Our district is trying to develop some standardized behavior standards. I like teaching the procedures and having clear expectations for school situations: cafeteria, hallways, dismissal, etc. I gave up rewards a few years ago when I discovered Discipline Without Stress (it will change the way you think:) Anyway, they started with some voice level guidelines. It really does help the students gauge their own behaviors. The posters we got are a little (a lot) wordy. Too much for kindergartners for sure. Here is a little chart I made for my class. It has been a BIG help so far. Who knew? I ask them to show with their fingers what voice level they are using. So far so great. Make your own: Voice Levels Poster
Does your school behaviour policy waste valuable learning time, or set inexperienced teachers up to fail? Either way, how you know?

Our world is in desperate need of more bucket fillers. Whether we're parents, caregivers, or educators, it's our job to be positive role models and to help children work toward peace and kindness. “If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.” Mahatma Gandhi “The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.” Mahatma Gandhi I have a whole category of character education posts with ideas for encouraging peace and kindness.

Millennials, een generatie die zich onderscheidt door technologiegebruik. Over de millennials-generatie is al genoeg geschreven. Ik zal het in deze post niet hebben over hun afschuw van een traditionele corporate job, dat deze groep over een paar jaar de belangrijkste consumptiegroep wordt en dat ze gaan voor toegang tot services in plaats van ownership. De generatie …

I don't know how many times I have heard this from substitute and special area teachers, but it has definitely been too many! And I am determined to win this battle! So, where do you go when you need ideas? Pinterest, of course! I made up some "Quiet Spray!" You spray the ROOM to signal children to get quiet. Or you can just leave the bottle empty. Mine love the mist in the air. It is so funny! {I do not condone spraying a child! As much as you might want to! Ha! ;)} Original Idea I had to have some quiet critters! They are so cute! I give them incentive tickets with it. Our school participates in a School Wide Positive Behavior Support program, and we use cub cash as an incentive. They can cash it in at our cub store. This is my "on task" container with the critters. I always change out my prizes. This month I am using crazy straws {from the Dollar Tree}. You would think they were gold the way they carry on about them! Ha! They really want them! They even take it to lunch and drink their milk with it! So funny! Original Quiet Critter Idea I have uploaded these FREEBIES onto TPT, because Google Docs has not been very cooperative lately. :( Click the pic below to download the crazy straw labels. Click below to download the other quiet labels, along with some pep cards. Hand the student the card to redirect. When they have read it, they flip it over and you can then pick it up. You can redirect a child without having to stop and interrupt learning! Love these during observations! What do you do to keep your class quiet? I must say these are working for the most part; my little ones just need lots of reminders! On a sidenote {and mainly to make myself accountable!}, I am working on a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory math and literacy unit. Be on the lookout! I also can't wait to share what we did for Valentine's Day last year. I will save that for another post. MLK Jr. Day is coming up! Here is the little display I did last year. I found it here. Students wrote and then typed what they wanted to be when they grew up. I can't wait to see what everyone else plans on doing! Have a fabulous Friday! ~The Lemonade Stand Teachers
