[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 388974, member: 4040"] I was in sixth grade the last two days; about half the class was familiar from previous years. One young man, M, has various issues, and spends most of his day in other classrooms, same as last year. This year, however, I noticed he was sucking his thumb while reading. I didn't notice this from him last year. He's a nice kid, polite and pleasant, and even though no one in class (including me) said anything, I can't help but think that he'll be teased/bullied once he hits junior high next year. Any insights on why this may have started, and any suggestions on how I can help M? I do expect to be back in that classroom again this year; the office manager schedules her platoon of subs so we stay with the same teachers; getting to know the kids and the routines make it a lot easier on all of us.
