The first week of school all 3 specialist (music, library, and PE) came to me and asked me about my class. I gave them a brief overview of what I learned.
Thankful they are very understanding. Last Friday the music teacher left her intern in charge and came down with one of my SPD kids. (We will call him Shawn. : )) She told me that his behavior was not where it needed to be and what could we do to help him. Shawn, the music teacher and I all brainstormed a plan. We decided that he could give a little hand signal that meant he needed to go do wall push-ups. The music teacher would nod if it was ok and then he would just get up and go do them. This week he got up about 3 times during the lesson and just took care of it. We told our other friend (We will call him Toby.) that he could use the same technique.
Last year Shawn had shown up with a sock that seemed to have rocks in it. The music teacher had been given no instructions and did not know it was coming. The item had to quickly be removed when it became a swinging toy.
I think our push-up plan will work a little smoother. : )
