It was an incredibly good day. I am so happy that the kids were really well-behaved. Not once, from what I've seen, did any of the staff members, including myself, have to sit someone in time out. The unfortunate part for the day is that I only had two kids in Power Hour, but that is better than zero. They played a couple of chess games. I allowed them to play best two out of three. The winner received ten extra points and the opponent five extra points. Those two kids are really good at following the rules. The only problem I had with all the kids was with them putting their feet up on the couches, chairs, and the picnic table we have in the snack room.
I also had a conversation with a few of the kids today about how their schoolwork is coming along. One of them mentioned that he made As and Bs. I let him know that he sounds like he's doing real well. Another had mentioned that he had made a few Fs on his last report card. After asking him why, he replied that school is hard and he is afraid of it. His mother goes to school and does not make it home at night until 10:30 p.m. She helps him sometimes. His grandmother does not know how to help him with his homework. He does not know where his father is right now either. I told him that I might be able to help him out a little bit if he would come up to Power Hour instead of going to art all the time.
