Counselor's Corner with Mr. Biolo
Can you believe that Thanksgiving has already come and gone? The school year is moving pretty fast here at Woodland Elementary and there is a lot of great learning going on.
As we approach the holiday season, we like to include some fun learning activities in the classroom. While this can be a fun way to learn, and exciting for our students, it can also be a time that students may get overly excited and chatty. While we want the children to enjoy themselves, excessive talking can disrupt class activities. Following are some tips on encouraging positive behavior:
- Set clear expectations at home about appropriate voice levels and not interrupting others. Use brief role plays to practice.
- Praise your child when they demonstrate good listening and speaking habits.
- Remind your child that talking out of turn in the classroom can be very distracting.
- Brainstorm incentives or rewards they can earn by following classroom rules.
- Ensure your child gets plenty of activity and movement breaks throughout the day to release pent-up energy.
The goal is to reinforce positive discussion habits while redirecting negative ones. We want the classroom to be an environment where all students can learn and participate. Please reach out if you have any concerns or questions!
