Yesterday, a certain student (who has a major problem with keeping his hands to himself and not touching his friends inappropriately) came up with his OWN punishment of having a 5-minute time out when this act occurs.
He tried to argue his way out of it when it happened today, but after about 5 minutes of battling/resetting the timer to 5 minute every time he asked me "But WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...", I got a silent 5 minute time out from him, followed by a quick discussion so he could get to the computer lab with the rest of my class.
I was Specially Educated today because being consistent has its moments that actually pay off :)
Small success.
Today was MEAP testing. Frustrating. Ugh.
The great thing is . . . all these lessons that you are learning apply directly to parenthood :)
ReplyDeleteSo true :) My kids will either love or hate the fact that I will be REALLY good at managing behavior!!!
