[quote=Anonymous]That is a great suggestion, to ask specifically for the interventions in an email.  A few that I recall are 1) the teacher uses a dry erase to quietly put a mark on his desk to give him a visual warning when he interrupts 2) to keep hands busy, putting a piece of velcro inside his desk for him to use when he feels fidgety...goodness, that is all I recall right now.  One thing that was troubling, and that I have noticed is that when he is called out on innapropriate behavior (one example was a group of peers and he were in another classroom, and the other teacher mentioned that a group were being disruptive during a reading activity, all the other kids apologized), he is starting to seem a bit willful saying things like "I am apologizing for something I didn't do" in a rude tone...which of course, we find unacceptable.  Or, they were playing a game, and he kept interrupting.  The teacher warned him numerous times, and in the end, when he did not stop, she had him do another activity (written math) in the place of the fun activity, to allow the other children to keep playing....so, in the end, he still learned the skills being taught in the game, but had to do it in a less fun way.

I feel we really have sought to teach our children to respect others...and lately....sigh.....[/quote]
