I bought Harry Wong's book as well. Overall, I enjoyed it and have implemented many of his ideas in my class. Since you are dealing with the 1st and 2nd graders, I think the book would be excellent for you. I haven't been able to use all of the ideas because I just didn't think they would work in 7/8th grade.
Even with my 7/8th grade, I bought a bike bell that has the most annoying pitch to it. So if it gets too loud, I ring the bell. Everyone shudders and stops what they are doing immediatly.
