8:30 am

"During carpet time, Peter was screaming and running around the carpet and I asked him to please get on his letter several times and he continued making noises and being disruptive."

10:20 am

"We were walking in from outside and Peter's nose started running. I told him to come get a tissue, but he began blowing his snot on the ground toward other children's feet. He was asked to stop several times but said he wanted to make them step in it."

12:15 pm

"While sitting at lunch, I looked over and Peter was sitting in the chair with his pants and underwear pulled down. I asked him to fix it and he did. A few minutes later, we were lining up to go to the bathroom. He kept jumping and trying to distract the other children despite requests to stop. I held his hand until he could walk calmly. When we returned to the room, he began sticking out his tongue to a child. I asked him to stop and he stuck his tongue out at me."
