This turtle came home with our 2nd grade daughter the other day. You accumulate points being a good student in the classroom, and when you have certain points by the end of the week, you get to pick a treasure out of the treasure box. With pride, I patted her on the shoulder. Now, now, this week came home with her a detention note. It said, "chasing other children in line, instead of lining up quietly," She said, "but (why do they have to start with this word?) the teacher warmed me just once." Her teacher says she warned her many many times over many many days. So whom should I believe? She was successfully detained after school on Tuesday, wrote a letter to the principal and came home. I like this school making resource available to teach kids how to be a good citizen in and around the class this way.
