It should not take snaps, claps, music, phrases, and tunes to get students to pay attention. The attention span of these kids is a -0.

“Please get out your books and turn to page 12” has now turned to
Clap, once, clap twice. Level O, get ready set: open up your books to page 12 (repeat twice) because if you repeat once you’re only going to get about half the class ready.

After that there’s still going to be 5 staring into space, with no book in sight. It’s exhausting. Am I alone in this?

I’d tell them what book and page one time then ask the class what page class and they repeat the page you said. If there are those off task they will listen to their peers say the page more often than their teacher. Then when they are restless we much switch activities of course. That’s a good time of course to do an active break with motion which can be done using online or just a Simon says. But you are right. It seems student attitudes get worse each year and attention spands as well. We try what works for the day or the year and try something else the next
