Three critical ingredients to a successful school year:
1. Establish Rituals
2. Establish Routines
3. Build Relationships
Good class rituals are thoughtful, short, prearranged events. They are:
1. 100% Dependable
2. Simple
3. Engage EVERYONE
4. End in a positive state
5. Solve a recurring problem
Examples of Rituals:
Quiet signals - Clap, Clap, Whoosh
Turn to your partner and say: "Let's have a great day!" Songs: Line up (We are the class, the mighty quiet class, Ms. _____'s class, Ms. _______'s class) Thank you Mrs. Russell for sharing!
