Here is what the teacher wrote to me in response to my email to her asking what was going on...
Mandee,
I agree that Trinity is smart and has a lot of potential! She is a good student. I really think that if I move her away from the table that she’s at right now, there will be an improvement in the talking area. She isn’t interrupting me when I’m teaching or wondering the room, etc. It’s mostly during independent work times. She gets more social and not focused on the assignment. Both of the students at her table seem to not be a good mix. I think I’m going to change all of their groups for Monday and see what changes with some of the other talking issues that I have. I appreciate your questions and follow through at home. It makes a big difference in how they respond to me here.
Trinity is such a sweet girl and so fun to have in class! She really wants to please me and tries hard a lot of the time.
Thanks again,
Mrs. Baker
so...sounds like we are on the same page
