Possible root cause: Trouble with organization or unavailable parents

Approach: Take it off the stage and talk to James privately, reassure him that we are getting in contact with his parents to address the situation. Suggest to parents that he might need a take home folder that they can check every week.

Possible Root Cause: Jessica might not have slept well, or at all, the night before, or something might be going on at home that has her stressed or feeling like she can't sleep.

Approach: I would definitely take this off the stage and talk one-on-one with Jessica first. I would tell her that I noticed she was sleeping and ask if she wants to share why she is feeling tired or sleeping during class. After talking with Jessica, we could plan some next-steps and brainstorm how we can make sure she's getting enough sleep prior to coming to school.

Possible Root Cause:
- Billy does not have a pencil of his own.
- Erica and Billy may have had other negative interactions that would cause Erica to have physical reaction.

Approach:
Be sure that students are no longer in a physical altercation and separate their seats. Give both students writing utensils and let them know they will have to wait after class to discuss what just happened. After class listen to both students side of the story first.  Then go through steps of action that Billy can take when he does not have a pencil (aka: ask to borrow from a friend, or myself). Then go through steps with Erica that she can take in order to not put hands on others when they do something we do not like. (aka: ask the teacher for assistance).

Possible Root Cause:
- Tim does not have time to eat at home as no one is responsible for him in the morning.
- Tim delayed entering class because he was too busy getting the bacon egg and cheese at the deli.

Approach:
Talk to Tim on the side about what happened to cause him to come late to class. Address the classroom rules with him and inform him that there need to be some changes. Inform him and reteach the no eating in the classroom rule, and offer that he can come to class earlier or eat at another time.

Possible cause: Too many things going on at home that make it impossible for Jessica to have a restful night; or, she goes to bed too late.

Approach: Ask Jessica if she is ok, and at least listening to the instructions, as they are important. Tell her to take a minute to get herself together and join with her attention. Do talk to her after class privately to see what may be happening.

Possible root of cause:
- Billy needed a pencil quickly and didn't have one handy.

Approach:
- Have either student move to another seat so they're not within arms distance of each other. When class is over, pull each student individually to listen to both sides of the story. Billy needs to be spoken to about not snatching or touching other people's belongings whereas Erica needs to be spoken about keeping her hands to herself and to ask for it back rather than shoving others.

Possible root cause: Jessica might not have a great sleeping environment at home which causes her to not sleep well or at all, is stressed about something that causes her to lose sleep, or might live in a noisy neighborhood.

Approach: I would take it off-stage and have a talk with Jessica. I would tell her that I noticed she is tired and sleeping during class. I would ask if she could go to sleep earlier and have her walk around or stand in the classroom to get her to wake up a bit.

Possible root cause: Billy might be jealous that Erica has a new pencil and wants it. Billy might not come from a financial situation at home that allows him to get mechanical pencils. He might not even have a pencil and took Erica's.

Approach: I would have these two students sit in different seats in the class. I would pull both students to the side after the lesson and have a conversation with them, letting them know that what they did is not okay. I would also try to talk to Billy independently to see why he is snatching other people's things. I would also speak to Erica independently and tell her that she has to use her words and not just snatch her things back.

Possible root cause:
Tim might not have time to eat breakfast at home or have anybody at home to make him breakfast. He might have woken up later than he should have and got breakfast on his way to school.
Approach: I would talk to him about why he was late and see if we can come up with the next steps so that he will be on time going forward. I will also remind him of the no-eating rule and tell him that he can come earlier and eat in the class before the day starts.

Possible Root Cause: Jessica may be going through things at home or the people who she is living with may have a lot going on which is causing her to feel stressed or unable to sleep. Maybe she goes to bed late.

Approach: I would have a 1:1 conversation with Jessica and ask her if she is okay. I will also tell her what I have been noticing in the class and ask her to share why has she been sleeping in class. If I am addressing her quickly during class I would tell her to wash her face with cold water and come back to the classroom so she can be awake and focused. I would also let her know at the moment that it is very important that she listens. I will then follow up with her after class to figure out a solution.

Possible cause: Tim may have circumstances at home that forced him to wake up late, or didn't allow him to eat breakfast.

Approach: Speak with Tim and tell him it's important to eat before he begins his school day and I want him to feel prepared to learn. However, he should try to avoid this becoming an every day occurrence. He should eat and we should come up with solutions to making sure he comes in prepared to learn.

Possible Root Cause:
Tim doesn't have enough time to eat breakfast in the mornings before he gets to school.
Approach: I would ask Tim to finish the sandwich either outside of the classroom or in the back of the room so his eating does not distract the other students. Then I would ask him 1:1 during independent work time why he was eating in class. If the answer is home/family related I would give him 5 minutes to eat at the beginning of class before he steps into the room.

Possible Root Cause:
Jessica may be feeling sick, may have a fever or some other illness.
Or
The environment at home may make it difficult for Jessica to get a good night's rest. Shared room, etc.
Jessica may be going through something stressful and is struggling with getting enough sleep (anxiety keeping her up, etc.). She also may be hungry.

Approach: I would take it off stage- while the rest of the class is busy (turning and talking or working on something), I would gently wake her and ask is she is okay. I would do some information finding by asking her is she was able to get enough sleep, had breakfast, etc.
I would ask her what she needs to ensure that she can stay awake in class in the moment (a walk in the hallway, water, something to eat).
I would then go over a plan with her to ensure that she gets the directions she needs if she had missed anything- partner her up with student.
