K.J.'s First School Picture

We got school pictures this week! I have to say that this little boy is SO handsome! He is growing up so quickly right before my eyes.

K.J. absolutely LOVES Kindergarten and his teacher, Mrs. Peoples. He is learning so much. He loves to... write his letters and numbers, read signs everywhere we go, ask a million questions about everything, write his name (he can write them all...KJ, Kenny and even Kenneth). This week his class started homework every night (except Friday's) and a weekly reading program. It is so cool to see him enjoying school and learning...I LOVE IT!

His behavior at school has improved greatly, I can't even remember the last time he had a red light. If he gets a green light today, he will have his 1st week of all green! He is really excited about this and the reward he will receive. As many of you know, we took away all of his toys, and I mean EVERYTHING due to his behavior when school started. At first, we were giving him a toy for every green light. However, he kept getting red lights and we would have to take away everything he had earned back. It was turning into a lot of work and was really frustrating. Finally we decided, no toys until a whole week of green lights, then he can earn a weeks worth of toys. It has probably been a month now (because some yellow lights pop in every once in awhile) and he is ready to get some toys back. This morning before school he told me that he can't wait to get his green light and some toys!

I will let you know if he succeeds in his goal! Oh...the next thing he would like to earn at school is the "Bubble Award". It is an award given in his class every week to the "student of the week". He talks about it and his face just lights up, I am really pullin' for him to acheive this too! :)
