Yes, I know todayis Sunday, but I wanted to put this little bee in your head for this week. Is the noise level escalating in yourclassroom as you near the holidays? Try “Whisper Wednesday” and it will be like a day at the spa. (Well, not exactly, but it willsurprise you how soothing it can be.)
Before thechildren leave Tuesday explain that tomorrow will be “Whisper Wednesday” andthat you will only use whisper voices in your classroom all day. (I might make up a little story aboutan elf telling me to do that because he has such big ears and loud noisesreally bother him!) Make a signfor your door that says “Welcome to Whisper Wednesday. Please put on your whisper voice beforeentering today!” Greet thechildren at the door by whispering, “Good morning! I’m so glad you’re here today!” Sing, talk, read, and whisper through the day.
You might enjoyWhisper Wednesday so much you will want to continue doing it every Wednesday inthe New Year.
