  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 am not sure if you have a morning routine in your classroom, but that is where I would start to address this issue. I have always greeted students as they walked into the classroom. I have their agenda information presented using the ELMO and they copy the needed information into their agendas. When they finish, they read quietly until the class bell rings and we begin our day. I also have them leave their agenda out so I can check it before they put it away. Having this system and structure helps them. (Lower level grade in elementary school.)
