I love first grade

Maybe I just love Tyler's first grade teacher.  I couldn't be more pleased with 1st grade so far this year.  Why?

1. Tyler loves school
2. Tyler comes home happy
3. He says everything about school is great
4. He says he's the best listener in class (as long as he things so, I'm going along with it)
5. He says Mrs. McLatchy is strict but nice

If the kids misbehave or are not listening, etc they have to stay in from recess.  This in and of itself should keep Tyler's behavior in check.

I can tell from the things Tyler has said that Mrs. McLatchy has really made him feel special and confident in his abilities.  Totally what he needed.
