We have been having a huge problem with control and quieting the students when we are all in the cafeteria for snack time. We do rewards and have a behavior system it just doesn't seem to be working. Any advice on how to maintain the noise level and get control over the students is appreciated. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I love the practice of modeling the noise level you want to hear. If you want it quite speak softer. If you want it loud pump up the classroom energy.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I feel like this would not work with this many kids.

It is important to set expectations and rules so that the students know that when they are inside with other groups, since that means there will be a lot of students inside, they need to be respectful and talk to their table mates at a low voice level as to not be too loud.
