  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!)
Establish a morning routine. That way students know what to expect. Greet each student at the door, let them take a seat and chat with their friends for a few minutes, and then let them begin morning work. Students want to talk about what their night or weekend was like. So give them a few minutes to do so while they are waiting for the day to start. But once the bell rings their attention is on morning work at hand. A consistent schedule has students knowing everyday what they should be doing and what is expected. But remind them that talk time in the morning is a privilege. If they can not respect that then it will be taken away.
