This year I decided to do Whole Brain the whole day. Granted it was only three hours but I fully invested myself in the method. First of all I did the rules over and over and had the kids teach each other the rules. I even initiated the class correcting students when they did not follow a rule. I also implemented the class yes, the scoreboard with the frownies and the smilies and taught them how to work with a partner. I know each day will be a challenge but I think they really enjoyed school the first day and I noticed less behavior problems because they were fully engaged and on task. They also did not get upset when they were corrected. I will add the Super Improvers Wall and the writing motions with college talk tomorrow. So happy that Chris Biffle has shared this method with others. It even works with special education!
