Invite
a productive "hum" of student voices.
Allow
children to move around the room, and relax their
muscles (particularly their shoulders). You might
allow students to stretch out while you read aloud.
Avoid
competitive games - opt for cooperative games
instead.
Show
samples of quality work to help students see that
finishing first isn't what counts.
Provide
paper many different types of paper - some lined
some unlined.
Encourage
students often. Give specific positive feedback
so students will repeat the behaviors.
This
is the time for lots of phonemic awareness exercises.
Help them break their ideas down into smaller
bites. Set small and reasonable goals so they
can meet them with success.
Provide
time for student input during meetings.
Have
students share their ideas with the person sitting
next to them - they love to talk and will learn
through listening to others.
