Case: Boys Will Be Boys
There must have been a baby boom of boys a few years ago! Our fourth grade classes are majority boys. In my class, I have 7 girls and 18 boys. This dynamic has been difficult to balance. I have noticed the boys are very talkative and playful (sometimes very disruptive). How can I tailor my plans to appease the boys as well as the girls interest? What are some daily techniques I can try to get the boys more focused and less playful?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Yes, this is common with classrooms that are majority boys. I think one great way to reduce the energy level of your class is by doing a morning activity that requires movement like dancing. When planning activities schedule time for a break so that your students can move around. I find that the boys often have trouble sitting still, and this is great way to help them. |

| Comments: This is definitely a good idea. Students who can't sit still will not focus well so giving them the chance to move around during breaks will allow them to expend some energy. Incorporating music or movement for lessons also helps students to release some energy and calm down. |

| Comments: I agree! For some crazy reason boys are full of energy and adventure maybe doing a wiggle dance or activity and a system to get out that disruptive playfulness. Also maybe discussing there is their time and then classroom teacher learning time and they need to know the differences and control their behaviors. |
