Lesson Reflection
When student was asked to sit down, he refused and was asked to sit down
at his table so that he would not disturb the rest of the class. He then
proceeded to grab a toy from his backpack and roll the toy loudly on the
ground. He became frustrated when I asked him to put it away and he
refused again, therefore he was told he needed to clip down to yellow (this
meant that he was not making wise choices in the classroom). Student did
not adjust his behavior before the group instruction was completed and spent
time in the principals office so I could not complete the rest of the lesson
guidance.
