Case: Student needing constant attention
I have a student who continues to act as the class clown. He needs constant attention everyday. I have tried to approach it as "noticing" him and laughing but then asking him to control it. I have approached it in the punishment area. However, nothing is working. He did inform me of things happening at home and told me how his mom doesn't get home until midnight every night. I think this is where a lot of it comes from. He is a very bright students and sweet person. What else could I do to have him control this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I also have a student very much like this. He is very bright and sweet but he is constantly talking and disrupting the class. I have taken away recess, spoke with mom and dad, moved his seat, and much more. The first thing I found that works is giving him sticky notes. He constantly wants to share a story, something funny, or anything else that has nothing to do with what I am teaching. Allowing him to write those thoughts down and then put them on my desk has stopped some of the blurting out. If he is super good, I will let him share one with the class during bus duty. Another thing that has worked is letting him "be the teacher." For example, we are learning about the phases of matter. I let him read one of the books I was going to read to the class. Then, after he read it a few times and I helped him with some tricky words, I allowed him to read it to the class. He had something to work for and still got the attention he craved. |
