Lately our sweet Jennifer has been making some changes. She's really starting to learn how to "fix" things that may not align with her desired outcome. Example: Last week she brought home an 80 on a test about the regions of SC. Apparently, she didn't agree with her teacher's idea of correct answers. So, she decided to mark through the 80 and give herself a 100! Earlier in the week, due to Jennifer coming home with tallies every day, I spoke with her about behavior expectations and the consequences for tallies. We set different punishments for 1, 2, 3, and 4 or more tallies. Today, she received 4 tallies for not being compliant at school. She's never gotten 4 tallies! When she came into my office this afternoon, I asked to see her agenda as usual. She smiled that cute, sweet smile at me and told me that she got 1 tally. Upon inspection, I realize that she wrote over the 4 and changed it to a 1. When Grandma asked her about it, this evening. Jennifer said, "I don't like 4. I like 1!" WOW! This little girl of mine never ceases to amaze me. I love her to pieces!!
Such a funny story to revisit after all these years (spoiler, Jennifer is still like this!)
