The Social Detective

Carol, our inclusion specialist, brought a new skit to our classroom last week. She brought her detective lens (magnifying glass) to our room to help us solve the mystery of how people behave towards each other. In one skit she continually interrupted me as I was trying to write something on the board. I told her she could have the marker when I was done with it, but please wait for her turn. She wouldn't take no for an answer. We then asked the children whether her behavior was something we expected another person to do, or if it was unexpected behavior. The language of expected/unexpected behavior will be cropping up more often as we figure out what is appropriate for different situations.

In this shot Carol shows the children a photo and asks for their input on how these children are behaving.
