The bell rings, signaling a new day in Mrs. Brooks' 2nd grade
classroom. As the students quietly enter the room, they go
directly to their lockers, put away all of their personal items,
and take out their daily folders, which they place in a special
daily folder basket next to the doorway. Students then choose
a book for independent, silent reading at their desks until the
morning announcements begin. Mrs. Brooks moves around
the room handing out tickets (which may later be traded in for
prizes) to students who are on task. After the announcements,
Mrs. Brooks calls the class to the rug in an open area of the
room for the morning meeting. Josh is chosen from a set of
cards as the Student of the Day. Michael is upset that Josh is
chosen over him, and complains that it is unfair. Mrs. Brooks
moves into close proximity to Michael and reminds him that
everyone will get an opportunity to be the Student of the Day
and that his turn will be coming soon. As Michael continues
to complain, Mrs. Brooks calmly gives him a warning, which
is the next step in her classroom behavior management plan,
then proceeds with the routine. Michael continues to interrupt
the class and is instructed to turn his card from green to
yellow, meaning that he will miss 10 minutes of recess later in
the day. For the rest of the morning meeting, Michael behaves
appropriately.
