Red Light, Green Light

On Wednesday, I went to pick Ava up from preschool just like every other M, W, and F. This time however, when her teacher told her to put on her coat so she could take her to her grown up, Ava started bawling. I mean really crying! Her teacher continued to bring her over to me (almost pulling her along). Mrs. Law had to tell me me that Ava had gotten a yellow light! Ava was devastated because she did not want her teacher to tell me about the yellow light. (In the classroom they use a green, yellow, red light for behavior.) Mrs. Law did tell me that she wasn't sure the yellow light was deserved. She had left the classroom to go to the restroom and when she returned, Ava had spilled her water (from snack) onto the boy next to her and the classroom aid gave her a yellow light. I felt terrible that she was SO upset just because she got a warning! She has now fully recovered and hopefully she will be more careful with her water at snack time!
