4 Books Every Elementary Teacher Should Have
No matter how carefully we teach positive behavior, students will
still sometimes misbehave. They’ll forget the rules, their impulses
will win out over their self-control, or they’ll just need to test
where the limits are. Our collection of books on behavior will help
you get students quickly back on track and ready for learning!

ActivitiesMovement is important to humans—especially children. Movement increases
oxygen and blood flow, enhancing
alertness and helping students keep
bodies and minds engaged in the
task at hand. That engagement helps
reduce off-task behaviors, making
classroom management easier, and
because movement activities can
be fun and engaging for all class
members, they help create a positive
learning community. Plus, movements
included during a lesson can actually
reinforce the skills being taught.
