    What do you do to control the noise/talking level in your classroom?
    I require my students to be absolutely silent at the beginning of class
    while I am explaining the lesson and discussing what we will be doing.
    There is never a problem with this. After the materials are distributed,
    I allow them to talk "quietly". This works for some classes, but in
    others can escalate into loud noise very quickly. How you maintain a
    consistent "quiet" level of noise/talking without instituting a "no
    talking rule"?
    I teach Pre K to grade 8.
