Other days, he is upset and throws his backpack or slams his chair into the table. My cooperating teacher and I do what we can to prevent agitation when he comes in, but some days there's just no preventing an outburst... Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would speak with the student privately about what is causing him to be tardy and upset. I would work on some exercises with him that could help him calm down before entering the classroom. I would also tell him that instead of getting angry and trowing his bags down, he can tell me he needs a cool down period and I will let him calm down or speak with me when he comes into class.
