This friend was somewhere else even when he was at school. He had mastered the check out / tune out strategy and it was my job to get him back to the planet and most importantly to the classroom so that he could soak up some instruction and gain some skills. I had to tell him the expectations and also follow that with the "why". The "why" part is as important as the expectation part. Giving reason helps kids connect and relate to why they need to follow procedures. Read on if you have a friend who needs to get with the program. Enjoy!
I am in 6th grade this year.
My teachers have important things to teach to me.
One thing is to look and listen to my teachers when they have something to say. If I don’t look and listen, I will miss what they are trying to teach me.
I also need to think about what they are saying. When I think about it, it will lock into my brain.
I need to keep my words and noises inside my mouth
so that it doesn’t disturb others in the class.
My body should be still and my head should never be on my desk.
If I do these things when my teachers are teaching, I will learn a lot.
I will be BRILLANT!
