When the kids see the others getting up to go to the rug, they are usually quick to close their mouths and join us. :) Other times I'll just start reading the book right there. As this is my all else fails method - it usually means I'm pretty p.o.'d. So, I always follow up with the frustration talk. Usually they are very understanding and better listeners for a few weeks! Other ideas: Teach your class a poem - post it and start to recite it when they're chatty, they'll join in. Skip count - by 2s, 3s, 5s, etc. It's a great way to get them used to skip counting too! And by the time some of the talkative students join in they're getting practice in the higher numbers - which is what we all need! Wait, don't ever talk over them. You are important and deserve to be heard!
