Other than the diaries, the teachers will call if there is something they want to be sure about. For example, my daughter’s second name is quite long. She’s more comfortable writing her first name. Tired of writing it out each time, she told her teachers one day that her father had told her ‘to stop writing that long name.’ The teachers told me what Aliyah had said. I just laughed my lungs out and off course told them she just had trouble writing the long name. My daughter also loves swimming but when it is cold, I tell her not to swim because this sometimes sparks our asthma.
