Classroom interruptions unfortunately occur. Do these affect your instruction? How do you get students back on track?
Classroom interruptions are the absolute WORST for sixth grade students, especially this group of sixth graders. They really enjoy talking and once they get off track, it is really really hard to get them back on track. I try to use my mentor teacher's classroom management strategy by counting down from five, but that doesn't always work for long periods. This affects my instruction greatly. These kids are so young that any distraction is a huge distraction! Luckily, there haven't been too many distractions thus far in the school year.. fingers crossed for the rest of the semester!
