Day 27

The child came in well this morning. Seemed to be a little frazzled but very okay. He was able to complete all his work by 1:30. He did go over to one of the Aide's desk and work with her and two other students (one in his designated classroom) on Math. He has missed quite a bit of instruction but picked all the information up quickly. He did sit with them and when he started getting flustered (another teacher noticed) he quickly slowed down the situation and the child quickly got right back on task.
A child yesterday had told me of a situation with her family. I know she has a rough homelife, but yesterday was worse. She was worried about her parents arguing and their power being shut off. I asked her what she would like to do in her spare time, one thing was to color. I went home and printed off things I knew she liked and today I was able to give her a few. I tried to talk to her about how when they are arguing that this could be something she does to stay away and keep calm and keep her mind off it. I am hoping it helps....
I was able to do a lot with the teachers in the new implementation of recording... hopefully this will be kicking off tomorrow!!!
