Case: Pencils!
My students are constantly sharpening pencils in the classroom. I started them off the school year with individual pencils and bag, but this method doesn't seem to work. They get up during every block of the day. What do you suggest I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In my classroom I have a class rule that pencils are sharpened only once a day. Each student must have two yellow No. 2 pencils sharpened before the bell rings. This is a part of my classroom management plan. If a pencil breaks during instruction, students must use their second or "backup pencil". If a students somehow breaks another lead, they can ask a table mate that is willing to separate with their pencils. This has made my students more responsible. I know it sounds harsh, but it has been working like a charm in my room. None of my students would dare to ask aloud for a pencil during instruction or walk over to our electric sharpener. My students typically resolve this matter on their own for the sake of me finding out someone is not prepared for class. When students need pencils replaced because they are to small to sharpen, they must turn in that pencil for a new one. This is only done at about 2 weeks. Pencils are literally a non-factor in my room. I hope this helps. Good Luck! |
