I am having trouble remembering to unpack
my homework.
I think you might want to have a list of
things that you need to unpack everyday.
Before doing your homework, you can have a
list of saying things that you did for
homework, and need to take it tomorrow.
Also for your homework, you can have a
homework notebook, so you know what to do
when you are at home.
One teacher gives a certain grade more work.
If you think that is unfair, you should talk
to that teacher and learn why he or she is
giving you more work. You can also claim
and ask why other grades didn't get it, and
your grade got it. If he/she says it is for
standards and your learning, then you should
just accept it. Life is not fair sometimes.
I have a book I really want,but the librarian
says no. One day I stole the book, and now
the librarian is searching for it. What do I
do
Just tell the truth.
I cant keep my self focused while using the computer and doing
Homework.
That is ok. Most of the students in RIS have the same problem.
Even I do. Maybe you can start by closing other windows that are
not related to homework, and you can have an adult next to you
when you study, so if you do something that is not about
homework, he/she can tell you. Also you can record yourself, and
if you do something that is not related to your homework and you
don’t realise it, then you can see it, and try to fix it.
Some of my friends are so annoying. They talk a lot!
If you are annoyed by your friends, you can ask them why they
are talking a lot in a joking way. But remember, you must not
hurt their feelings by saying rude things to them directly. Try to
ask it in a joking way, but you must make them understand that
you are serious by the way of saying words, or with your actions.
I can't sleep at night! I always sleep after 3 or 4 in mid-night! Do
you have any advices
I think you must listen to a music that can make you sleep, or
read a book before sleeping. You can also watch a movie, and
when you are tried, you can go to sleep. If you go to sleep that
late because of the chores/homework assignments/grading, then
you should have a studying plan, and you must decide what will
you do in a time period that will be enough you to finish all your
chores/homework assignments/grading.
Girls and boys are always fighting in my classroom. They are
always taking sides by boys and girls.
That is normal. When they fight, they should discuss why are
they fighting, but not in an screaming-or making fun way. They
should discuss their problem calmly, and try to solve the problem.
As the part when they take each boys and girls side. That is
normal too because boys can think like other boys, and girls can
think like other girls.
