Re: After School Class Management

I agree with the last poster. Some random thoughts:

These children are tired! Do they get a snack? Most programs
provide some food after a long day at school. Could you
provide some inexpensive snack if they can come in quietly?

It's unrealistic to think that they will just sit, do activity
sheets and get along at the end of a long day.

Maybe they could bring a towel, find their own space, and lie
down to listen to taped stories or stories that you read.

Also, maybe you could use some educational DVDs from the
library during this time as a reward for coming in quietly.

Do they like to sing? There are lots of fun CD's of songs
they could sing.

Hang in there.

Best wishes! Lea
