Don't forget the Obvious...

I have a group of students that I do enrichment with. They drive me bonkers, totally bonkers. I was talking with a Teacher/Coach about them looking for ideas. My time with them yesterday went really well. They wrote in a journal while listening to classical music. It was the first time it had been slightly peaceful with them. Then this teacher was like "you could always read a book to them" DUHHHHHHHHHH! I love to read aloud and it is relaxing for me. These students have a lot of behavior issues so we spend the last five minutes of class running laps. I don't know if it helps but it doesn't hurt!!!! Anyhow, I forgot the obvious solution. Sometimes we make it more complex than we need to.
