School Days

Titus has been having a wonderful school year so far. We had many ups and downs last year, his first year of school, but this year seems to be going so much better. He started school on August 15th and goes three times a week. Twice he has come home with a brown. Otherwise it's been all smiley faces in his folder. His teacher has an amazing system for the kids behavior. Each child has a little lamb and at the start of each day their lamb is in the green pasture, closest to the Shepherd (God). As they make poor decisions, they move to a pasture further from the Shepherd. I think it's such an awesome visual for young children to learn how bad choices mean we're getting further from God.

An e mail from his teacher on the first day of school-
Titus is raising his hand and participating in all we do! He received super star in PE today because he is following directions so well. He is resting in the tent today as a reward. :)

This is an encouraging e mail from his teacher this week-

Titus is having another amazing day. He came back from P.E. Earning super star AGAIN! I told Titus, "I am so proud of you"! He replied, "And Jesus is too". :) Made my day!

Poor little Quincy misses Titus when he's at school. He sleeps well in the mornings and doesn't wake up until after Titus has already left. This morning I went in to get Quincy and he asked, "Where's Titus." When I told him Titus was at school he said {very slowly and deliberately} "I don't want Titus to be at school. I want Titus to be home."
