Time Out Corner

Mrs. Randall is having a classroom management linky party...check it out here:http://randalllearninglibrary.blogspot.com/2011/04/classroom-management-linky-party.html

Last summer I read the book Magic 1-2-3 and it has transformed my classroom. It's a very simple concept where you count children for behaviors you want to stop. If they get to a count of 3, you need to have a time out place for them to go to. I have time-out nook where they go for 7 or 8 minutes (1 minute for every year of their age), and in that nook is an ABC's of good citizenship poster for them to read. Rarely do students go beyond the count of 2!!!
