If you work with children, I can promise you that

If you work with children, I can promise you that you will come across at least one student that has these difficult behaviors. Not only are they really stressful for the teacher but they impact the student’s life in many ways. Behaviors like disrespect, defiance, lying, disrupting, attention-seeking can make classroom's chaotic and do not promote learning. This is more than a classroom management issue, these kids need very specific interventions. I assembled a list of the 5 most difficult classroom behaviors and provided the interventions that I have seen the most success with.⁣
►What behavior would you add to the list?⁣

Teach students to focus on their capabilities with this Crayon🖍 themed activity. Promotes self-esteem and fosters a growth mindset in students. Building self-esteem in kids is critical. They need to like themselves and believe that they are capable and worthy. As a result, they will then make better choices, become more resilient, and push harder to reach their goals. They’re more likely to be happy, successful, and emotionally healthy. ⁣

This time of year is hard, and this year is even more challenging with the continuation of the pandemic. There are constantly a million things teachers and school staff could be doing on any given day. In the chaos try to remember that you are making a difference every day. 💛⁣

📚Book Review📚 Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun by

📚Book Review📚 Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun by Maria Dismondy is the first counseling book that was gifted to me by my amazing School Counseling Internship Supervisor, so it is very close to my heart. It is a great addition to your classroom or counseling library! ⁣
⁣
🌟 In Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun, Ralph teases Lucy for how she looks and the type of lunch she eats. One day, Ralph finds himself in a bad situation; he is stuck at the top of the monkey bars! Lucy wants to tell him how mean he is, but she decides to help Ralph when she realizes that he truly is afraid. Lucy overcomes her hurt feelings to be kind to her bully. ⁣
⁣
🌟 This book touches on people’s differences, such as Lucy’s love for different types of foods, while highlighting the ways we are all the same on the inside with fears, the ability to choose kindness, and choosing to have courage. You can choose to be kind and courageous even when others don’t make this choice. Your example can help change the way others act. ⁣

Teacher 5 ⭐ review: "If I could give this more stars, I would. This was an excellent resource to use with my class. I teach a behavior class. They responded so well to the activity. It allowed for a lot of reflection and insightful dialogue. Hands downs probably one of my top TPT purchases. Thank you!!!!" -Nadia D.⁣

This Monster👾 themed anger management activity teaches students to recognize their angry emotions. Frustration and anger can quickly turn into defiance, disrespect, aggression, and temper tantrums when kids don't know how to deal with their emotions. Teaching these skills in school is vital and leads to a better and safer learning environment. ⁣
⁣
📚Book Recommended to pair with this lesson is: The Color Monster by Anna Llenas.⁣

Teacher tip! 💡 Fill in your planner now for the rest of the year. At the beginning of the year, I love to fill in my planner with all the important dates and reminders in my planner. This is a great way to make sure you don't forget important things and to save time every week or month putting it in your planner. Some things I record are the dates grades are due, recurring meetings, school holidays, and reminders for when to start prepping for any large units I plan to teach. ⁣

Without kindness and compassion, our world grows cold and disconnected. These core values foster connection and trust with one another, promote understanding towards one another, and breeds a culture of positive relationships. There are TONS of ways to teach about kindness, trust me, I’ve explored MANY! Here are some of my tried and true tips and ideas for teaching kindness in the school setting:⁣
⁣
🔵Positive Reinforcement.⁣
🟢Model the behavior you want.⁣
🟣Morning Meetings.⁣
🟡Dedicate a focused time- Kindness month!⁣
🔵Group and center activities.⁣
🟢Foster friendships by providing opportunities for engagement.⁣
🟣Using videos and read alouds.⁣

You can do anything, but you can't do everything. Back to school time of year always has my to-do lists extremely long and unrealistic. Pick and choose the most important things to do, and set goals for the other things to be reached at another time of year. ⁣

⁣
🌟The main character of this book personifies her worry as a monster who lives in her mind. The monster, Worry, tells her she cannot do things, that people will not like her, and that she should not try new things. The main character finally talks to Worry and realizes that she will never not be scared unless she stops listening to him. She decides that she is finished listening to Worry but has to courageously stand up to him when he tries to creep back into her mind with messages that he has told her for a long time. ⁣

🌟This book assists children in identifying worries and silencing those fears by flipping the worries into strong reminders of everything one can accomplish. It demonstrates how one can use positive self-talk to drown out worries and also gives three helpful strategies for parents and teachers to use to help children at home or school.
