Another aspect of my classroom involves classroom management. We discuss and interactive model various routines and then have a poster or other visual to help us remember our expectations.
We discussed and wrote our rules together. Students worked in groups and then we brought all of their ideas to the whole group. We noticed which rules were similar and then we reworded any that needed to be stated positively. Lastly, students signed them.
We post the Common Core Reading standards and the MN math standards. Then we also do content and language objectives. We call them target goals. They are written in student-friendly terms.
We say "Show Five" to get their attention. They made this poster at the beginning of the year after we interactive modeled the routine. Other ways I get student attention is da-dada-da-da--they respond da-da. I also do yo-yo-yo-yo-yo--and they respond the same way. There are other cultural relevant attention getters as well.
