Setting expectations

Today in my class, one of the students had to leave exactly at 1:30. But he arrived late at 12:40. We waited for him since it was just the 3 of us. Perhaps it was my mistake to wait for him. But we did not finish by 1:30, so he got up and left.

"Hold the space"... that was said this past weekend in YY teacher training. I thought about it and kept going to finish out the class. I have to remember that this will most likely happen in a regular class, so I need to not be distracted by such actions.

I got good feedback from the remaining student. He said the class was hard for him today because he had to concentrate. The balance postures were good for him because activities that require concentration is what he enjoys.

Awesome.
