Without management and organization...you can't get anywhere with kids. It doesn't matter how old they are...kids like rewards and especially the ones that don't cost a dime. Hell, I like rewards! Watch out...they are going to write a Freedom Writers book and movie about you titled PAT. And then..."Its Pat" just jumped in my head. Certainly there's a GIF for that! LOL! <br />I had to come back in and edit because the captcha just wanted me to type in: 1 booopin Funny!<br />Alison<br /><a href="http://www.rockinandlovinlearnin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Rockin' and Lovin' Learnin'</a>Alison Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353164628345963175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784794633665115038.post-40632168841554366802013-08-15T22:00:44.368-05:002013-08-15T22:00:44.368-05:00Hola, fellow Austinite!

Your situation sounds moderately similar to mine (although I teach HS), but sometimes it's just such an accomplishment to get them to do their work without talking that I want to acknowledge that! I'm going to try to do something similar to you this year using Class Dojo (check it out if you don't know about it!). I just wrote about it today for the Teacher Week linkup, if you wanna check it out! <br /><br />Anyway, let's be friends (as your blog says!)! Love your blog (what I've looked through) - it's nice reading someone's blog where I can get such a clear idea of their personality! <br /><br />Mia<br />http://classyteacherlady.blogspot.com/ (But really, go look!)Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939198881259108275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784794633665115038.post-74486176426066106282013-08-15T19:13:34.265-05:002013-08-15T19:13:34.265-05:00Great tips here!

My 8th graders had a thing about being first in line to lunch (because they ALWAYS ran out of the good stuff about half way through the lines) and the busses after school. So, I used the timer trick with the two classes I had before those times. As many seconds as my timer would say, they would have to stay after the bell. They HATED it, and I LOVED it! Of course, I couldn't use it with my first block because they'd be late for another class... but 2 out of 3 ain't bad! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118204814132341267noreply@blogger.com
