One of my most hyper and difficult to manage kids has been coming to 8th period social club for a bit and working really hard to get his grade up. He stayed after everyone else left to get in some one on one conference time. I asked him what is going on with his constant talking and disruption. He told me that by 7th period it is just impossible to stay still.

Me being me…

I told him that from now on if he is good for most of class I will give him Play Doh and let him play for the last 10 minutes of class. ANYTHING to lower the number of disruptions in my class is worth it.

He left vibrating with excitement and he said he is totally going to do it. 🙂
