SD

Week of March 9-13

SD was not only unprepared for Latin but he was disruptive and frequently blurting out. I do not see the behavioral improvement discussed by Betsy. On Friday, his worst day, at the end of class I told him that he would need to come back with a new plan because the old one was not working. (Julie)

SD has had rehearsal this week and last week for his play. He has been unprepared in class with homework/studying. He did complete his fraction project though. --Betsy

15 March 09: SD: I met with S on Friday. He indicated that his behavior was going well. We did not discuss his academics. S stated that while his behavior has improved, he didn't believe anything that we have being doing has caused his behavioral change. I asked curiously, "S, what do you think cause the change then?" To which he responded, "I dunno, something just came over me." I hope that has actually come over S. :) S did share his personal sadness and anxiety that his mother left for NC recently. This was poignant and tearful but clearly he was ready to talk about it. We had a very good chat about it. I am hopefull that this level of conversation might continue. How is his behavior? Both encouraging and not so much? SJH

3/16--I have seen Sam's behavior decline Thursday, Friday and today. He had to be sent out of the classroom Thursday for constant disruptions. He was exhausted today and spent time in the nurse's office sleeping. His play is now over. Angie and I went to see it Sunday and he was great. I hope he can get himself back together and prepare for exams this week. Steve, I think it's important for him to continue his meetings with you. --Betsy
