What about trying to gradually integrate him into classroom settings with other second graders, or at least first graders?"

Reinforcing behaviors
I need some help. I have a student who is repeating kindergarten for the 2nd time, and is still struggling with behaviors. I want to reinforce the positive as well as discourage the negative behaviors.

Ok elementary teachers I need some help. I understand the importance of reinforcing the effort that students show but I need some new ideas. What have you tried or implemented in order to reinforce your students? Also how do you provide that feedback? I teach kindergarten so it has to be something that is immediate or it doesn't mean anything to them. They don't understand what they did to deserve it if the reward comes later. Let me know your thoughts! ThanksSee More
