Wait Cards


Linda Golomb, a second and third grade teacher at Cedarcreek School in Valencia, California

I use numbered cards to organize students who need my individual attention. I laminate the kind of cards made for classroom calendars and put them in order in a basket. When I am busy talking to someone, a student can come up and take a card. They take the card back to their seat instead of waiting in line. When I finish with one student, I call on the next number and a hand goes up to show me who I will conference with next.

There may be 6-7 students that need help and if the teacher is helping someone, they cannot also determine the order in which the hands are raised. This way, the students can continue working on the things they CAN do and then when the teacher is free to help, they will be helped.
