If there is already a name, no need to ask permission. Don't leave while teacher is giving directions, only during work time.]]> 2021-09-17 13:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748647310 hand raised gabriellafigueiredo4_1 https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748651532 this has a 50/50 success rate for me, but its what we have tried to implement.

No policy for me yet as they are walking in the hallway.]]> 2021-09-17 13:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748657507 crocodiled or fully closed gabriellafigueiredo4_1 https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748658370 when teacher is speaking]]> 2021-09-17 13:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748658370 Write your name on the board liasabinson5_1 https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748671963 I started this but lost the flow in the last week. Having a "tape-desinged" space for that like what I saw in Maiuí's classroom is a brilliant idea. I can definitely revive this with 7.5 and 7.6]]> 2021-09-17 13:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748671963 Policy needed desperately for 7.5 and 7.6 liasabinson5_1 https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748683355 I am thinking that maybe having a poster reminding them; What I started doing (yesterday) is have a "shouting board" where I write the name of the student and add how many times they shout in the class (to get my attention or at others). One shout is an accident, the second one will be registered on veracross. I hope not all sections need such a way of dealing with this and appreciate other ideas. I also call on students who raise their hand to share, interrupting those that start out of the blue.

When I want silence, I use the "hand up strategy" but I admit it's taking a while for them so setlle down]]> 2021-09-17 13:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748689534 Yes!

It has been one of the worst moments of my day since there is so much energy put in separating the kids. ]]> 2021-09-17 13:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748707506 I am not sure this would go here but... liasabinson5_1 https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748729367 In 7.5 and 7.6 Ale, Ingrid, Mari, and I have been coming up with bi-weekly seating charts. However, depending on the activity it changes, so we have the weekly seating arrengent in clusters and the lesson-specific ones. ]]> 2021-09-17 13:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748729367 Mix pedroramos44_1 https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748732096 If you hear me clap once, If you hear me clap twice, if you hear me clap/do something whimsical to call everyone's attention after a Think/Pair/Share

The students more eager to leave the classroom start calling others to move. 

I am in front of the pack of students as we move through the hallways

As students come back from break, I have them make a new line in front of the class before coming in. I have a small talk to each as they come back to re-set]]> 2021-09-17 13:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748743120 I tell them at the beginning of class that they will only use their laptops when I tell them to pedroramos44_1 https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748745148 I want to have a set space for laptops at the start of the lesson]]> 2021-09-17 13:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1748745148 Raising hand and counting down, with mixed results cristianocairoli1 https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1752505621 2021-09-19 23:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1752505621 Having a hard time enforcing the "raise hands" behaviour, especially with 7.3, but both classes have improved about this. cristianocairoli1 https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1752506599 2021-09-19 23:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1752506599 I'm having kids repeat these 3 rues before going to break. If they break a rule we come back. Results have been really good. cristianocairoli1 https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1752507733 The rules:
1) Stay together
2) No mixing
3) Quiet in the hallways]]> 2021-09-19 23:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1752507733 It is difficult for us in projects because classes always start after a break or lunch. I am counting down form 10 to 0 before attendance, and they need to be at their assigned seats and ready by then. cristianocairoli1 https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1752509138 2021-09-19 23:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellafigueiredo4_1/knusoiix40i000n9/wish/1752509138 I ask them to always fully close during instructions, and use a hand gesture (italian family, you know).
