As some of you may know Will can be a handful at times. He started off this school year somewhat poorly. He had the first detention of the school year and he was the only one in the detention. Although I disagreed that he should have every had said detention (as well as his teacher) I still made him go to show respect for the staff at the school. His teacher is a wonderful woman. We have worked all year on his behavior. She has been patient with both Will and I. We tried several approaches to rein him in but what seam to work the best was the old red, yellow, and green light system. I made cute little shapes and laminated them and he was to leave them in his desk and bring home the appropriate one every day. This worked for the longest time until the shapes kept getting lost. Now he just tells me what color he is. For the most part he has been on green with the occasional yellows. I have been very proud of his accomplishments!
Last week he came home on Tuesday just beaming! He had been on Green two days in a row. He received two caught being kind awards from his music teacher(who he has many problems with) and a pencil for being good in music class, and ...... drum roll please!....... A PRIDE AWARD!
On Friday he got to go to his first Pride Award Party! They get a button at the beginning of the day to show other students that they have won the pride award. Then at 2:30 they meet in the cafeteria for a Pizza with the Principal Pride Party!
First they line up and get pizza and juice.
He kept letting everyone go so he would be the last to get Pizza. Seamed only fitting!
He then got called to get his bookmark and
shake the principals hand.
