4th quarter awards

Both the girls received awards for the 4th quarter in school.
Madisen got the good behavior award and Saige got the Citizenship award.

Funny story about the good behavior award. One day a few weeks ago I got a call from Madi saying that she was sick and needed to be picked up. So, I drove out to school and picked her up. By the time I got there she was crying pretty hard and said that her stomach hurt. I got her to the car and on the drive home I learned the story about why she was 'sick'.

Our school focuses a lot on behavior-especially in the kindergarten classes. All of the classes have color charts that show each kid's behavior for the day and then at the end of the week, they are sent home to the parents for a signature. Everyday the girls come home with a report of who got their chart changed and what they did to deserve it.

Well, Madi was sick because for the first time all year she got her chart changed to yellow (a warning). She was being too loud and the substitute teacher made her change her chart. It upset her SO much that she had to come home sick from school. She said, "are you mad"?
I laughed my head off and told her that I was NOT mad. I was actually relieved to find out that she is normal! She is so afraid of breaking the rules at school. There have been several times that other kids are bothering her and I have told her to punch them and she would never do it because she does not want to get in trouble. I have assured both she and Saige several times that I will never be mad at them for sticking up for themselves or for each other.

Nat tell your girls I used to get so scared in Mrs. Laura's class because I once got a yellow card. I was giggling to much. It haunted me for the whole week. I was so nervous to tell my mom too.
