I have the same problem with my 3-4 year old class. I have mostly boys and about four of them are loud, extremely active, and tend to play rough and aggressive. I’ve found that separating them into groups works and seating them at different tables at meals and snacks. Since they always like to play together I let them know that if things get out of hand with noise and roughness that I will move them to separate centers or have them each take a tub of toys and play alone. As for the noise I try to keep an open mind. If they are playing nice but simply getting a bit loud I say something like “you all are playing so nice and I love it that your having fun but you are hurting Ms. Ceri’s ears.Can you take your voices down to level 2 please ( we have a voice level chart on the wall).
