I would think many children would consider misbehavior themselves in order to get a box.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478530029042559336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19633781853053158.post-26705509100262208752014-05-25T03:20:29.248-05:002014-05-25T03:20:29.248-05:00This is a lovely idea.

I don't have children with severe behavior issues, but I do have some that are more gifted, they finish their work quickly and are difficult to keep quiet during activities, since they are so easily bored. I do have a question, though. I don't know about kids from other parts of the world, but here, in Romania, in my school, they are all very curious and if a kid gets something, the others will want that something, too and they will keep asking why is their classmate getting stuff that they aren't. So my question is: do you have these boxes for all the children in class? And if not, how do you explain to the others why they don't have these boxes? I teach 4 year olds and it might be difficult to make them understand. But maybe I could have one for each kid and use the boxes instead of the "5 minute break" punishment for bad behavior. For example, if a kid is noisy/angry/sad, instead of giving him the "break", where he'd be isolated from his friends/toys for 5 minutes, I would just give him the activity box and have him work on that until he's calmed himself and feels ready to go back to his friends or his activities.

I have a student with Adhd and one behavioural and both just never initiate returning to the class work or even flare up again when they are prompted to return.mrsrobinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11268304751626347157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19633781853053158.post-55403200661196947802014-05-24T16:55:29.338-05:002014-05-24T16:55:29.338-05:00A great post and thank you for sharing.

I have a young man that has been a huge problem to a few teachers but is a little angel with me now that I keep a supply of plasticine on hand. I have him model what we are covering (takes a little external thinking occasionally ...) and it works a treat. Once the others are settled to some group work or worksheets I sit quietly with him and we go over his worksheets/exercises together and he now completes all his work. I'm going to make him an Activity Box this weekend :)The Menopausal Misshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13210629351207742112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19633781853053158.post-8349587345659822992014-04-14T12:12:21.527-05:002014-04-14T12:12:21.527-05:00This is a great idea!

I think it would be very useful for my gifted kids too that always seem to finish their work quickly or for students that need a little push to inspire them. Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />:) ShelleyShelley Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250728263581605027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19633781853053158.post-43858973721485584372014-04-12T08:04:18.404-05:002014-04-12T08:04:18.404-05:00I love this idea!!!!!!
