Since T know that this assignment is important, I'm going to make something up. This week T worked on a behavior plan for a student in the color guard intramural. She. needed this behavior sheet because she enjoys sprinting across the room holding up her flag, and hitting other color guard members with her flag. Both of these behaviors are unsafe and unexpected. This week T learned that using a peanut ball as an incentive is a solid idea. My little color guard girl's behavior improved 110% because of this point sheet. The best part of my week was helping a little girl work with clay in art. Something I need to work on is effectively coming up with ways to alter behavior.week 6 + ‘Somartna Ermeste poste Feo 29,2016 10274 aM. Subscribed This week was absolutely amazingl!

The substitute teacher who was here in place for a TA instigated about high school.

Subscribed This week was a bit less eventful, however the friendship between the love birds in my class has evolved in to a relationship. This litle love fest has been positive thus far. The boy who refused to walk into class and/or behave is now back to almost normal. He now gets distracted by her and if she is doing any sort of labor at all such as cleaning a mess or wiping off her dry erase board he is there to her rescue and does it for her even when he has work to finish. Another problem that has uprised is another 7th grade girl in class is jealous and is now on the hunt for @ “man.” because of this she has played around in the hall on the way to the busses making her and another boy almost miss the bus twice this week. On Thursday a student was sick and it was a drag on the whole day because he brings so much energy to the class. on Tuesday the girl | aid in art cussed the art intern out so that ‘was interesting, other than that we just had alot of subs for teacher assistants.
