Teaching second grade is always a challenge.
Each student arrives at school with his own needs and difficulties. One year a
student called Billy 36 me with his behavior as well as
his academic requirements. He struggled daily with his 37 emotions and often became angry or
violent. I knew that, to make
38 progress, his
emotions needed controlling.
One 39 I tried to help Billy was to have
him come directly into the classroom when he arrived at school. Billy’s mom
would 40 me to alert (警告) me to a particularly emotional morning at home. Then, I would focus
on 41 his anger and calming him down
before the other students arrived.
One week our class was studying 42 . I thought one way to bring learning
into the classroom was to bring my dog Rocky to school for the day.
That day began as normal. I was preparing
activities focused on dog themes
43 I was told that
Billy had a 44 morning at home and I might need
to get him 45 . As I was talking to his mom, Billy 46 into the classroom. To
Billy’s 47 , Rocky immediately ran up to his
new 48 , wagging his tail and licking Billy’s
face with doggy affection. Billy couldn’t 49 Rocky’s charm (魅力) and began laughing as his anger melted away.
Throughout the day, Billy never left Rocky’s
side, feeding him, being gentle with him and even 50 the other students while Rocky was
sleeping.
Billy was known for doing anything he could
to avoid 51 , but on this day he found a good dog
story, “Clifford’s Puppy Days,” and read it to Rocky. How 52 I was at the sight of Billy
reading happily！My little dog was able to 53 Billy’s day from one of anger and
frustration to one of laughter, gentleness and 54 .
That day Rocky more than helped me with
my 55 ; he helped to change the life of a
child! After that Billy’s behavior definitely improved.
