Avery got in the car yesterday and I was expecting my happy little girl but I got something very different. She was a mess. So upset. Took a few minutes but I finally got from her that she had her color changed (they start on green, next color is purple). She has never gotten her color changed. It gets changed for behavioral issues. She was beyond upset. I could not get from her why it got changed so I called the teacher. Not that I was upset at all. I was glad and I told the teacher that. If she is not listening I want her to have consequences. Apparently they had been going outside all day to watch a puddle dry up and watch a sun dial. Miss Roth asked the kids several times to stay away from the puddle and she finally said, "the next person that goes near it will get their color changed." Right as she said that Av threw a rock into the water!!! hehehhe I'm betting had she not just said that she would not have changed Av's card but she had to at that point. Av was devastated and had a hard time getting herself back together. As soon as her teacher learned it was me on the phone her first question was if Av was ok? Yes she was fine. I had her calmed down and she understood. It is good for her. She needs to be held accountable for her actions. While I had the teacher on the phone I took the opportunity to ask how Av was doing. Miss Roth said she was doing well. She said that she had just had to turn in the recommendations for next year and Av was not on the list to repeat K. She thinks 1st will be tough and we have work to do to get her prepared but she didn't think staying in K would benefit Av. She said Av has the foundation of knowledge to go on. We are so excited and so proud of her. We will see what next year brings but as for now things are great!!! Avery works sooooo hard and tries so hard I am happy her hard work is paying off.
