Tyler Got Into Trouble

I can't believe it...not even one week of school went by and Tyler got a note yesterday that was sent home from the school saying he was in trouble.  The note said that Tyler and another student were wrestling and a teacher had to pull them apart.  Because of this Tyler and the other student loss all recesses for today.
Tony and I asked Tyler about it and he said that they were just play wrestling and he didn't know that was against the rules.  I did email his teacher for more details and she said it happened during the "walking recess," where they were suppose to be walking (not playing - it's so lame) and another teacher found them and wasn't sure if they were just playing or not.
I told her that I thought it was pretty harsh to send home a note and make the kids loose recess over something that just happened once...she didn't respond to that.  It seemed super extreme for these poor little first graders the first week of school...but what do I know?
Not going to recess today didn't seem to traumatize Tyler and he now knows not to play fight or wrestle at school.  He does seem to like school and he likes his teacher.  So I am happy that he is happy.  Next week preschool starts for Josh two days a week...so excited.
