Proud Mama & Daddy

We got our first "note home" about Chali a couple of days ago! I was checking Chali's backpack Wednesday night and found a little blue note from her afterschool care teacher Miss Denise. The note said "Chali was talking back today and not listening. Especially during the tornado drill when we were suppose to listen to the instructions." We asked her what this was about and she started crying. We told her she was not in trouble we just wanted to talk about it. Well, through many devastating cries she told us that she was not the one talking during the tornado drill. She was extremely upset and said that the teacher was lying about her. However, she kind of owned up to the talking back, even though she couldn't remember what she had said. So we explained to her that we would call Miss Denise to ask her about the not listening part because we didn't want anybody lying about our little girl. I called the teacher yesterday and left her a message to see what had happened and see if we needed to take any other action with Chali, since she was having a hard time remembering. She called me this morning and explained that she sent several notes home that day. For some reason all the kids seemed quite rowdy. During lunch Chali and another boy were talking and not listening when they were suppose to, then the little boy started saying inappropriate things and Chali was feeding off of it. So Miss Denise moved them to different tables, and when they were suppose to be moving Chali just stood there and said, (you can imagine the sass) "Well WHERE am I suppose to go?" Denise said she was shocked because she had never had any problems from Chali, especially.

BUT, you will be proud to know that first thing yesterday when she got to afterschool, Chali pulled Miss Denise aside as soon as she walked in the door and said, "Miss Denise, I need to talk to you." And she apologized to her for the way that she acted...all on her own! Proud Mama & Daddy!
