Sorry for my delay in responding to everyone and posting my question and thoughts. When I was thinking about what question I wanted to do, I constantly was drawn back to one individual in my classroom . He is a very immature first grader socially, with a very in stable home environment. He doesn't have any close relationships and has trouble dealing with adults in general. Although he acts out in class behavior wise, he is a very smart intellectual. So on to my question: What would happen if I were to spend more one on one time with Kaylub.
I am wanting to spend time with this child individually and record his actions, behaviorally, socially, and academically. I am recording the number of break downs in class along with his behavior during class time and with his peers. I have our school psychologist set up to meet with him in a social group once a week and we are meeting twice a month to talk about his behaviors in group and during class. When meeting with this child I will be doing more of a one on one relationship builder. I want him to gain a relationship of trust with me. I am planning on doing board games, having him help me out after class, and also begin a book together that we can read. I think that this will change so many things with him and I just can't wait to see!
I also was given a very interesting book, thanks to Terry:), that has given me more of an insight of things to think about. I am very excited to see the outcome of this study:) If you have any suggestions please let me know!!

I really like the focus of your project with this child. I'm a real believer in the power of the relationship between a teacher and child. So, your focus on spending one on one time engaging in informal activities holds a lot of promise. And, I imagine your findings could end up touching on a range of issues--social, behavioral, changes in your own understandings of him, academic. . . It will be very interesting to see your work unfold!
