| Title | Classroom Quieters (Part 2) |
| Body | Here are a few more ideas for using the target language to re-focus your students attention. ---- I never thought of it as a classroom quieter before, but I will THIS year: I teach them "Tin marin de dos pingues; cucara, macara, titere fue" (sort of like eeny meeny miny mo in English) when it comes up in our book, and they love it. However, THIS year I think I'll teach it the first day to Sp. 1 and use it as a quieter/attention-getter. Usually all I have to say is TIN MARIN DE DOS PINGUES, and they respond with the rest (there is more to it of course)! There's another little saying that one of our Cuban teachers uses with her toddler daughter: "Pu PU cha cha; el tren se va." Pu PU cha cha is supposed to be like the sound of a steam engine (accent on the second PU)........My students like that one too! Taylor, D. classroom "quieters" in TL.
