  Case: Very loud student
Mrs. Smith is a very calm and loving teacher. She has just received a new student to her classroom. This student was obviously allowed to yell out and blurt out at will at her old school. Mrs. Smith and her class, being a very quiet group is concerned that this young lady is not going to acclimate to the new environment without some sort of negative feelings from the student. What is the best way to handle this young lady?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is important to talk to the new student and discuss the classroom policy on inside voices. However, sometimes children are loud. Maybe the teacher can come out of the comfort zone a bit and have some activities in the room that allow for it to be a little noisy. This way the child can see the importance of quiet work but still be allowed to be herself at the appropriate times. Music would be an excellent way to do this. Play a song about the lesson and let students sing and dance to it.
