Thanks for the tip!
I am having Rebekah and Peyton do it and will also have Rachel do it with my help.10 more min and I am down to 5 days!!!6 days left!!
I really like the teacher's idea of having Peyton write a report while he was gone. That will be great to keep and look back on when he gets older.
I can't wait to read your report when you get back!
The bday party is for DH so it will be pretty calm.All I have to do is make a cake(and pack,clean house,babysit a two year old for most of tomorrow,etc
).
Now this is a friend of DH's and one of my favorite teachers at the school but Rebekah said she went on and on about attendance,missed work and even said she hopes she stays healthy so she doesn't miss any more school.I don't know if it was her tone of voice or what she said but Rebekah was in tears.
She feels really guilty now about going.I talked to her about it and told her not to worry that everything will work out but the damage has been done.
I will go to the school before classes start on Monday to talk with her.
Feeling a little overwhelmed.Oh and Peyton's Dr. decided to change his meds starting tomorrow.
Don't know how he will react so I may be dealing with that.
Before her tryout was even over she had coaches coming to us asking if they could freeze her before the draft. She was beaming from ear to ear and talked nonstop all evening about it. I was able to pick coaches that I felt good about.I guess she has learned something by going to all the baseball tournaments the last three years. Sorry to ramble but she has such a bad body image it was good for her to see that being tall and strong can work for you . Good night!
We are one of the families that have a hard time vacationing in the summer.My dad works during the summer,my boys traveled in the summer,and its CHEAPER in September.great shots of the kids... and Yay Rebekah!!!
I am totally appalled by both teacher's reactions.... I talked to 2 of Forest's teachers on back to school night and neither one gave me any issues... they were very polite and sweet about it.... not like how their teachers have been...
Sometimes families can't vacation during the summer.... at least we are doing something to let your kids be kids and together as a family
I am not too worried about her reaction.
That is awful about your neice.Hey!
My nieces teacher is giving my sister a bunch of crap about missing school too....we are going during ISTEp testing so I guess it is not good timing for the teachers but I had no idea and I refuse to rescheduale so my neice may not be able to afterall. SCHOOLS SUCK!!
So cool that Rebekah is into softball! I am having those issues with Heath right now, he cant find a sport thats right for him,....we are trying flag football next month-maybe thats his calling*keeping fingers crossed*
My boys loved flag football. We have tried EVERYTHING with Rebekah from horesback riding to gymnastics.HI!!Yeah I don't understand why she is being this way.She was great about Peyton going last year.Maybe she just wanted a break from him.
I agree about making her feel guilty.Its not like she made the decision on the time to go.
Yep I was proud. She played upward soccer last spring and had fun but just ran around grinning.Nver really "played".
and having had many students head to WDW during the school year I must say I have never been mad or anything less than thrilled that my students had the opportunity to go! I wish they would take me with them. I know schools are getting tougher on attendance, but come on- a trip with family is very important in my book!
Hi Kathy!I will talk to her Monday morning and will let her know how Rebekah felt after talking to her.I am hoping this is just a big misunderstanding.Sorry your DD was made to feel so bad!
When you speak to her teacher, perhaps you could let her know that it would have been more appropriate for her to communicate any misgivings she had about the situation to YOU and not to the EIGHT YEAR-OLD!
Kathy
I bet you are a wonderful teacher.Being a
The thing is last year she was great about Peyton going and even asked for us to get her a specific souvenir. I stayed away from testing days too.
Yes ,I wish any misgivings she has would have originally been directed to me.We will see what she has to say Monday morning.Welcome Back, Janet!!!Was it absolutely marvelous??! When are you starting your trip report??I need pics!
That's awful that your dd's teacher reacted that way!
I know how it feels though...my dd goes to a Montessori pre-school and periodically the teachers send home little articles and stuff for the parents to read. Well, right at the end of last year we got a photocopied article that had a picture of Mickey Mouse on it with a big line through it and the article went on to explain all the reasons why fantasy characters are so bad for children and blah,blah,blah.
I love my daughter's school and believe in their philosophy but this was just too extreme of a position for me.
I haven't told them yet that we're taking her out of school for a week because we're going to WDW yet but they'll get over it
I don't even know what to say about that one. I would love to hear their reaction. DITTO!!
I will actually bring back some of it but I don't have to pay for gas. 
to your D-Hubby!!
if she made your DD feel guilty about the trip.
