attention getters
By jjj

Clip to ScrapBook   
One teacher at our school has a windchime suspended in the middle of her class-- out of reach of kids-- when she hits it, they know to freeze and listen

A 4th grade teacher has a frog shaped clicker on her desk that she clicks 3x to get attention

Another teacher starts singing a song-- kids join in and there are 3 claps at the end. By the time she gets to the claps everyone is with her and looking at her attentively.
