teacher interacts with both of them.

Watch how the children react when they are

praised or reprimanded.

click the smart board.

In every classroom in the world there are students how

have a good behavior and how are not. In this classroom
there all kids have a good behavior but there is one boy
how have very bad behavior. He has a social problem, he
want draws attention from every one in the classroom. He
creates a problem from any things and he shout with loud
voice. When they work in groups if they dont give her any
thing he will be sad and angry and if they give her things to
do he dont want it and he dont want work. He disperses
the kids and they dont now how to work. Teacher knows
how to do with this kid, she dont give her any interest and
she ignore this boy, if she ignore her he come back and say
sorry. She use many strategies with these kind of students,
talking with them, thing about problem on own, try to
solve it, if they have problem with another kids she suggest
to play somewhere else, and follow through.
