They will learn to work quietly. They will learn to work quietly. They will learn to work quietly. We have the cutest, most adorable, sweetest, MOST talkative class ever. For the past 12 days, there has been only one way to get them to be quiet. Don't take a teacher breath! Ever! It was making us light headed... So, we've been putting our tired brains together, and today we started something that we hope will stick! We use the old popsicle stick trick for tons of activities throughout the ... VIEW POST
