I will bring up discipline poicy for the next school year. We do all the transition stuff, the kid-directed activities. We have a 'teacher' job, that child gets to be 'teacher' for an acivity. We had mental health give us ideas, they tell us many of the kids are severely defiant, and others are unable to keep hands off friends and stuff. But the mental health pros say the kids need to be in a group of less than three kids.! Anymore than that they just go crazy. Today, one child found a used pop bottle on the playground we missed, she drank the stuff in it! We tossed it in the trash can near the door, discussed the dangers, how it made me scared, etc, then lined up the kids. I went to retrieve the bottle, it was gone. She had it again. Five yrs old! This time she wasn't giving up the bottle without a struggle. And while this was going on, another preK was hitting anyone near him, one ran off cause he was bored, another stuck his finger in the window and found the one gap in the frame to get his finger stuck in (911).... all I can say is May 23. (and the parents, just one disciplined their kid. a couple of others stopped by a pop/candy machine and got some stuff cause the teachers were mean today) watch out world, this is the future generation!
