Here are some ideas to use or modify to get to know your students and engage them quickly. I also really enjoy the STEM activity as many STEM lessons/activities match up fairly well with the new NGSS standards. This is a great reference tool and contains activities that that I would consider appropriate from grades 4-8.

While 6th grade is on the lower end of upper elementary and I don think that 8th graders would respond in quite the same fashion, I do believe that the cues and responses could be modified for 8th graders. From this video I learned that it is possible to temporarily allow students to talk among themselves, and with the proper conditioning you can allow students freedom to talk with peers and quickly snap them back into the lesson efficiently and without being abrasive. ]]> 2017-04-18 14:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lacha1cb/ygmz4e2eighe/wish/166765803 lacha1cb https://padlet.com/lacha1cb/ygmz4e2eighe/wish/166890550 This is a short, personal account of a first year middle school teacher. He does a great job of identifying the problem not as the single incident that took place, but rather the way that he treated the children. He talks about his students being able to easily tell if they are respected and valued, and the profound impact that genuinally showing students that they matter in these ways can solve more problems than any set of rules. ]]> 2017-04-18 21:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lacha1cb/ygmz4e2eighe/wish/166890550 lacha1cb https://padlet.com/lacha1cb/ygmz4e2eighe/wish/166892668 What I like most about this article is that it talks about the tendencies of middle school students academics to suffer due to the social pressures and bodily changes that are occurring. It also reinforces relationship based teaching. Something that I pride myself on making a corner stone of my teaching philosophy. ]]> 2017-04-18 22:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lacha1cb/ygmz4e2eighe/wish/166892668 lacha1cb https://padlet.com/lacha1cb/ygmz4e2eighe/wish/166894005 This article has plenty of very easily applied management strategies. What makes these strategies so great is that they are from and paired with testimony from teachers. This will be a great resource ]]> 2017-04-18 22:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lacha1cb/ygmz4e2eighe/wish/166894005 lacha1cb https://padlet.com/lacha1cb/ygmz4e2eighe/wish/166895250 While I do not think of my students as squirrels this article is great. The section on mixing routine with distraction is very helpful and through my student teaching I can see how this approach could be very successful. ]]> 2017-04-18 22:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lacha1cb/ygmz4e2eighe/wish/166895250 lacha1cb https://padlet.com/lacha1cb/ygmz4e2eighe/wish/167465265 2017-04-21 12:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lacha1cb/ygmz4e2eighe/wish/167465265
