Madam Yee's Year Two class are an energetic and enthusiastic group! When it's time for pupils to volunteer to answer a question or take part in an activity their response is overwhelming and at times a little disruptive...
Madam Yee has found a way to combat this problem.
This may appear to be just an envelope but it is actually a successful tool in combating the problem of over enthusiastic pupils!
All the pupils in the class have their names written on slips of paper which are folded and put into the envelope.
When it's time to choose an individual pupil the teacher chooses a name from the envelope.
Pupils eagerly anticipated who would be called upon and disagreements over who should be chosen came to an end.
A great tip for those teachers who's pupils' energy and spirited interest can sometimes prove to be disruptive...it's also a simple and objective way to include those who avoid centre stage :)
Nice one!
