Today was another good day. The transitions are becoming a lot smoother and the kids are learning the procedures fairly quickly. A lot more of the things they are struggling with are coming to the light. So I try to never have favorites but there is always one kid who manages to crave more of my attention than others. The smallest boy in class with the biggest personality chose me instead of I him. He is incredibly great with technology. He connected all of the computers in my room in less than 5 minutes. He has spent the past two days having part of his lunch time with me in my room. I feel there are a lot of underlying reasons for that but I'm glad I have become someone he feels connected to so quickly.
On the other hand....these kids get low key pledged lol. I have never been a believer in sending kids out but exercise surely does the body good when you act out in my class. Two kids found that out today. One for cursing and the other for having his phone out in class. The kids was all like "dang Mr. Stanley don't play". Hopefully that should be the last time but I had to send a message that I mean what I say.
