W3D15
Fully ready to begin work, I had a very difficult Monday; through it all, the students were focused on me and not the student. The one student that I focused on (J) did very well and was able to try everything. But in spite of it all, I feel I worked as an editor and used all my "capital" to hold us together.
Working in these ways as a class is very difficult and maybe if I had kept us in our places it would have been a better and more cohesive class. Hindsight.
One of the things that made me feel the best was the fact that even though one child tried his best to disrupt the class, the other students held strong. But it is hard to justify spending all the time with the one disruptive student more than the students who were holding it together.
