So I love when we have this course in Beaver Creek and in one of the conferences they taught us about a classroom management, it was so simple, just choose a song for one activity for your kids, for example:
When they have to show to the teacher their journals, one teacher chose a song for that time.
So, I had a hard time when my kids have to line up....and I choose a song. "Share" by Jack Johnson. It works perfect, they hear the beginning and they move so quick that it is amazing, when they get all together in a perfect line, they start moving their heads and when in the song they start to clap they clap with the music. IT JUST AWESOME! I wish I could record it.
P.S: My kids rock!
You need to video tape this! It would be so fun to share this idea with other teachers. I would be happy to capture it on video. Just let me know. TFS. :)
