"Finn had a good day," were his teacher's exact words.
Now when I asked Finn about his day, he happened to mention, "I hit some kid." Nice. Why? "He was making a lot of noise and wouldn't be quiet." So we had a discussion that we don't hit people (as if we'd apparently never had conversations before that we don't hit people). He did get a "time out" as a result: he had to clean up the toy area. Much more to my liking than sitting facing the wall.
And then we had a further discussion about repercussions at home if he is hitting people at school. Don't want you to think I'm lax on discipline or anything.

Yipee! For a good day at school. (minus the hitting) I hope the mean man teacher is history and will be a thing of the past. Learning is a good thing.
blessings,

Glad he had a good day. And I L-O-V-E the idea of time out being work related. I'll have to use that here at home!!

Woo hoo -- a GOOD day! :-)
No wonder Ashley has an "aura" about her when she ends her frickin message with "blessings" like she's all sweet or somethin!

OK, about Finn - great news and I'm so glad to hear it.
Yay for a good day at school (minus the hitting, but hey, loud noise can get annoying)! Hopefully the memories of his old class will soon be a thing of the past.
Yay for a good report at school, and no fights on Sunday night. So maybe he wasn't the perfect student - you gotta take what you can get! Sounds like it's a good start. :-)
