sorry ms jessica

We have been working on different ways for Abby to express her frustration and we recently stpped it up a notch when we found out she had hit her favorite teacher because Abby was mad/frustrated. Apparently she's been balling up at school and also at home.

So first we talked with her about how Ms Jessica must feel after being hit byt Abby. She decided to make her a card and tell her "I'm sorry for hitting you Ms. Jessica. I love you and I care for you." She came up with that apology herself.

Then we started a penny stick at home (although we lost it shortly after making it) but she understand the concept to not need to physically have it. Pretty much she starts the day with 5 pennies on the green side. As the day goes on and if she doesn't express herself in an appropriate manner a penny goes to the red side. If she ends the day with all pennies on green she gets to watch a TV show the next day. We have seen some progress but fingers crossed :)
