What I've realized is,  sometimes I forget to praise  these students for "small" victories (walking into the classroom, attempting an assignment....) So, I plan to be more consistent with praising these students. 
I also, found it interesting that the article recommended that we should Reduce Privilege access. After defining privileges that the students have- the teacher sets in place a rule system for taking those away.  I sometimes feel like we REWARD our students when they display negative behaviors.

I use brain breaks, like gonoodle  in my classroom when I find my students are beginning to get restless (especially on rain days). I really like the different activities and directions in the packet, and most of them are new to me. I think my students would really enjoy some of the ideas and I could easily tie in some of our curriculum while doing them. l plan to try to do some of the activities to help reengage my students and help them release some of their energy to get focused back on learning when they begin to get antsy!

This is my first experience as the "push-in" teacher rather than the classroom teacher. I wish I had read this article at the beginning of the year. It would have been a help to establish procedures and expectations for all the teachersm and what we wanted the classroom experience to be like. The article discusses the importance of planning together. We have had trouble with this because our common planning time is often interrupted and we really do not get a chance for long-term planning. I would like to have a form or checklist to help facilitate conversations of what both teachers would like the co-teaching experience to be. ]]> 2017-11-20 13:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lcoleman15/7472x6l0vzii/wish/208684760 https://padlet.com/lcoleman15/7472x6l0vzii/wish/208687724
I decided to focus on this article because it has tips and ideas that I can use even though I am not a classroom teacher.  Students need to be properly taught procedures and have clear expectations in all areas of the school. If I expect students to act a certain way when they come into the library, I must model and reinforce those procedures and expectations.

By having a well defined procedure for transitions, it makes that time go more smoothly.  The article also talks about modeling each procedure to students will know the expectation of that time.

One specific piece I took away from the article was that I needed a procedure to get my students attention. Ringing of a bell, give me five, turning off the lights, etc..Something other than what I have been doing. I feel that if there is noise in the classroom and I am having to talk over them to get their attention, I'm defeating the purpose. Finding a quiet way to get their attention could/would provide a quieter transition as well.

Unfortunately its hard to be at the door to great students if I'm still conferencing or resetting for the next class because the one before left late.]]> 2017-11-20 20:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lcoleman15/7472x6l0vzii/wish/208882760 https://padlet.com/lcoleman15/7472x6l0vzii/wish/208883937 I found the Guided Reading Article interesting because I am still working on getting my "RISE" time to fully come together. I like how it talks about focusing in on what the OTHER students, who are not in the small group with the teacher, are doing. These students need tasks that are simple, low maintenance, and easily independent for each student. That way students are actually on task and do not need help figuring out what to do. I also liked that the article gave suggestions as to what kind of centers would be good to utilize during this time. It was nice to know some of my centers are on that list. As long as students are working on differentiated review, that should be a good start for getting students engaged and on task during their center/desk time. ]]> 2017-11-20 20:15:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lcoleman15/7472x6l0vzii/wish/208883937 https://padlet.com/lcoleman15/7472x6l0vzii/wish/208883978  I will focus on making my centers in guided reading relevant. I am focusing on making them low maintenance so that I can switch them as needed. I intend to teach them during small group so that they work independent and be successful. We will review routines & expectations daily.

I try to ask a personal question of at least half of my students everyday or at least every other day. It makes their day and also helps me understand them better! I have to make sure to do it!!!

It's hard to keep their attention when all they want to do is squirm.

I try to start, end, and transition activities quickly.... but it can sometimes be challenging. It is always nice to get another person's perspective on how to keep students on engaged.
