If my class comes in noisy I just have them line up at the door, and release them back to the tables with the word "go". It's amazing how calming this is, and you can just feel the environment of the room change after doing this. I feel like it puts the control back in my hands, and I only have to say five words ("lets do it again" and "go"). Thank you so much for all of the advice, it is transforming my teaching!

They are to get in line when their table number is called quietly, face the front of the line and to give no ups or backs in line. I have had them go back to sit down and retry again sometimes up to 4 or 5 times. It finally pays off and at the same time it calms me while releasing stress.

I do this without emotion or comment. The students very quickly improve their writing dramatically. I don't know why I never made the jump to using this same technique with their behaviors. Thanks for helping me to see how effective this technique is more clearly! I have had amazing success with penmanship by circling each and every mistake that is made early on in the year.
