I learned...that only having 11 children makes for a calm and really nice Friday.
Something great that happened...seeing Shane, Jonathan, and Connor come up with such great words with a slightly challenging set of letters!
Something challenging that happened...Nicki going outside on her own to find Ms. Jackson and really having no clue what was wrong with that.
A question I have...is losing choice time always a way to get a child to understand they really did something wrong?
I wonder...how much learning will actually get done in the last 20 (!) days...

- I am a 23 year old college student from small town NJ transplanted to New York. I love life and seek out moments that make each day unique and special. I am a human "bumblebee" flying through life defying some learning odds! I am now in Boston to get a masters degree in Special Education, and cannot wait to get started.
Our school district will not let the teachers take away choice time, but I think if you have tried other tactics and nothing has worked then go for it. By the time a child goes home, it is really too late for them to be punished. They have forgotten what they have done and as a parent have learned it is too late. The discipline needs to take place at school.
