Q:
My first grader will not start his seatwork in class. any suggestions would be appreciated
My first grader refuses to do his seatwork (class work). While the class is doing their vairous worksheets and activities; he's breaking his crayons, playing around with his shoes...basically anything other than his work. When he comes home, we have that days seat work in addition to the regularly assigned homework. He's been reasoned with, yelled at, grounded, not allowed to play basketball, praised for the good grades...nothing is working. Here's the kicker; when does his work...it takes him no time at all to correctly complete the work sheets. I'm at my wits end...any suggestions would be appreciated.
