It's been an interesting week for poop in our classroom. Yesterday we cleared out the local pool. One of my students who has only had 3 bowel movements at school in almost 5 years. Yesterday he had one in the pool. Fortunately for us, we were only about 10 minutes from getting out. The pool staff, however, still had to close the pool and give it a good cleaning. All of the students handled the rather abrupt and very much unexpected transition quite smoothly. We had to give extra directions, but they went along with very little fuss. Yeah!!!
This year I have only one student in pullups. Today he had a BM in the toilet. We give out great cheers for him and he beamed. This is the first one he's had at school (except for one when his mother popped in). He has also started peeing in the toilet. At the beginning of the year, we did not think he would get even this far.
Hopefully the poop will all be in the toilet for the rest of the school year!
