Spring Fever
1. Be on time for your students. When you arrive late you throw off their schedule.
2. Have materials ready, when they are waiting for copies or for materials to get prepared, we are inviting off task behaviors.
3. Take some time to review procedures for your class, hallway, lunch and recess.
4. Actively monitor when students are working in your class. Stay in the powerzone(near the kids). You can hear conversations and deter conflict if you hear it at the beginning right when it starts.
5. Keep teaching, keep it engaging, use some of the engagement strategies we have discussed.
6. Don't dismiss students into the hallway alone. I am encountering way too many students going through the hallways.
Together we can make it a smooth last few weeks of school.
