Since it has been awhile that I have posted I knew you were waiting for me to give a little update about what has been going on in the Shields Family Household.
1st I will say I want to MOVE Move from my old home to a new place. preferable in the Bryant, Benton area. alright done.
Ivory - she hates her teacher and wants to go back to CDC PRE-K. I don't blame her things were so different then. Ivory didn't have many worries back then. but now she actually has to sit in a chair, wait her turn to speak, and plus she feels like her teacher hates her. the teacher is OLD and Ivory will just have to understand that she's not the boss of everything. I have told her that she needs to listen to her teacher and be respectful of her wishes in the classroom. and I also told her that there is no changing teacher just because she doesn't like them. tough. we have gone 4 days now with her not pulling an apple from her classroom. BIG for her she's been pulling 3-4 a day. tried for a phone conferance with her teacher for parent teacher conferences, and the teacher called me back requesting that I speak to her in person. that's Friday(can't wait for that). Right now I have this saying I say to Ivory before she gets out of my van.. 1. Zip it 2. always listen to your teacher, and be nice to Mrs. Davidson. I am not sure if that's what has been working or grounding her from watching TV everytime she comes home from school and had to pull an apple. either way we'll get this resolved.
Cory - Still have the problems with Spelling but things are getting better. he has been in football since school has started and he seems to like it and actually care about it. he cried one day after the game cause he didn't get to play at all. and I told him he should talk with the coach. that made him look better to the coach as he was a kid that really wanted to be on the team, and play. since that the coach has really been working with Cory and making him feel more comfortable with getting hit and his fear of that seems to be going away. We have also been trying different technics with him at home on spelling and this latest one I think he likes. Thanks Nancy H. Testing him verbally and making him write it down and then grading it. he really seems to like. I just hope it reflects on his spelling test.
Mike - My husband is really trying to get me to come alot this year during hunting season. I have always stayed home with Ivory and let the boys do their thing, but he's been really asking me to come this year, and Ivory really wants to go hunting with Daddy. So I thought that during Youth Hunt Weekend I would give this thing a try luckily there is no sleeping in a tent we'll be in a camper. I may even have pictures of this event.
Peace, Love and Happiness
