I am so glad that you and Brent work so closely together in terms of planning and teaching. It makes for transitioning to other classrooms smoothly. I am able to use the same discipline because it is what they know from all the switches. Along with that, I am thankful for the Give me a T and Red Paw system at Bursley. This makes management in other grades such as Spanish Immersion or Julies first and second graders. The speaking softly and waiting till I have everyone has really increased their learning time as well as their focus. They know that it is time to learn and while I am teaching it is under control. I am struggling with transitions and getting them to focus at the beginning. It is time to learn and not chat with friends or sit at the wrong seats. When talking with classmates, it seems that a few others are struggling with this time as well. In fact that is what some of them did on their Action Research project. Any suggestions?
As far as those who are causing trouble, I am finally feeling that I am reigning them in. It is not quite there but getting there. I know that I still need to be firm in where I stand.
