This kid has been struggling in school...with focusing, neat work, timely manner of completing his work...his teacher, whom we love, wanted to have a behavior contract with him to hopefully help him with doing better during the day. I love that she wanted to do this together. So we have been talking and working on doing better. He started off pretty shaky and we both were wondering if this was going to work. Then all of a sudden he had a fantastic week!! He got double stars in every category for every day of the week! We were thinking surely it was a fluke...but then it happened again!
We were so proud of him, Dad, me and his teacher! She was super proud and awarded him the Coyote of the Week. It was something that she wanted for him so bad. She was sure that showing him how hard work pays off and us being proud of him would encourage him. He's still been doing good and we are so happy for him.
OOOOHHHHHH!!!! I so remember these days with Jackson. I spent many days in 1st and 2nd grade in tears!! But, he pulled it together by 3rd. So hang in there. I can say, it gets better. He is such a great kid. Way to go Noah! (I'm sure it was just as exciting for YOU!)
