Planning ahead for off task behavior - 01/29/14 05:50 AM
Kind of a quirky/weird story about kindergartners and organized inattentiveness
2e DS6 puts forth sporadic effort at his private school. Maybe it is winter time, or he is bored or that his 2e issues are not accommodated. I am not really sure but I am taking a break for a while from trying to fix anything. It is a good enough fit.
Anyway, tonight he told me that yesterday he made a graph to help him and his friends stay organized when they aren't doing their work. At first I thought he was trying to keep people on task.
Of course not.
He actually took a poll to find out what other kids liked to do when they were supposed to be working. Some people like to look at the floor for sparkly things like loose glitter and then pick it up and save it when they have a chance to move through the room. Same with broken colored pencil tips and old staples. There were some other things too.
Apparently there was some upset if multiple people were looking for the same thing and the graph he made is supposed to straighten it all out with some sort of agreed daily rotation.
Yay for problem solving and making a graph?
Future in organized crime?
Suggest they sweep???
