No C.D.'s

I spent a day last week with some 3rd and 4th grade little darlings. There were the usual interruptions, students getting off task, and kids trying to get away with stuff. But it was a nice enough class. You forget how normal things can go when you have a classroom like that. The whole day just goes more smoothly when a "Constant Disruptor" or two. At the end of the day you emerge with your sanity and some energy, and without your eyes in a crossed condition.


Constant Disruptors are like little hurricanes in the classroom. They are constantly off task, frequently doing what they aren't supposed to be doing, and often taking your attention away from teaching. Not only do they tend not to get their work done, their swirling winds distract others who get sucked into the storm. The little hurricane is confined and has an effect on everyone and everything in the room. Unless you can control a CD or remove him/her your day is going to blow!
