session 2 homework

I had a student who was looking upset and quietly took his paper and went back to the coat closet. When I went back to talk to him I discovered that other students were teasing him about a picture he had drawn. we talked about what he could do and he decided to sit at another table and finish his work, rather than throwing it away. I think that by being observant and catching him before he tore his work, deescalated the situation quickly and easily. If I hadn't just been to our session and discussing signs of anxiety, I may not have seen this.

It's not all great though, I tried my darndest on another student who was very agitated but there wasn't much I could say that would get through to him.
