They must feel more comfortable. I work with kinder strugglers, and they always feel the need to talk during my time with them. But in their class, they don't make a peep.

Funniest thing...He is up on the shelf and watching the students (preK4) consult out loud with him as if he were real IS A HOOT. Benefit to me is that I could still overhear what the problem was in case it really did need to be dealt with....thanks so much :)Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563190581050744599.post-70456178300464111392012-08-23T21:33:59.752-04:002012-08-23T21:33:59.752-04:00Denise, At the beginning you may need to give just...Denise, At the beginning you may need to give just a "look" as a reminder, but quickly move to just removing the magnet. If you find that one child is causing them to come off, we make them their own set of magnets to keep on the floor in front of them. They catch on rather quickly and we usually only have to remove one or two for them to get the idea. We also start over with all 5 magnets each time we come to the carpet.Kim and Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856036647758322972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563190581050744599.post-50271082914550271562012-08-18T20:37:44.099-04:002012-08-18T20:37:44.099-04:00So if all the magnets are off and children are sti...So if all the magnets are off and children are still interupting what do you do?

It is more of a "let's try and keep them all up". If you have one child who is causing you to lose them all, maybe put that child on their own set of pieces on the floor in front of them. Megan did 5 monkeys for a child who continued to have problems. At the end of the day, she worked out a special plan depending on how many monkeys he had left.Kim and Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856036647758322972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563190581050744599.post-30153889892410206682012-06-19T19:20:23.678-04:002012-06-19T19:20:23.678-04:00I have the same question Tracy has what happens as...I have the same question Tracy has what happens as you take off the magnetic pieces?

During readers and writers workshop I teach them that "good readers" and "good writers" work the whole time. I teach them what to do when they "think" they are finished. I do have anchor charts on my website with some of that info. Also, we build stamina. So at the beginning of the year they may only be "working" for 5-10 minutes. And ever so slowly we build to 45 minutes! The extra time at the beginning of the year is shifted to more free choice center time and we also rest for 30 minutes the first 6 weeks of school. When we are doing group work, my kids don't have a table or desk spot. We do all that kind of work on the carpet together. They have a lap board. This is the reason for the carpet bags. Whenever we are making lists or any of the other morning type work, we are doing those together. If they get behind while we are writing, I just tell them not to worry about that one. I would rather them be actively helping stretch out the words than just copying from the chart. My kids sit in rows on the carpet. And the front row is for those that might have a hard time keeping up or behaving! Hope this helps some.<br />kimKim and Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856036647758322972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563190581050744599.post-24608022369095395962011-09-21T01:45:30.793-04:002011-09-21T01:45:30.793-04:00thanks Kim for your response.

Each group has a different have to. Once they finish their have to, they choose from either a literacy center if it is literacy time or a math center if it is math time. These are open ended with several choices. So, they are really never done.<br />Kids that fidget need something in their hands. Check with your OT teacher (it may be a district person). They should be able to supply you with some things. I am actually going to put some pictures of some things that my daughter in law uses in a post this week.Kim and Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856036647758322972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563190581050744599.post-40780614579477617362011-09-18T12:37:12.935-04:002011-09-18T12:37:12.935-04:00Love all of these ideas!

I have a question about what do you have your students do as an early finisher when they are at their tables and have finished their independent work, activity, or what ever? I struggle with this, i want them to work on something independently, quietly, not to disturb the others or myself but yet be productive and applying their knowledge and learning. Please give me some ideas! Also i have a few that struggle keeping their hands to themselves do you have some type of behavior management idea for this that you do?Leslyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05386209485203598912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563190581050744599.post-18714478028539192662011-09-13T11:02:21.372-04:002011-09-13T11:02:21.372-04:00I L-O-V-E the happy rocks!
