At Webster Avenue Elementary School, a diverse class of kindergarten students follow along with Mrs. Gaffney. In my 2 hours of observation so far, I have not identified any students as "troublemakers". Some kindergarten students become restless during carpet time and need to be corrected, but this doesn't stand out as a behavioral issue. The students all maintain appropriate behavior throughout the day and this may be due to the aide, Ms. Maria. She translates certain instructions into Spanish for students who struggle to understand the teacher. I would assume students have no reason to act out because their conditions are perfectly suited to their needs, as per Shalaby's Troublemakers ideas of the Canary in the Coalmine.
