Tuesday

Hi parents,

Today was a very, very difficult day for our class, and we'll be spending lots of time over the rest of the week practicing how to sit on the carpet, how to clean up after work period, and how to show respect to teachers and peers.

I feel like most students seem to think that things like cleaning up, participating in gym, lining up at the door, and joining the class on the carpet are "optional". And unfortunately, when so many students choose to ignore instructions, the rest of the class tends second guess what they heard, and end up not following the instructions either.

I am so sorry for ranting on the blog! But I think that after today, every student in the class could benefit from a quick talk at home...

Anyway, in spite of behaviour issues, we did get some work done today. The students worked on their board games in the morning, we went to the library, and in the afternoon, we had a class discussion about pumpkins. We're going to be doing lots of pumpkin activities this week, so each table now has its own pumpkin in the middle of it.

Have a good night,


Zac
