Noise Level

Hi, I too am a second year teacher who is struggling with the noise. Last year's class was very good at staying on task. This year's kids cannot stop talking. I took an idea from my nieces's teacher. I write the words| FUN FRIDAY on the board. If the class misbehaves or gets too noisy I erase a letter. As long as all the letters are on the board we have a half hour of FUN FRIDAY activities at the end of the day on Friday. Every time we transition from one activity to another I award a point to the table that is ready first. THe group with the most points on Friday has first choice of the activities | |
on FUN FRIDAY. THey can use the flash cards, play a fraction game, write a story or letter, use the story or poem magnets, read a book or do word puzzles. They do a much better job settling down now and the noise level is much more managable.
