The response we get, which is typical of Brianna if we shower her with love and affection is TROUBLE. She refused to write in her planner 3 of the 5 days. I asked her about it on Tuesday and she said "there was no homework so there was nothing to write down." (LIE). Then on Friday I receive this note from Mrs. Clark:
So, not only is she not writing in her planner, she is not bringing her reading homework home to do either. Becky also said that when she brought her pictures to put on the bulletin board, she didn't want to because she wanted to keep them in her picture flip album and so Becky allowed her and even let her go through all the pictures and explain each of them to the class (there were probably like 20-25 pictures) since they weren't going on the board to look at. Then, the next day, Brianna decided she wanted to put them on the board, which Becky didn't allow because she didn't want to take more time out of class. By Friday, Becky had had enough of some of the kids goofing off and not getting their work done so she chose to award those who worked diligently and finished their work with doing some painting. Brianna had a full fledged wailing fit about that because she didn't get her work done. That same day, Brianna chose not to eat the lunch that I had packed, but instead to buy a hot lunch. The other kids told on her because they noticed at lunch time that she was eating hot lunch and they asked her why and she said she forgot her lunch in the van (LIE). When she got in the van, I asked her why she didn't eat her lunch and she said she left her lunch in the van. We all saw her walk out of the school with her lunchbox so she did not leave it in the van. So we confronted her with that lie and she said, "No, I meant I left it in the classroom." Anyway, everything in her lunch was gone except one item so I asked if she at both lunches at lunchtime and she said, "No, I ate it at snack time" and so I said, "so you ate your snack and your lunch at snack time?" "Yes", she says. Later I get a phone call from Becky explaining that Brianna was not allowed to have her snack because she didn't get her work done so another LIE. So I confront Brianna with that lie and say, "so where is your lunch?" "I put it in my desk". What the heck? Why couldn't she have just said that the first time??? Becky said that this is what she has noticed about Brianna, "She is perfectly fine and sweet unless I have to tell her no to something"
Then today, I received another phone call from Becky Clark saying that Shay has been missing her snack for the past 3 days. Today, they found the wrapper in Brianna's desk and crumbs all around her desk. When confronted with it, she said that I had sent her with cheese crackers, which I did not.(LIE)
She had a snack leftover from Friday along with half of her lunch that she hid in her desk because she chose to buy a hot lunch instead of eating the lunch that I packed. I send her a snack every day so I am not sure why she feels the need to steal Shay's snack.
Oh, and upon washing her bed this week, I discovered all of this in her pillow case:
I am at my wit's end. January 11th cannot come fast enough. I am exhausted with this behavior.
