Second Day of school and Meet the teacher, so far so good

Today was the second day of school, and after school was "Meet the teacher" in which we were in attendance.  This year the students exchange classrooms and during registration we requested that David not be placed in class with his cousin.  The school did comply with that request but they informed us that the students have their own schedules so they may have a class together.  They didn't change any classes yesterday but they did today.  The first thing that David said when he got off the bus was "guess what class I had today?"  We made a few guesses then he excitedly exclaimed "Science!"  The way the schedule works they alternate between Social Studies and Science on Mondays, then they have Social Studies on Tuesday and Thursday and Science on Wednesday and Friday.  We asked him if he had any homework and then he said "no, but you guys have some" and then we asked him if he had any classes with his cousin and he told us that she was in all of them except home room.  They don't do anything in homeroom except for wait for the first class to start so the attempt to keep them separated so David wouldn't be tempted to talk and be distracted during class sort of failed.  They said that if we wanted to we could call the school and try to have the schedules changed but David really likes his science/social studies teacher and if we have him change schedules he may get put in a different class so we are just going to not worry about it unless things get out of hand.  He should be fine.  He told us that they sat on completely different sides of the classroom so the separation should be good enough.  During meet the teacher David showed around and introduced us to the teachers that he had today.  He was most excited to introduce us to Mrs. Bollinger, the science teacher, however we already knew her from when we were in school as she coached my wife in basketball and I just seen her in the halls.  I really hope that she takes a liking to him since science is David's favorite subject and she should because David is a really likeable boy, however she also teaches social studies which David shows less interest in but it is still one of his strong subjects.  When he introduced us to her she said "I know David pretty good, I asked everyone to tell me what made them think of science and David gave me a lot of examples then at the end he said 'I could go on but I don't think we have enough time left for that.'"  She told us that story with a smile on her face and I think that first impression was a good start for David and I hope the rest of the school year is just as good.  David's second favorite room was the Language arts room, mainly because of the little reading nook in the back of the room with a bean bag chair and a few other chairs, David really loves to read.  We informed her about David's reading levels but also explained a section of his IEP in which he may need extra time to write out his answers.  He has great answers when he has to recite them but when it comes to putting the words from his brain to the paper it is hard on him because of his lack of fine and gross motor skills and his processing delay, both results of his asperger's.  She seemed to be very understanding of that and she also seemed to enjoy the presence of David in her class.  I am really glad that he has already made a positive impression on the teachers in just the two short days that he has been there.  It is going to be a great year.  We are very supportive of David and I believe the teachers have noticed that already.
