Need some prayer...

Kindergarten has not started out to be the great thing we had hoped for. Grant is have a real hard time adjusting and things that I was told about it is not the way it is. He got the one teacher I did not want him to have. She has not made a real attempt to connect with me and work to make sure Grant knows what is going on around him. I have been so frustrated and so has Grant. He has been getting in trouble, yelling in class, wrestling in the bathroom, pinching, kicking, biting, hitting and he has never done these things before at least at school, when he was at Head Start. Yes, I will admit Grant is a very active little boy who is very independent in a lot of things but his in not usually a problem child. He had only two yellow light days all last semester and never got a red light. So far in the past 2 1/2 weeks he has had a conduct cut, 2 red lights and 2 yellow lights. Something is going on, I think Grant is having a lot of frustration at school and not getting the help that he needs to be able to understand and do well and cooperate with the teacher. I don't have time to spill all the details but I ask that if you are reading this that you would please pray for us as a family and Grant while he is at school. We are in the process of changing schools and hopefully the change will happen next week. The move offers smaller class size and a larger classroom and the assistant goes with the class to activities (gym, music, art). Friday will be Grant's last day until he is able to start at his new school.
Well, I'll post again when I have de-stressed a little and have some pictures to share :o)....they are still on the camera of course...

That has to be so hard for you all. It's hard enough letting your bay go to school but when you know they aren't happy, it must be very difficult. It's good you are being proactive about it. I will pray for you all.
