Yesterday on my video I shared with you how I was dealing with some talkative sixth-graders, and I am here to report that my plan worked! Today the girls were awesome! Also today, I went over some more rules and consequences. I tried to use the lightest most fun tone possible while still being clear with my points so that they would understand how things work. I used comedy whenever I could in order to drive home major areas of importance.
One of my philosophies is to be fun but firm. I believe that we have to help children want to work with us. I think my mother used to say it best… You get more bees with honey than vinegar. :)
I hope your day was great with your middle school children!
