I give out bucks for good behavior, and this seems to work wonderfully. If they get loud, then I just get out the bucks and go right to the person who is being quiet or using an inside voice and reward and vocalize why they are getting the reward. My kids work hard to earn those bucks for prizes. I do reserve the right to take away bucks also for bad behavior. I usually don't have to resort to that one. You kind of do have to set up a routine or way at first for their behavior. Give them a routine day where they kind of know what to expect. I do my days in the same order, just so the students can work on autopilot if need be. Of course, labs and experiments I try to establish procedures as well. In logic, I let them work as pairs if they are using quiet voices. If they don't, they work alone. Right now things are pretty calm and collective, but it gets rowdier when they get to know each other, holiday times, etc. and will push harder. I hope you can get that noise level at hand now--it gets worse later on.
