3rd day solo, part 2

Today's third grade class was very interesting and probably the prize winner experience of the week. This class came in with a very tense energy. Sitting on the rug illustrated a challenge and it didn’t help that I had to get at least two of them up to spit things out several times. Vanessa even insisted on watching as Jerrion spit out whatever was in his mouth to make sure he did (never, ever again going to allow this). The movie was having problems starting, as the output kept on changing over to the computer screen, which caused a couple of kids to complain more. Jerrion was the first to cause issues. He vocalized continuously that he didn’t want to watch the movie and that it was “for 2nd graders”. He soon moved to the discipline chair, but asked to sit back on the rug 5 minutes later. I don’t think he was liking being in the back closer to Mr. Holland. Lacyria and Vanessa were sitting next to each other with their backs against the wall with all the student work in it. Vanessa was watching me, not the movie, with caused me to watch her. Lacyria began to be very vocal as the movie progressed, which made it very hard for anyone to watch the movie. Vanessa was kind of egging on the situation, but Lacyria was definitely the ringleader. I wasn’t 100% sure on her name though, so I ended up allowing both of them to move to the tables. Lacyria lasted 30 seconds before Mr. Holland grabbed her and took her to Ms. Smith. For the next 5 minutes Vanessa asked maybe 3 times if she could go to the bathroom, which I wasn’t buying. After that, she walked out of the room. Jerrion ended up going back to the tables after this. He was still being vocal about the movie, and at the table he wasn’t like that Mr. Holland was telling him to be quiet. I ended up giving him a crossword and after a bit he left too. After these three students were gone the remainder of class was excellent.
I filled out three reports after school and talked to Ms. Smith. She said that Vanessa’s goal had been to get down to the office to be with Lacyria, which she had realized and made her sit in the hallway. I phoned Vanessa’s mother and explained what had happened.
