"These two days I've been hanging out with Karen. I have learned that she is a really nice girl to play with. Plus, we have a lot in common. For example, we both like the same T.V shows and channels!"
"I got to know the kids in our class more faster. I think I'll get more better at social skills in this school!"
From Lisa: We wrote our rules: Be Respectful of Yourself, the Environment, others
We discussed Rules and Logical Consequences
Students named the time-out area - The Relaxation Station and stocked it with crayons, drawing paper, lined paper, pencils, stress balls, and a poster of feelings
So why does it feel like they still don't get the rules and I'm still trying not to say unresponsive things? Guess it takes more than two weeks...hence the title, The First Six Weeks.
