American Education Week Part 3

So the best was when I was in Helen's classroom for bring your adult to a classroom day or whatevs there was parent there I recognized and she was complaining about a teacher to another teacher. And she said, "Well at least I know my kid isn't the WORST in the class."  And so on and then we go get introduced only to realize that not only do we have kids in this classroom together, but we have sons in the same classroom downstairs!  And it takes a second for everyone to realize the worst boy in the class she was talking about?  My Ted. Ha ha Awk.


Anyhooz..Teddy has been doing pretty well lately.  Thriving, if you will.  I just instituted a behavior sheet for the home which is similar to his school behavior sheet.  He gets various points for things throughout the day and of course since Helen is here, she has one, too.  One of the categories is two points for waking up cheerfully.  Ha Helen usually only gets one point on that.  Ted always two and of course he pulls a pencil from the pocket of his pajamas being like how many points did I get?

The behavior sheet is for the week.  There is a total of 226 points that can be obtained. I made each point worth a nickel.  So at then end of the week they total up their points and they have the ability to earn up to eleven dollars. (and ten cents for all of you mathematicians out there.)  Oh, it's totally complicated and they totally love it.  And yep here we actually deduct points for bad behavior instead of ignoring it.

 

It's what we called in the old days... their allowance.
