I got a message back from Zoë's teacher this morning.
It seems she did miss snack, but because she said she didn't like it. So, the teacher said she could get a drink of water, but didn't have to eat the snack. That's absolutely reasonable. And, yes, obviously the five-year-old translation was lacking some information.
So far as the time out: Zoë was playing with other girls in the toy kitchen area and there was a disagreement. After it was sorted out, Zoë piped up her bossy attitude and "spoke to the girls in a harsher tone". That sounds exactly like my oldest, bossy, I-am-the-mother child. For that she was told to go sit at her desk until she could talk better with the others. She sat there for two minutes and then apologized to the girls.
It sounds like she's learning, adjusting, and still doing really well overall. The teacher said:
Overall, Zoe is doing a great job in class! Nothing to worry about and she accepted the redirection very well. She is making friends and is kind to her other classmates.
So, everything is good. Whew!

You gotta love the 5yr old interps right?! I am glad you are listening to her!!
She sounds like she is doing great!
Nadine! Welcome to how to interpret your kids 101. It stinks I know and I had my fair share of talking with teachers in preschool. So I am on the train with you. Zoe is a fabulous kiddo. and the "I am the big sister" role will come in handy some day. Keep your chin up and all will be fantastic.
Zoe is an awesome kid. Nothing to worry about.
I kind of figured. Most teachers--especially in good schools are reasonable. Very funny to get the rest of the story.
