JC

Week of March 9-13:

JC had most of his homework for me this week. No disruptions. Seemed ok not being able to get online at home or in aftercare. -- Betsy

JC seemed OK in Friday AM mtg. On point. Willing to engage. Respectful engough. I spent a little time with him in aftercare last week. SJH

JC still has moments of defiance and disrespect in my class. Last week, he cried when the class was engaged in an activity on the tablet that he could not be a part of (on the wiki)..I offered an alternative assignment and he became visibly angry. I then asked what he thought he could do as a reasonable alternative to the assignment and after much whining on his part, we decided upon an assignment that he did not complete. JC seems to engage as long as he is doing what he wants to do. - Also, JC needs to be reminded often to taper his talking in class. Angie

Betsy, Rickie Jean and I completed extensive behavioral checklists for JC that are being sent to Dr. Katz. One checklist in particular seemed geared toward oppositional defiance. - Angie

JC has improved in class but was slipped back to his defiant self today. I had collected some classwork and then moved on with instruction. He kept holding his completed classwork up for me to collect but when I asked him to just rest it on his desk so that I could collect it later....he flung it at the air and it landed on the floor. He would not pick it up. At the end of class, after calming down, he picked it up and gave it to me - Isabel WHEN?? -Betsy

March 20: JC performed well on math, science, SS and English exam. He even did well on writing an essay. --Betsy

JC's behavior dipped again beginning on April 1st. Was extremely talkative during the transition into Language Arts/Social Studies (coming from recess)...Said that he didn't have his homework because he didn't have time to write it down the day before...after trying unsuccessfully to get JC back on task I sent him out into the hall..this behavioral pattern continued into the next day..on Friday, April 3 he spent the class period reading a book to which I allowed simply because he was not disturbing the other students nor was he verbally engaged with me in a power struggle. He did manage to participate off and on during that class Friday with his book taking the place of the two previous days' talking out of turn.--Angie
