the following are Nikko's IEP goals for 2010/2011. I still have to review them, then jot down any notes or questions as a result. I noticed that two items were functional goals while the rest were academic, and wonder if there needs to be more or less of one than the other. I trust the teachers' assessments, but I need more time to mull this all over.
