We all have that student(s) who yells out in class. Do you wish they would communicate quieter? Have them use the connection journal. The students can tell you what they are thinking/ feeling with sentence prompts or blank for open communication lines. Students can draw pictures or add to their feelings. The first page is for students, the second page is for teacher responses.

Allow students to share feelings, de-escalate, and exciting news without interrupting your teaching!
