Huh?

The kids are speaking a new language and I am still in the interpreting phase.  Our conversation on the way home from school:

Mom: What was your favorite thing about school today?
Allison: I got a Berry Buck for Line Basics.
Jacob: I didn't get any Berry Bucks, but I mostly kept my hands in my space and our class earned two Compliments.
Allison: Also, I did three laps on the Bobcat Track for Fit In 15.

Granted, I think there was a parent meeting last week for this program they've implemented at the school that would have provided some background, but I totally blew that off.  I think we had 4 other things going on that night and it was low on the priority list.  So, we'll just have to figure it out, which is challenging because the kids are not good conveyors of information.

Me: What's a Compliment?
Jacob: Something you get for walking in line.
Me: I thought that was Line Basics.
Jacob: No, silly.
Me: Allison, does your class get Compliments?
Allison: No, our class doesn't do Compliments.
