I find it beneficial to stop, and review the class expectations all together, no names, just, “Ok class, right now let’s quickly review our expectations that let us all do our beat learning...”

My first year teaching I had a similar problem and I had a veteran tell me that when it persists, one of the best things she’s found to do, is ask them privately to stay in at recess, and actually practice sitting quietly and raising their hands, etc. The trick here though is, you don’t focus on the time they are giving up. You don’t say, “you’re spending your recess here because...” instead you kindly make it well known that you wanted to help them and others learn their best, so you’ve volunteered your time from recess to help them practice. Remember this isn’t a taunt or a pressure, just kindly share the reasoning. Encourage them as they practice with, “thank you for being so respectful, way to go!” And the like. You may also wish to use when...then statements, “yes! When you sit quietly, then everyone can do their best learning, and that’s respectful of you!” Or, “when you raise your hand, then I can take your comment at an appropriate time so everyone can hear the lesson!” After your practice, make it clear again (kindly) that you were willing to give up your time for their practice and if they think they need more practice, they’ll you would certainly be willing to keep practicing at recess. Don’t spend the whole recess either, they can get out and get their chatting out of the way at recess! Hope that helps!

How the heck can I teach a kindergartener over the computer? It's all hands on in my class for the first couple of months. I have made and bought so many manipulatives but I can't send twenty home with the kiddos. When we do go back to in person learning they want to separate my kiddoes into two groups and I have to move between the two classes to teach. I'll be hauling my stuff on a cart to each class! I'm overwhelmed at the thought of all this.
