So pretty please, share your wisdom with me!!!!!!! I am sure there is more, but I am drained. I just need to find out what they are willing to work for! I have made a sticker-chart for 2 of my students who are working on keeping their hands and feet to themselves. On the flip side, parents have already been called. Positive reinforcements and praises are given as often as possible to ALL students.

Students move clip, are ignored, talked to 1-on-1 or sent to the office based on the incident. Some have hit others, one punches himself, another throws a crying fit. Only one student does this, but it is difficult! I have yet to find what my seven love and will work for. Students that are doing the appropriate thing are always given “cool cash” (school-wide incentive) and/or move their pin up! I also have Mel D’s fabulous that my attentive students love. Head up (student repeats) Hands on your head (repeat) Eyes on me (repeat).Teacher sings, “Everyone do what I’m doing…” while touching nose, or head, etc.Teacher whispers “if you can hear me put your hands on your shoulders” and repeats whispers with other movements until whole class is paying attention.My kids are at the emergent level when it comes to mastering CHAMPS voice levels 0 and 1. We have tried counting down to 0 and they still talk to each other. We have tried waiting and waiting and they still talk to one another. Give me 5 may as well be a joke in my class. We use Give me Five and CHAMPS school-wide. somehow, they all ended up in my classroom this year. Yes, I went to their respective kinder teachers and they all had the same challenges there…. The challenges I am having overlap with many of the students. (The Police anyone?) and I need to know, what is in your bag of tricks?!?!?Ī little background & what I’ve tried already: I am not and never have been a “Negative Nancy,” I just feel as though I have used everything in my “bag of tricks” to get them to listen/follow directions already and it is only week 1! But, it is not working.Įvery year there are those bright-eyed cuties that can be challenging in classroom, but this year, I have 7.Īll with their own story and background that contribute to why they are the way they are. We are creating a structure in our classroom so we can begin focusing on our academics. I know this is the first week and we are setting the rules and expectations.
