Calendar: I (Shafer) does something specific; I go over the date and forecasted weather as well as countdowns to the next break. Especially during the rain season, this helps kids plan clothing accordingly.

Great for quick checks for understanding.

If caught using another way, I just say "phone" and it is turned in until the end of the period. Students must say "I'm sorry" to get their phone back.

If they are well behaved as a collective class period, they earn a point, and once they earn X amount of points, they are rewarded with a party day. I’ve found it incentivizes students to hold each other responsible and self police each other.

]]> 2024-01-08 16:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841736964 Keep calm and remember that they may be just as frustrated as you. It’s not easy learning a new subject of language. https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841737962 2024-01-08 16:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841737962 Front of the lunch line https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841737968 2024-01-08 16:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841737968 https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841738077 Asking a few questions to double check understanding of assignment, knowing due dates, requirements, etc. Then, they clean their areas and start packing up for next period.

]]> 2024-01-08 16:47:34 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841738077 Reviewing social contract https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841738113 Behavior expectations. When we chose a word from our social contract to work on for the day I ask 3 bonus CKH questions. “How can I as your teacher do [this] for you?” “How can you do [this] for each other?” And “How can you do [this] for me?” This helps set the tone for how we are going to act and speak (when asked to) during instruction and group/individual work

]]> 2024-01-08 16:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841738113 No fail policy https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841738382 Students can redo or retake ANY assignment at ANY point in the semester to improve their original score. When used with teacher discretion, you may get more engagement from students who might have originally checked out due to early low test scores.

]]> 2024-01-08 16:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841739527 Work completion https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841739545 Students are given time in class to complete work and have the chance to take it home if they need additional time. The students that finish x number of questions correctly get an incentive, typically snacks.

]]> 2024-01-08 16:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841740476 Bathroom passes https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841741087 I made bathroom passes worth extra credit at the end of the semester if not used. If students don't use a pass, they lost a participation point. Over 5 minutes costs another participation point.

]]> 2024-01-08 16:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841741087 Warm ups: positive quotes and questions about them. https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841741399 Write affirmations to friends

]]> 2024-01-08 16:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841741791 Cellphones and bathroom https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841742693 Cellphone use is not permitted unless the activity calls for an electronic device. The activity that requires an electronic device is graded and goes into the grade book. If a student is found using a cellphone inappropriately (scrolling through tiktok) or anything like that, the phone is confiscated and returned to the student at the end of the class. The student is then given a Chromebook so they can continue to participate in the activity.


Bathroom: students get no more than 10 minutes to take care of business and cannot use the restroom the first 10 or the last 10 of class.

]]> 2024-01-08 16:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841742693 I give tickets when students say a good thing, do something good as an incentive to increase positivity in the classroom. https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841742980 2024-01-08 16:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841742980 Have a student be the social contract rater by daily picking one of the social contract values and before class is over rating the class. https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841742988 2024-01-08 16:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841742988 Funny stories https://padlet.com/chiarabrannigan/wjrma7llzmgq3rn9/wish/2841743894 Share funny stories about yourself (even if it’s an embarrassing photo of yourself!). Encourage students to share their own funny stories.
