5th Grade Chaos

    Entering my 5th grade class at the Frank D. Spaziano Elementary School is a chaotic environment but the students want to learn. A student, whom we will call Justin acts up in class and gets sent to the hallways or just goes into the hallways to take a brain break. He is a student of color and comes in dressed in sports gear and things that he is interested in on shirts. This student sits in the front of the room and doesn't want to do work but will if they are interested in it. Once he sits in the hallways for a little while he can get back into learning. The teacher wants him to do work but it's hard to control and teach a student that doesn't want to learn. Justin will do the work that is assigned when he feels like doing it, when the teacher says to multiple times, or when he actually wants to learn.
