Christian’s cheerful, friendly smile, kind heart and playful spirit make him well liked by his classmates and teacher alike. As a student, Christian has proven himself to be hard working, aiming to do what is expected of him. As it is not always easy for Christian to understand and follow directions without support, he works best when an assignment is broken down into small steps and modeled for him.

Meditation instead of a detention- How misbehaved or disrupting kids are handled in Robert W. Coleman Elementary school We are all familiar with that creepy room where disruptive children are sent where they have the chance to reconsider and reflect on everything bad they have done.

Most of the children are guided to the outdoor area if they wake up early so that they do not disturb the other children that are still sleeping.
