Acrostics Make Classroom Management A Snap!
By Kayla • April 3, 2018
If you want your students to remember something you'll have better luck if you keep it simple, relate it to something memorable, and/or go over it multiple times (repetition). We love the idea of using acrostics to sum up 'the important stuff' - i.e. expectations, rules, procedures, etc! We think it's something students really respond to and it also provides a great way to implement the above suggestions - everything is simplified, fits together to create a memorable word, and can be easily viewed/gone over together in a short amount of time should your kiddos need a brush up!
We can't take credit for coming up with these, but we think they make excellent classroom management tools!
For morning routines...
For use when leaving the classroom...
For activities that require working in pairs/with partners...
For activities that require working in groups...
And, while these aren't acrostics, we figured we'd throw them in because they are similar (and effective!) tools for managing instruction time/transitions and forming lines...

If you haven't already, we suggest incorporating some of these fun acrostics into your management strategy!
