- Jareth was SOOOO excited about this this game! He LOVED it! It gave him something to talk about everyday.
- He had picture day! he tells me that the first photo was not good and they had to take a 2nd one, hopefully its at least decent.
- He got in trouble , they flip a card for discipline & he got his flipped & got his "job" taken away. --hes disappointed and determined to try to listen better
- He had a REALLY bad day on his 7th day of school he had to go to the principal's office. He hurt a student and disrespected his art teacher (stomped on her foot, bc he was not done with his project and did not want to stop working). He had just gotten back from being sick for 2 days and still getting used to school (so lets hope he does better in the next few days).
- He has had library and got to check out 2 books, he was proud to bring home an alphabet book to read.
- His class is learning about the letter "Mm" and he tells me more about it everyday, he gets very excited to learn!
- They are doing color units every day and are asked to wear a different color shirt to match the unit each day. Jarethi is very excited about this. It lasts for 2 weeks, and we have every color except one (purple - we will figure that one out) and have them all laid out in order already. He has them all memorized, in which order and day they go.
- Today, was the he had a GREAT day and without getting into any trouble! he is very proud!
We have his calendar all written out so he knows what happens each day. His teacher sent home a calendar for the month also, so we hung that up with his in his room. Now he gets excited every night before bed when he sees what he gets to do the next day at school.
He is having lots of fun and making new friends!
