I observed how my kids at work respond to the authority that they have known longer. 
I've also learned that most kids have to have a consequence (such as time out) to prevent themselves from repeating the behavior they exhibit. ]]> 2021-08-31 02:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/megburgess19/k99gh5s2oddbbsh8/wish/1705951524 megburgess19 https://padlet.com/megburgess19/k99gh5s2oddbbsh8/wish/1705985276 In the same context, getting to observe elementary aged kids at work shows me a lot about how they learn. 
They learn better when they are being spoken to in a constructive, kind way.

The setting in which I know my students is very unique. I only see them for a few hours each day, and I help them with homework while also playing with them. ]]> 2021-08-31 02:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/megburgess19/k99gh5s2oddbbsh8/wish/1706014235 megburgess19 https://padlet.com/megburgess19/k99gh5s2oddbbsh8/wish/1706028131 Keeping my kids on a set schedule improves our time together each day. 
For example, they know that when they arrive, they should get their homework out and begin working on it. They know the structure, and it keeps them on task. ]]> 2021-08-31 03:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/megburgess19/k99gh5s2oddbbsh8/wish/1706028131
