I would use the same system for the 7th and 8th graders too, I think it will work just fine and it will be a lot easier for you to manage and stay consistent with if you're keeping track of one system instead of 2.

I am teaching grades 2-8 and am wondering if I should use the same system or have a different one for the older kids. Thanks in advance for your insight!

I drew on the lines for the white keys with a permanent marker :) I use magnets for each class to move up the keys.Elizabeth Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042281726294433770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819722186267743707.post-75043470523735266842019-08-15T19:32:56.168-04:002019-08-15T19:32:56.168-04:00Hi Elizabeth-

I'd love to try this system this year for my class :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411540790570687458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819722186267743707.post-10454236009240294272018-09-06T05:02:41.699-04:002018-09-06T05:02:41.699-04:00Nope, it is not too late to introduce a new system...Nope, it is not too late to introduce a new system! Just set it up and then introduce it to the students as, "here's the new system we're going to be using from this point forward". No need to dwell on why you're implementing something new or make it sound like the implementation of the system is a punishment for their poor behavior. If anyone asks you why you're starting a new system, just tell them you decided it was a good idea. I implemented it mid-year myself when I first started. I'm happy to help however else I can- email me at caldwellorganizedchaos @ gmail.com any time if you want to chat further! Hope it goes well :)Elizabeth Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042281726294433770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819722186267743707.post-1198343537228029352018-09-06T04:57:06.300-04:002018-09-06T04:57:06.300-04:00Thanks for reading!Thanks for reading!Elizabeth Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042281726294433770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819722186267743707.post-39997140552972344532018-09-05T08:23:09.736-04:002018-09-05T08:23:09.736-04:00Hi Elizabeth!

I had kind of an implementation question, I guess. Since we are already a month into school, I am afraid that I am letting some of the classes walk over me, particularly 4th and 5th graders (especially since I have 30 in every class!). Is it too late for me to introduce something like the music velcro letters? If not, how would recommend I introduce that technique? If yes, what other strategies would you suggest? <br /><br />In addition, and just to give you some context, my main issue is with one fifth grade class in particular, and every other 4th and 5th grade class can just sometimes get a little out of hand with disruptive talking and things of that nature.
