The student who does not try to learn

This week I had my first I would say discipline problem/issue with a student. I am into the handtool project in the wood working unit and I was teaching bird house layouts and the basics to a blueprint. The first day did not go well because the way in which I taught the students just were not grasping the concept. So that night I figured up a new plan and retaught the lesson the next day. I sat down and drew a birdhouse from start to finish showing every step and explaining why I did what I did. After doing all of this, this student did not even try to listen. He was playing with the vice than touching all of my papers so when it came time to do his own he had no idea where to start. I spent the entire class period answering questions for him that he had previously asked before and just was not grasping any of it. When I would go over to him he would have someone else's ruler in his hand or something.

I personally was not showing any patience towards this student. I talked to Mrs. Anderson about it and what I ended up doing was getting this student at the end of the day out of his homeroom. I brought him down to the shop and we worked through his layout one on one. He started understanding the concept and he went much better than class did. The next day he still had a few questions but was able to do the work and go so much done compared to the previous day. He also did not mess with other students stuff like the previous day. From this I did learn to take a step back and breath and think before I act. Not that I said or did something wrong but if I had not I probably would have.

This week was also National FFA week. The officer team planned out a themed week:
Monday= Camo
Tuesday= Boot Scootin' Tuesday
Wednesday= Where's it at Wednesday
Thursday= Trivia Thursday
Friday= Flannel Friday

We also went o Hoss's night to eat dinner with a state officer and had an ice cream social Thursday after school for the faculty.
