This is my first year as a fulltime teacher. I am having trouble with classroom management. I have a lot of ideas but cannot seem to get them implemented. I teach 4th and 5th grade. I am trying to come up with an effective yet simple approach to classroom management/discipline policy that does not require a lot of work on my part. I have thought of using the old "turn your card" "name and X's on the board" and others like these but is that too immature for 4th and 5th grade? I want to use something positive but without having to buy rewards since that can be costly. The only consequence I really have is recess. Not sure of any other consequence I can use (at least at my school)...very small country school. I find myself spending a lot of time on discipline issues that need to be spent on learning. PLEASE GIVE ME OPINIONS AND IDEAS THAT HAVE WORKED FOR YOU!!!!
