12-Sided Fidget Cube
The 12-Sided Fidget Cube is a perfect tool for students who have trouble focusing or are dealing with anxiety. There are 12 different sides with different fidgets that the students can use.
K-2nd
Quiet Coyote
Quiet coyote is used to get the classes attention when they are working on an assignment and it may be loud in the classroom. It is an easy signal to show that their eyes need to be on the teacher, their ears are open and listening, and their mouths are closed. This is used if you need to tell the class something quick and then they get back to work. This tool is not really a transition tool.
Chimes for Transitions
Chimes can be used as a musical signal for classroom transitions. Because each bar plays a tone, the sound is soothing to student brains. At the same time, the pitches easily cut through classroom noise—facilitating quick, orderly transitions.
Natural Consequences
Natural consequences are the outcomes or the consequence that happens as a result of the behavior. They are not preplanned consequences the teacher has in place if something happens. This tool is helpful because the consequence will naturally happen and be connected with the actual misbehavior, therefore it will make sense to the child.
Tap Your Need
This tool is to show students that they all have needs and throughout the day as things get tough their classmates might struggle with them. As a class when they need a hug, high five, or positive comment they can tap the sign in the classroom and another classmate who also has the same need can give it to them.
Following Through on consequences
Following through with consequences is a tool used that can be used to correct students when they are misbehaving. As a class at the begging of the school year we set class rules and as class when those rules are broken we are set consequences because we broke them.
Morning Talk
Morning talk name can be used every morning, when students come in, they are asked to have a seat in a circle on the floor. Then one by one they go around saying what their name is or what they would like to get called for the day. This gives the teacher a sense of how the student is feeling and what they might have going on.
Cool Down Cubes
Cool down cubes are a simple tool made from reusable ice cubes to help students who become emotional and need help calming back down. Each cube has a different “safe cool down strategy” that the child can complete to aid in bringing their emotions back into control.
Tootling
Tootling is the opposite of tattling and allows students to write down nice things about their classmates. This tool promotes positive thoughts and attitudes in the classroom instead of focusing on why negativity is bad.
Student Computer Logins
This tool is a collection of paint chip cards which is used to keep track of student’s login information for school computers and accounts. Each student gets their own strip, and they will know where to find it so if they ever forget their login, they can easily check to remember.
