Quiet, Please! A Tip for Classroom Management

Happy Tuesday!  With the start of a new school year, comes the challenge of getting a new group of kids used to sitting quietly; ready to learn.  Many of us are facing larger classes, making it even harder to get all of them “with” you.  Today’s Tuesday Teaching tip is a little poem to help get your students focused and ready to listen on the carpet.

Open them, shut them.

Open them, shut them.

Give a little clap, clap, clap.

Open them, shut them.

Open them, shut them,

Fold them in your lap.

How do you encourage your students to be ready to learn?  Please share your ideas and have a peaceful day!
