What To Do When Your Class Won't Stop Talking
In this episode of The Firstieland Podcast for Elementary Teachers, your host Molly Schwab tackles one of the most common classroom struggles - kids who just won’t stop talking. From constant whispers during work time to full-blown chatter during lessons, student talking can leave you feeling overwhelmed and out of control. But don’t worry. In this episode we’re sharing real-life strategies that actually work in a Kindergarten or 1st grade classroom.
You’ll learn:
✔️ Why student talking isn’t always a bad thing
✔️ How to teach kids what silence really means
✔️ Simple visuals and hand signals that reduce disruptions
✔️ Ideas for designated “talk times” that help kids stay focused
✔️ Tips for logical consequences and positive reinforcement that work
By the end of this episode, you’ll feel more confident managing classroom noise and ready to create a calmer, more focused environment, without losing your voice or your patience.
