Allocate time to check in with students to find out about their feelings for the day. instead of using 1-5 we can use red light/green light cards - because we have a bigger classroom size!

- at the beginning of the year, teacher should set clear rules for students to follow

These rules should be placed visibly in the classroom so that the students can view it any time.

Setting Routines and Procedures in classroom

Co-construct classroom rules so that students understand the expectations better and become responsible for their own rules. We need to allocate time to reinforce/practice these rules as well.

Pri 5 students can be more independent in creating the rules as they have more experience while Pri 3 students might need more guidance from the teacher.

Spend ample time to establish routines and procedures in the first few weeks of class as these routines will make the academic year much easier.

# data[].attributes.body
To note:
Try to adopt school-established routines like 5 fingers up to not overwhelm them.

Any differences between Pri 3-5? Perhaps not so much.

However, in Pri 5, to provide greater autonomy in deciding the class contract, facilitated by class Chairpersons.
Empowering students to play a part in establishing/ enacting the contract. Ie: Assigning monitors (front and back) when travelling from one place to another.

The whole idea is to eventually help them regulate themselves independently.

1. Ensure the class is ready and silent before the teacher steps into the class.

2. Do the check-in on how everybody is feeling. / Buddy check-ins.

3. Prepare materials and belongings before moving out of the classroom.

4. Number the movements/actions for each step of getting ready. (Like the video)

5. Planning ways to aid students in the preparation of materials (for example, art class - prepare an art kit/station for students to pick and settle down immediately)

6. Appointing some roles and responsibilities to some students to aid in managing the class. (Empowering students) (For upper primary)

7. Ensuring students are on task by performing the same action at the start for the teacher to monitor. (iPad e.g)

We need to be patient and focus more on the positive behaviours in class. Praise and affirm students who are doing the right things.

- rules (big ideas eg responsibilty) must be broken down so that students can understand better

# data[].attributes.body
Routines:
1. Counting down to get their attention.  5,4,3,2,1.

2. 1 silent clap, then proceed to give instructions.

3. Hand signals. Eg: When student show 1 finger- indicate toilet break. When student show 2 fingers- want to go water cooler. 3 fingers- ...., 4 fingers-...etc

4. Use powerpoint to explain instructions for group work. Then check for understanding. Use thumbometer.
