In my current placement, we use a protocol where the teacher says, "Hocus pocus" and the students respond by saying, "everybody focus!" ]]> 2021-04-16 04:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424078833 mollymrafferty https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424083561 Providing students with a must do, may do list each day is a great time-saver and keeps students on track.

The norms should be set in place from the beginning of the school year and followed throughout. This consistency helps students remember and follow them. Of course, adding a norm during the year when needed is always encouraged. ]]> 2021-04-16 04:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424085684 mollymrafferty https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424090176 Utilizing non-verbal communication in the classroom is key, especially when a teacher is in the middle of instruction. Avoiding any distraction is a plus. Therefore, using non-verbal signals for things like when a student needs to go to the bathroom, needs a tissue, needs a drink of water, needs a new pencil, or has a question are all great times to use a quick hand signal without shouting out. ]]> 2021-04-16 04:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424090176 mollymrafferty https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424094454 Rewarding students for their positive behavior is a fantastic way to keep kids behaving well. In my current placement, we use a star and ticket system. Students receive stars from us on their index card for positive behavior. Once they have 20 stars, they can go choose a ticket from the reward wall. Tickets include things like bring a fluffy friend to school, show and tell, no morning work, wear your pajamas for day, read a book in front of the class, use the teacher's chair for a day, pick a toy from the treasure chest, etc. ]]> 2021-04-16 04:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424094454 mollymrafferty https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424099851 Organization is key in every classroom. Establishing a system for students to organize their work is an integral part to managing daily routines. In my current placement, student use a binder for homework and miscellaneous classwork organized with tabs, a blue folder for math classwork, and a yellow folder for ELA classwork. We clear out the colored folders at the end of each week and send it home in their Friday folders. Students also have a chair pocket that sits on the back of their chair in the classroom. The chair pocket holds their colored folders, whiteboards, writing pad, math workbook, and extra hands-on materials. ]]> 2021-04-16 04:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424099851 mollymrafferty https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424106756 Having work stations in the classroom allows students to collaborate with their peers and build social connections. It also shows that students can be responsible in a small-group setting by being respectful and cleaning up after themselves. The teacher can also monitor multiple groups at once and provides time for the teacher to pull small-groups/one-on-ones. ]]> 2021-04-16 04:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424106756 mollymrafferty https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424110882 Promoting socio-emotional learning and mindfulness in the classroom whenever possible is very important. Utilizing a personal gratitude journal and a daily emotional check-in are both great ways to provide students with time to relax and focus on their well-being. Practicing breathing exercises and mindfulness is a great way to re-focus students who may be overwhelmed or stressed. ]]> 2021-04-16 04:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mollymrafferty/tskw0vy85i9l3ow7/wish/1424110882
