More Art

Last January I got this letter from Dan's teacher:

"...This morning he came in and checked his schedule. Today was PE. He took the picture off. I told him that he had PE today so we were going to leave it on. 
He looked at me and said, 'No.'
 I showed him my teacher schedule that said PE for his class. 
He said, 'No PE' again and tried to take it off.
 I told him I was sorry, but it is what is on our schedule for today. 
He got his iPad, and told me "No" again.
I asked him what he would rather have instead, and he verbally said, 'Art.' 
I talked with Dan about being disappointed that today was not art. I made him a specialist calendar for January and February. 
It seemed to appease him and he did well in PE.

Later in the day we worked on writing. 
Every presidential inauguration year, students can write to the president and the letters will be read to congress. 
I asked Dan what he wanted to write about. 
And Dan said, 'More art.' "
