Today I started a behavior log (document, document, document). I see it basically becoming a slight rant book. And I will leave it at school. Conference with the principal and counselor...blah blah, processing problem...blah, blah, power struggle (I knew that). I need to not let him frustrate me, I know that. He was causing a massive distraction, and the whole class was telling him to stop, and he refused, and he refused to give me the offending pencils...blah, blah, blah. I really do not like to complain without a suggestion to fix something. And for this boy I'm tapped. Everyone else I can work with..........
1. Bouncing back emails with my best college roommate during the day was a wonderful distraction. His writing/thought/language has not changed much. Not being in the mood for interpretation during school it seemed rather cryptic, especially that last one. But he always kept me thinking, and for that I will be forever thankful.
2. I had another student post one full grade level gains in reading today. Class average of the 8 students I've reassesed is .93 grade levels in one semester. go me!
3. My kids were flying through fractions again today like they really got it. They were all able to identify 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 and shade in the appropriate sections in a shape. This is the only time they have all gotten math at the same time so far this year.
bed before midnight, which is a milestone in its own right. I will not let any child win, and I will not let him control me and my reaction, and every child in my class will learn.
