Social Skills
Brock and I are in a fun 4th grade class, the CT Mr. Jackson is a pretty cool guy layed back and has us jump right in there helping the students. The principal said to Brock and i before dropping us off to the classroom that we are in a very challenging 4th grade class. When i got in there i could see what she was talking about, because the potential for some major chaos is there, however Mr. Jackson has very good control of the class, he approaches the class with a lot of kindness in a stern kind of way. Yesterday he did have to suspend a kid for pushing. The kid likes to push a lot and randomly chooses the students he decides to push. Some social skills are needed for some of the students.

Justin,
I'm glad that you are in this setting - I think a couple of my students last semester were in there and enjoyed their experiences. How would you go about teaching social skills to this student?
Justin,
I, too, think social skills are important. I'm big on manners and think that it's extremely important to model and enforce them. My CT agrees with my philosophy which is a nice match.
