I missed out on your first post so pleas...Hi Sarah,<br />I missed out on your first post so please excuse me if you've already done some of the things I've suggested. It sure sounds like your little guy has something else going on other than just being immature. Have you brought him up for student study team? Also, the idea of a behavior plan is wonderful, since the one you are using doesn't work any more, maybe it's time to try a different one. Ask your colleagues if they have suggestions. As for getting out of his seat, the picture cards often work- I have ones that have a child with hand raised, sitting nicely, working etc. I just hold it up as needed. The nice thing is that all of my kids respond to it. As a last resort.. I did have a year where we used colored tape on the floor around a little boy's desk to show boundaries for space. He needed that visual, he also had tape around his rug area. Of course, just like contracts, I had explained to him privately how it was a tool to help him be a better learner.<br />Anyway, I hope some of these suggestions work. Good luck. You sound like an awesome teacher. <br />PS: You need to ask your administrator for a translator- Mom might be experiencing the same things at home and might need help.<br />heyjbales@sbcglobal.netjbaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308218322929656612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547878351993029155.post-62950742273323450482013-01-13T00:09:20.566-10:002013-01-13T00:09:20.566-10:00I've had sets of prompt cards before which I c...I've had sets of prompt cards before which I carried on a neck chain. They included pics and things like no shouting out and sitting on seat. They can help with being a quick first reminder to him so if you we're on the floor and he starts to shout out just show him the card. Like that you are not entering a conversation or anything but gives him a quick reminder of what is expected of him. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07655606318490015400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547878351993029155.post-2691624385988352262013-01-12T06:41:01.338-10:002013-01-12T06:41:01.338-10:00I have been in your shoes.
