We try really hard not to have the kids on the carpet.
You know, I teach first grade, so I try really hard that the kids aren't on the carpet longer than fifteen minutes.
Um those that need wobble stools, uh, we have those so.
I think just looking at individual students and knowing that the things that I talk about in my book, they're not that hard and they're not expensive at all.
It's basically just having a shift in thinking about us having a responsibility to all of our students when they walk in the door.
Yeah, so in my experience, some of the kids that typically would be struggling most in the classroom.
Um, because I know them well and I can adjust things.
The places that can still be hard will be places like recess or PE or the lunchroom.
Sometimes that's because of the social demand, sometimes that's because of the sensory, you know, the the echoing of the lunchroom or the smell of all the food.
Um my experience has been that when support staff, music teachers,
Para educators or EAs who are out at recess or in the lunchroom.
They have such a greater empathy.
When they really know what's going on.
I think sometimes when you're dealing with so many kids, we have seven hundred and forty kids at our school.
And when you're dealing with so many kids, sometimes you forget that they're kids with feelings.
You're just trying to keep them all safe.
um crowd control really when you're talking about things like the lunchroom and recess.
And my experience has been
that when the support staff understands where the behaviors are coming from, it's never a bad thing.
I completely understand hesitant parents.
