End of Second Week

I am enjoying my field experience even though it is not what I expected. I, quickly, learned that many of the students come with a lot of baggage. Some are considered homeless, while others live with their grandma or have other things going on at home. If my CT hadn't told me this, I definitely would've figured it out based on the behavior of some of the students. For example: We have had to evacuate the room twice because there was a child throwing things and it was unsafe. It's heartbreaking to hear some of the things these children have experienced at such a young age. My CT does very well at redirecting the class and rearranging the schedule when a child is acting out so the other children are still able to learn. The saying "it takes a village to raise a child" describes the school I'm at very well. There are many people that help out to make sure the children are safe and able to learn. When a child is acting out in class, my CT calls and has someone come to get the child for a break. I don't know what the school would do without all the help.
I'm glad I was placed where I am. It made me realize that I may not always have the ideal class. Even though sometimes there are behavioral problems, the children in the class are so caring and empathetic! One day, student 1 was acting out and had to leave the classroom to take a break. When student 1 came back, student 2 went up and gave student 1 a hug and walked them to the carpet to join the class.
Has anyone else had similar experiences to mine in the classroom? How does your CT handle the behavioral issues?
