Some Classroom Management Strategies
"Calm Jar"Fill the jar with colored water and glitter. When a student is upset they shake the jar and have to watch it until the glitter completely settles. The time it takes is enough time for them to settle their emotions.
"Bouncy Balls"This website shows bouncy balls on a screen - balls move as the classroom gets louder. http://neave.com/bouncy-balls/ |
"Warm Fuzzy"When students are caught being kind they get a "warm fuzzy" to put in the jar. When the jar is full have a class party!
