[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if you know anyone from the elementary level you can reach out to, or a mentor at that level? I know you're at MS but they are transitioning and some of the behavior strategies I use with 5th might work with older kiddos, too--a call and response Chang that indicates they have to focus, for example (we use "watch me whip/watch me nae nae" right now),[b]using a timer to transition--and if they do it in less time than is allotted, they earn a minute towards a game or activity at the end of the week, etc. [/quote][/b] I used this idea a few years ago with a group of students that would not stop talking. I worked like a charm. It only took one week for them to figure out that time at the end of the week to play games was really worth quick transitions and being quiet so we could get to work. They played simple games like cards or checkers or we would play a group game like 7 Up, Hangman or Pictionary.[/quote]
