Note 8

Dear Ms. K --

T has a tendency to get upset when things don’t go his way.  He is not disrespectful, but it is distracting.

-- Ms. X

Note 8 – Response

Dear Ms. X –

If T works very, very hard, by the end of Kindergarten, he might be able to write notes instead of becoming visibly upset when things don’t go his way.   I can’t promise it will be any less distracting, though.

-- Ms. K

Notes Home From Kindergarten

Note 7

Dear Ms. K --

T was playing with the front of his pants today.  And his pants were halfway down when he was on the playground.  Please tell T he needs to keep his pants up.

-- Ms. X

Note 7 – Response

Dear Ms. X –

T was playing with the front of his pants because the tie at the front of his pants came untied; it was still untied when he came home.  He was trying to fasten the tie, but he hasn’t learned that particular life skill yet.  I would have thought, however, that Kindergarten teachers do possess that particular life skill and could help their students.  And, yes, because the tie was undone, his pants didn’t stay up very well.

-- Ms. K

Note 6

Dear Ms. K --

T pretended like he was going to hit a girl in the face.  They were laughing, but this is unacceptable behavior.  If he can’t learn to control himself we will have to send him to the office.

-- Ms. X

Note 6 – Response

Dear Ms. X –

So T and another child were laughing and playing together, and it looked to you like he might be pretending to hit her, but he didn’t hit anyone and no one complained about being hurt or afraid?  What exactly does he need to control?  And how can the office help with that?

-- Ms. K
