sincere Hi, I have some students that are also chronically tardy...

It messes up my morning somewhat because they miss vital lesson information and sometimes what sets the tone for the entire morning...to allow me to have the children working independently so I can pull small groups...

I found comfort in Ruby Payne's book about Generation...See More
