Meeting with the teacher

Thanks for the reminder Amy :-) The meeting was supposed to be with Braedon's teacher and vice principal however, the vice principal was called into another conference-I was lead to believe it was with a child with more issues than the "minor" ones we are dealing with.

So we bribed, er, were nice parents and brought Miss Fredrickson a Boba which we found out during meet the teacher night (when Chris and I walked in with one and she said "Oh my goodness where can you buy Boba around here? To which we turned and looked with absolute astonishment that she knew what Boba was) is one of her all time favorite drinks.

What is Boba you may ask? You can find that information right here.

So, now you know-you learned something new today didn't you? It's always good to learn new things.

Ahem, back to the meeting. So we brought her one-yeah maybe in hopes of her taking it easy on us-and after watching her grin like a kid in a candy store showing off her Boba to the entire staff, we went into the classroom. She showed us a chart she had created. In the left column, she had a box for the opposite of everything Braedon does to get in trouble-not sitting on his bum during carpet time, not sitting in his chair for table time, getting out of line, speaking out of turn, etc (there were 12 but I can't remember them all)-and the top row was Mon-Fri. So the plan is for everyday that he does each of these things (or the opposite really), he will get a sticker. I hope that makes sense LOL! So he will get a sticker for sitting on his bum, staying in line, yada yada. The ulitimate goal, obviously, is to have a sticker for every one, every day but the first goal was 8. Braedon decided he could do 9. If he gets his stickers for the day, he is on green or purple depending on how well he does but if he gets less, then he will be on yellow, orange, red accordingly. The chart will be at his table as a reminder and it will be sent home every Friday so we can see where he earned his stickers.

Miss Fredrickson was confident that this will work and will help him get back on track. I hope so!

  1. Yay for bribing the teacher. Good idea!!!

    I was on a program just like that when I was younger. I had to have extra attention/stickers and treats to the basic things that you are supposed to do. In the end it worked, so I hope it does the same with Braedon.
