My color coded chart tells children what voice level is expected when I hang a certain color “ large paper crayon “ on the big wall. I have talked to them about this and they know that when I have the green crayon hanging ( which is most of the day) they need to use an inside voice. This works pretty well for most of the children but I have a couple part time boys that tend to get noisy and jumpy and other children feed off them. I can tell a difference on the days these children are in class.
Maybe I just have a low tolerance for noise as the teacher next door has yet to open my door and yell at my class.
