Do you find yourself overwhelmed by a noisy classr Do you find yourself overwhelmed by a noisy classroom full of students?

Have you ever tried Bouncy Balls? It is a wonderful site to help students quite literally see how loud they are. 

The balls bounce as it picks up noise from the room. If students get too loud, the words too noisy pop up on the screen so they can see! 

They love it! It’s such an engaging and easy tool. I also love to have music playing and tell students that they can’t have a higher volume than the music or I will turn it off. 

That’s been a pretty big motivator for students as well. Especially when they get to help choose the songs! 😉

Have you tried Bouncy Balls? What other tricks and tips do you have for a chatty class? Let us know below! ⬇️

Is spring fever in full effect in your classroom?! Is spring fever in full effect in your classroom?! 

March can be one of the HARDEST months of the year. It seems like everyone has finally gotten in their groove and then BAM! Spring fever hits!

Don’t worry though! There are some quick and easy ideas that can be implemented TOMORROW to help tackle that pesky spring fever. 

🌟 Move learning outside when you can! Whether you have a game of scoot or simply read, the change of scenery will really help with engagement. 

🌟 Tired of talking over students? Use attention getters instead! They are simple, easy, and sure to get their attention.

🌟 Have you tried whole class rewards? Students will love working together to build things like a flower or rocket ship  to earn a reward! You can incentivize with FREE things like extra recess, no shoes day, pj day, and more!

🌟 One of the biggest ways to tackle that extra energy is with built in movement activities! These can be as simple as extra brain breaks, move it game slides, hula hoop blending, galley walk, and more!
