  4. Can’t We All Just Get Along? • Girls are sensitive and emotional. This may include: crying, eye rolling, lip smacking, and especially ATTITUDE • Is it genuine or attention seeking? YOU DECIDE, and will be able to tell the difference.

  5. The Key is Consistency • Display classroom rules • Reinforce classroom rules • Consequences • Positive reinforcement • Lunch in the classroom • Enrichment Activities on Friday • Verbal Praise!

  6. Classroom Samples You have been visited by the Desk Fairy

  7. Developing Positive Relationships • Social Skills Lessons • Work through present issues or problems that the students are having with each other in the class, through: • Teacher read stories, such as Mr. Peabody’s Apples by Madonna and Rhinos and Raspberries by Teaching Tolerance • Mr. Migorum’s Wonder Emporium movie • Role playing • Sharing personal stories • Incorporating “Talk Time” into the schedule • Provides girls to socialize with their peers for a designated period of time.

  8. M.Y.O.B. • Very inquisitive and can be great during various curricular activities • Think they need to know Who?What?When?Where?Why?How? • HOWEVER, girls also need to be taught: • How to be a good listener and active participate in a conversation • How to ask questions focused on the topic being discussed • When to share personal experiences and when they’ve shared too much

  9. Minimizing the Chatter • During small group activities, have the teacher select the group members • Mix the abilities and personalities, but monitor their interactions. • Incorporate music into curricular activities and during ‘artsy’ activities • May be used to signal transitions • For “Brain Break” activities • Allow movement during small group and paired activities • Laying on the carpet or mats • Sitting in someone else’s desk, under the desk or tables

  10. Creating Team Players • Incorporate cooperative learning opportunities whenever possible. This includes: whole group, small group, and paired activities. • Teacher designated groups • Explain the consequences of inappropriate group activities • Role play appropriate interaction with group members • Provide students with a detailed description of the assignment, along with an example

  11. Reinforcing Positive Teamwork Positive praise from the teacher is NUMBER 1. • Display teams in a highly visible area. • Award points for appropriate, on-task behavior for groups • At the end of a designated period of time, the team with the most points will be awarded: lunch with the teacher, prizes from the goody box, “No Homework” pass, etc..

  12. Benefits of Teams Less Repetition from Teacher + Increased on-task behavior Peers encourage each other • Do not view each other as competition • Learn to motivate others • Problem solve on their own A child that is learning
