I really like Zac's teacher. She really does a great job in not only teaching her students to be good students, but also to be good people. She has a rule in her class that when someone gives you something you have 3 seconds to say "thank you" or they get to take it back. She also has them write thank you notes whenever anyone comes into their class to help. They have written thank you notes to me and they also made b-day cards for me on my b-day (since I'm the PTA president) and they made cards for me when Addison was born. Yesterday Zac forgot his homework folder at home. I was gone all day and didn't realize it until school was almost out or I would have taken it to him. Whenever someone in her class misbehaves or forgets their homework or anything she makes them stay in from recess and write a "responsibility". This the the responsibility Zac wrote yesterday. I share it with you because I love it and have decided to come up with "responsibilities" of my own to have my kids write when they misbehave at home. Here it goes:
I am an intelligent and responsible person. I want to be happy and successful in my educational experiences. I realize that certain good habits and behaviors can contribute to my success. I will make more of an effort to take personal responsibility for meeting our class expectations. I wanted you to know that I am trying to make the needed changes and I need your parental support. I need to complete my homework everyday and bring it to class.
I love it!

What a good teacher!
Zac just had to write his first ressponsibility at home last night. When I told him that was his punishment he did a little double take and looked at me like I was a little crazy and said, "I have to write a responsibility at home???"
What did you have him write? I need some ideas? Although Gabe can't write yet. It is torture to him to have to write his name.
