  Case: in the morning
Students in the morning seem to have a hard time getting started. They need to be constantly redirected and dont get their morning work complete because they are off task.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would stick to a strict routine, starting with greeting students at the door. I'd also have the agenda and a prepared activity written on the board. If necessary, remind students of class rules and the procedure for entering the classroom. The main thing is to reinforce this routine.

Comments: I agree this is what I would do. I would add as a consequence have students sit out at recess to reinforce the off task behavior during morning work.

Comments: I think using a routine is a great idea, once the class gets used to the routine, they should automatically follow it, plus it allows them to know ahead of time what is going to happen, which seems to make kids calm when their is stability.
