In Guatemala there is saying for Poco a Poco, it means little by little....step by step...and I am happy to report that at the current moment with incentives in place Ashton is improving in his behavior both at home and school. Last week his school called us in to follow up on the incident Ashton had had a few weeks ago threatening to bring a gun to school and shoot a student. The meeting was much different that I anticipated. They basically told us that Ashton's behaviors where getting in the way of his learning and wanted to brainstorm how we help make him more successful. So this week he started a new incentive program at school and he seems to be rising to the challenge.
We also received his report card and had his parent teacher conference with his teacher Ms. Porter. Even though he is frequently off task, amazingly he isn't too far behind. His teacher reports that when he wants to he can read a level B book and can write using sound/letter correspondence. She also says he is a leader and enjoys socializing with his peers! He loves working with others!
Praying we can channel his gifts! :)
He has also been the little love bug lately...telling both daddy and me that he loves us! Sometimes I just wish I could bottle up his 5 year old self!
