It's fairly large which will make it visible regardless of where you are in the classroom. I'm using a clothespin with a button attached to designate the sound level. If the clip is on Table Voice, then only the members of their table should be able to hear their voices. Teacher Voice is their louder speaking voice. This is generally the voice they use when they are reading aloud or sharing with the class.
I was inspired by a chart I saw on Pinterest when I created mine. The original sound chart was by Katie at Little Kinder Warriors.
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Thanks for sharing! I talked to a teacher friend of mine recently and in addition to our different voice levels, we were discussing body levels too. Would it be possible for you to make a body level chart like the voice level one? The different body levels are Excited (Level 4), Alert (Level 3), Relaxed (Level 2), and Asleep (Level 1). I think having a body level chart including the numbers would be helpful because once the students have learned what each body level is, the teacher can say, "I need you at a Level 3" or "A Level 4 is acceptable during this game" and students should be expected to respond in that way.

ReplyDeleteJUST FYI...I posted your sound-check on my blog for my top 10 to do list. Come by and check it out! I'd love for you to follow me - you're one of my favorite blogs!!
I hadn't thought about a body level chart. I can definitely make one. I'll add it to this post when I finish it. My only question is with level 1 (Asleep)- Do you have nap time?

ReplyDeleteLove this, but your picture didn't have the numbers on them. I don't want to use the outside voice. How do I get them away?
