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!)
A behavioral plan for an activity based reward would also help the students focus during lesson times. Also alternating get up and move activities with sit down and work activities can also reduce restlessness from sitting all day long. An example of this may be to incorporate a movement video that incorporate math. there are many educational videos that incorporate movement with a lesson. This would only take about 3 minutes, followed by some low volume calming music. The reward can be to earn a fun outdoor activity at the end of the week. |

| Comments: Alternating get up and move activities with sit down and work activities is a great way to expend excess energy. I would incorporate the videos with movement for each subject so the whole class was up and moving throughout the day. Soon the students will look forward to videos and come to expect them and increase positive behavior because they are engaged. |

| Comments: Reward systems are a great way to get students to focus, and young students need time to be active and move around. No one likes sitting in a desk all day. |

| Comments: This is great. It challenges the whole class instead of targeting and alienating just the problem students. |
