NM

Week of March 9-13:

NM's behavior has to be closely monitored this week. He seems to be out of control if given the slightest amount of freedom. He had periods of very active (constantlymoving around) and talkative times. He continues to be a disruption unless he is right next to me. ---Betsy

15 March 09: NM: His parents need to be carefully informed via email. Please copy me and Shana. Shana and I met with his parents last week. It took some time to scheudle this meeting. They were concerned about not receiving information about removing him from Latin and I accepted fault for not informing them in a timely manner. They were in agreement that the Latin class did not seem to make much sense for N. We focused on his inabiltiy to retain information after seemingly grapsing it. Parents were comforted that N was in Angie's classroom and there was relationship building going on in with Angie. I do not know what is occuring on N's rubric but would be eager to find out. According to Shana they are not bringing them to the morning meeting. (SJH)

24 March 09: NM did not have his rubric today and could not find it. This sometimes is problematic for him and I have noticed that on days he does not have his rubric, he tends to get a bit more squirrely. I think in his own mind, he thinks I won't be recording his behavior since I don't have the rubric! He had a hard time sitting still and being respectful during presentations made in class. Isabel

NM's most successful moments are when he is working one-on one with me (or another adult)...In order for him to make any significant academic progress, he has to have significant interventions. Was he recommended for the Learning Resource Center this past summer? If not, I would strongly recommend this if he is to be successful in 6th grade..I don't think 6th grade has the flexibility we have had this year to provide him with the extra time he needs..He also needs this summer's lit camp (he missed a significant amount of class time while he was pulled out of class this year) EXCEPT I know his behavior won't allow the others in the camp the full benefit... Can we require private tutoring for him this summer? Betsy, what do you think about math?--Angie

4/6 I noticed that NM was put out of art class today. (who wrote this?)

4/6 NM's behavior in the hall was inappropriate. While waiting for me to finish a lesson with another class, NM reportedly "mocked" Ms. Bean when she asked the 5th graders to be quiet in the hall. Several students reported this mocking and Betsy heard it as well.--Angie
