Today was like any other Tuesday... Did a bit more teaching than normal with my overhead projector... burns my eyes:( (That is the extend of the technology in my classroom.) But my kids are slowly getting better at following along and coping down their little bits of work. Some have real trouble paying attention though. Even when it's quiet...
I love teaching Grade 1. As many struggles as there are in teaching this grade there are also many joys. Today while I was standing giving them instructions about something one of my little people randomly came up and hugged me. And then a few more came up and hugged me. They are so stink'n cute. Then later one of my other little fellows radomly told me " If you need a massage Ms.J I'm your guy." Then he cam over and gave me a 3 second massage while I was working with another student and then as he was walking back to his desk he listed off what kind of massages he does. " Feet, Head, Back, Shoulders" ha I said your mom must love you. "Yeah" he says hahahaha oh Grade 1... he's full of little sayings like " time flies when you're having fun!" he told me today...
Anyone have any tips on how to keep a child on task who isn't labeled autistic but is constantly playing with his pencils instead of working and makes noises, scared of any sudden or loud noises and gets frustrated really easily. I had a speech clinician come into my room to observe today and she told me she might give me some suggestions so I wont have to constantly be reminding him to stay on task. he's a very bright little guy. can read already with expression. I've heard him reading to himself the Elephant & Piggie books by Mo Willems. Thanks!
Goodnight all:) A very chipper Wednesday to you all tomorrow:)
