Hahaha... I know what you mean... I don't exactly want to freak out at my 7th graders, but I just want them to sit down and be quiet for more than 30 seconds. I have them right after their lunch - I think that might be part of the problem.

Ah...what a good note to come home to. I had zombies for the first half of the day and then chatterboxes. I planned for 10 hours over the weekend, and I still don't have everything ready for the entire week....and don't even get me started on how much grading I have to do!!

Have you tried SSR for about 15 minutes? You have to do it too(that's the catcher)...we do that at the HS where I teach and it really calms them down. We didn't do it my first year, and we've been doing it now for 3...it's awesome. =) And it doesn't matter if you're not an English teacher...with all the Reading across the curriculum stuff just have them take out a good book and start reading...I also have my kids bring in books to keep on my shelves for others, they get one extra credit point per book and I have the ability to say no to their book so I don't get stuff like BSC and goosebumps.

PM me with questions.

You think working with 7th graders is bad , try working with 2 yrs all day like I do. I certainly feel your pain

eta: I love your signature line.

Usually, that's when most students begin to wind down. At least some HSers do.
