I don't know about you or your class, but every year about this time my students start to get a little squirrely. I don't know if it is Spring Fever, or the anticipation of summer coming so soon, but they just seem to forget all of the rules!
I always have to become a little stricter, give many reminders, and pull some new tricks out of my hat to keep those darlings working hard (we have tests coming up soon!).
This year I have made some reflection sheets for my students to fill out when they receive more than one reminder from me about their behavior.
With conferences coming up soon, they really don't like filling these out knowing that their parents will see them. You can see an example of a filled one out below (along with my interpretations for you!).
I have uploaded these as a freebie to my TpT store in case you have a case of the squirrels in your class too!
What tips and tricks do you have up your sleeve for dealing with spring fever behavior?
Love this sheet! I think it is the perfect way to get students to think about their behavior and it also acts as a settling activity to help them get refocused. Thanks so much for the freebie!
