I really hope this helps! What do you use to help control classroom chatter? Thanks in advance for any advice!!! All the cards go back on the board at 9:45 and 12:30.
Chitchat calling card free#
Right now.we are lucky enough to have 3 different times that the students will loose recess, Academic Free Choice, or computers during the day. If a student looses all 3 cards before recess he/she will have to stay in from recess and we will talk about what they need to do to fix it. Sometimes I will say why I am removing the card and sometimes I will just remove the card and keep teaching. If a student is talking while the teacher or another student is talking I will remove one of the red cards from his/her name on the chart. She used Velcro to put the cards on and off. Made professionally at a print shop.just thought you should know. I used post-it notes for the strips to pull off and on. No.Joking but I would like to share both. Now we have two charts to share visually with you! Now.you get to vote which one is better. The funny thing is.it is my student teacher's head week and last night she went home and made a chart for the classroom without telling me she was going to (good for her!) and I came to school early this morning to make one for her to surprise her. Because.learning should be fun and it is not going to be fun if the teacher sounds like.WOH~WOH~WOH.WOH~WOH! Oh ya.Academic Free Choice is getting a little loud, too! We decided to use this Chit~Chat Chart to visually remind our students when it is appropriate to talk and not talk. There is a whole "lotta" chatting going on during large group, small group, and table learning time.

My student teacher and I decided to call it a Chit~Chat Chart.

You may have heard or seen this chart as a.blurt chart.
