Survive and Thrive by Michelle Steever https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo What is one successful procedure or activity that is working in your library classroom (or you have seen that works in a classroom)? en-us 2017-02-24 15:11:03 UTC 2017-02-25 14:28:23 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156187899 I think that my experiences as a classroom teacher has helped me become an experienced librarian. ]]> 2017-02-25 14:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156187899 My behavior management skills I used in my classroom have really helped me set behavior expectations for all the students in my library from grades K-5. https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156187900 2017-02-25 14:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156187900 Centers https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156187935 Centers work well in my library classroom. Centers allow for small group activities and independent centers as well as the ability for the librarian to work with a small group. ]]> 2017-02-25 14:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156187935 Attention Getting https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156188001 Whenever my students are working on things on their computers, in order to get their attention, I clap three times, then they repeat it and are all quiet, attentive, and ready to listen to me. It's simple, free, fast, and a huge help. It works with all ages.]]> 2017-02-25 14:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156188001 Students love whip around- after book selection (and pending on their grade level). This brings the class back together, helps to focus them again after the chaos of book selection and reinforces library learning as well as public speaking skills. https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156188002 2017-02-25 14:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156188002 https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156188039 Knowing what students are doing in class so that library days have more context]]> 2017-02-25 14:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156188039 https://padlet.com/steevermichelle/qol8bqj1tzjo/wish/156188046 When dealing with classroom management I have had to change my approach. When I worked with little kids we did a fancy clap to get their attention. With the older kids, I figured that wasn't appropriate. So I either count backwards from 3 to get their attention or wait until they notice I was waiting for them to stop talking. I have found that both work well.
