I've started a sticker type plan today..It worked well in 2 of the classes, moderately in one class, and a tiny bit in the last...I'll call that a success...Also, planning some more hands-on activities...The language barrier makes any long-term consequences difficult to explain.Penny Jansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10018407739432074946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413890118275211798.post-58714134108863535052011-09-26T10:53:11.281-07:002011-09-26T10:53:11.281-07:00In Charlie's class, the kids get tickets for g...In Charlie's class, the kids get tickets for good behavior and every friday there is a "store" where they can buy things with their tickets. Each students also has small red, yellow and green cards. The cards are originally at green but can get turned to yellow or red with bad behavior. Good behavior gets it turned back to green. There is some kind of consequence if the card is yellow or red a the end of the day (fewer tickets, maybe). I think some kind of instant reward system might work well.

Do ...With my guys, the secret is always engagement. Do something really interesting- a volcano with baking soda and soda water, a tornado in a bottle, ooblock (that squishy stuff you make in a bag), origami frogs that actually hop, cooking something really simply, e.g instant pudding. The boys want to do that stuff, so they move in closer and stop screwing around, at least most of them do. And once they have done it once, you establish some kind of point system, where they can do a special something again once they get a certain number of points- it has to be fairly quickly, like once a week. See if that will work.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.com
