Chaos.
There's no other word for it.
Short of a food fight (but, admittedly, not by much), some of our fourth grade boys could not sit still and keep their hands to themselves today.
Lunchtime should not be stressful. Kids should have fun, but not on the brink of such craziness.
Honestly, I am not above assigning lunch seats. Heck, that might be good for them.
Too much?
Well, I'm thinking on it...
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
maybe you could at least assign tables-
ReplyDeletegive them another chance but let them know you will assign the seats if they act out like that again...
