Re: Classroom Management is About Routines and Procedures
Posted by kristin r on 8/16/08
For getting their attention: I say "1,2, 3 look at me" then
wait until I see all eyes on me. The students who are paying
attention will do this and then tell the ones who aren't to look
at me as they know I will not tell them what is going to happen
next until I have everyone's attention.
For the start of your day make sure they have morning work on
their desk or on the overhead. It shouldbe posted in the same
place every day so they know what to do when they come in. If
you read Harry Wong's book-" The First Days of School" it gives
many suggestions about procedures
