Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week. A nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase, hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is ‘Decisions’ and you can read more about that below.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. And please only add one post to the link up each week, multiple posts will be deleted. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week and I will add posts to Mix Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW
Word of the Week is open from 6am on Friday Morning to 12 noon on Monday. Plenty of time to join in!
If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.
MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Decisions
Compared to last week this week has been fairly quiet. I have been making some decisions though.
Boo has gone back to school this week and her biggest decision is currently which college she wants to go to. She has two preliminary offers but it won’t be fully decided until she gets her exam results. She has also made the decision that she wants to be assessed for Autism. This is something that has been on her mind a lot lately and after several discussions she has decided that she wants to find out for sure. I have never really thought that Boo is autistic, but she has shown traits in the past. I’ve never been really sure whether they were learnt behaviours from her autistic siblings or if she is really good at masking her real feelings. I guess we will find out for sure eventually.
I have also made the decision to apply for an Education and Care Plan for the Little Man. This means that, hopefully, he will get more help with his education. We are currently home educating but he does want to go back to school. We just haven’t found a school with any places or on that will meet his needs. We have been making some decisions about out of school activities that he might enjoy. On Thursday we attended a great music class but now we have to wait for the decision on whether it will be continued in the future.
Some decisions seem out of our hands though as we wait patiently for the results of all of Stars tests and examinations. I really hope that there will be some answers soon and a plan of action.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
I am glad you’ve had a quiet week. Deciding on colleges and courses is such a big thing and good on Boo deciding that she wants to be assessed for Autism, that’s such a big thing too.
Good luck with the education and care plan for your Little Man. Hopefully with that you will get more help.
I hope you hear about Star’s test results soon, waiting is the worst. x
Good luck to Boo with deciding which college to go to and with the autism assessment. Hope that you manage to get an EHCP for Little Man and find the right school for him. Hope that you get some answers too with Star’s tests. #WotW
College decisions are such a big thing. It’s never been a real options for us to change away from their current school, due to transport. I hope Boo finds the best option for her and her grades make it possible. Going for the autism assessment is a big thing. I wonder if your hunch is right. Either way it will give her answers. How fab that you are finding extra curriculum classes for Little Man. Hopefully the EHCP should help him on his route to the education he deserves. I hope Star’s results come through soon for you all.
I hope all goes well for Boo with her college decision and all the best for her assessment. I hope everything works out with the little man’s schooling and fingers crossed that Star gets some answers from the tests.
I think it’s good for Boo to get some answers. Better to know than have it play on your mind. I hope she gets the results she needs for college. I hope you find out about Star soon too #WotW
