My challenge is that I only have 30 minutes a day with each class and so my rewards or discipline need to be quick to get any teaching done. and many of my challenging kids speak less english (because they don't pay attention) and so keeping it simple enough to be understood is an extra challenge.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09180686700035666288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651445707411750065.post-32547948548155382502013-10-27T01:14:42.064-07:002013-10-27T01:14:42.064-07:00If you don't already have an online profession...If you don't already have an online professional learning community (Plc) Twitter and Google plus are both full of educators.

Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669542062876450347noreply@blogger.com
