      @teachingexceptionalkinders Місяць тому

      It's all in how you present it. 5-year olds definitely don't have a long attention span, but with active modeling and demonstrating you can definitely set expectations for your calm corner. Visuals help, too!

    Agreed! Most instances you let it go, new day. You weren’t there. Just had a teammate asking me if she should address this and I said no, start the day on the positive and fresh and happy to see your class. Subbing is hard and it’s always different when the teachers gone. I always leave suckers for sub to hand out to kiddos and stickers.

    • @teachingexceptionalkinders

    I was moved to kindergarten this year from from another grade level.I have a student that I have had for 5 months that hits, kicks, rips at my clothes, spits and bites me. He was coming at me repeatedly to attack me. His behavior has gotten somewhat better, and this only happens a few times a day and it’s less violent, but it has made me very sad and I feel like I have lost myself. I’m not enjoying teaching. Is this normal for me to feel this way?

    • @teachingexceptionalkinders
      @teachingexceptionalkinders 8 місяців тому

      I'm so sorry to hear you're dealing with this. Unfortunately, in my experience this is all too "normal". I wish it weren't the norm, but all too often teachers (myself included) are dealing with major behavior disruptions. Hopefully you are able to get admin to help you to get your student the support he needs, soon.

    I find going over the routine for getting ready for lunch in detail is so helpful. Bathroom, wash hands, get lunch box or whatever your routine would be. This also becomes the bathroom/wash hands routine for any time students use the bathroom during the day. Once the school year gets rolling, I want to be able to tell students to get ready for lunch and then keep on teaching with minimal disruption. They get it done and get right back to work or group, etc.

  • @suzannecloud8859
    @suzannecloud8859 Рік тому

    This is great! Does the token chart start over each day? Meaning if they only got 3 out of five starts a day- do they carry over or do you start fresh the following school day?

    • @teachingexceptionalkinders
      @teachingexceptionalkinders Рік тому

      Absolutely - start fresh each day. Every day is a new opportunity :) Sometimes carrying over the 3 stars from the day before brings back negative feelings that they "failed" the day before. Starting fresh with a clean slate sends the signal that each day is a new chance to have a great day.

    • @teachingexceptionalkinders
      @teachingexceptionalkinders Рік тому

      Yes, I would keep 2 separate charts, one for AM and one for PM. That way each class was working towards their own reward.

    • @teachingexceptionalkinders
      @teachingexceptionalkinders Рік тому

      Hi Kelly - The timing is totally up to you and how long you think your students will need for their break. I had a set of sand timers with 1, 3, and 5 minutes. Usually, I put the 3 minute timer in there because in half day kindergarten, we didn't have a lot of time to spend in Hawaii.

    This is great! Thank you! I'm curious as to whether or not you TELL kids to go to Hawaii or if it's just a spot where they self-identify the need to go there? I could potentially see saying something like, "Oh, you seem tired/frustrated/disappointed... now might be a good time for you to spend some time in Hawaii!" If the student refuses, then you move on... it's not a punishment, it's not a consequence... it's a tool. Then maybe coming back to it with the student who refuses... having a quiet conversation with them about why you suggested it? Maybe? I so appreciate your work Amy!

    • @teachingexceptionalkinders
      @teachingexceptionalkinders 2 роки тому

      As long as you're not sending them to Hawaii as a punishment, I don't see any harm in suggesting it. I like to frame things like this, "Your behavior choices (you could be more specific) are showing/telling me that you may be ___(tired, frustrated, etc.), maybe spending time in Hawaii could help?"
