Behavior focus for grades 3–5

Use this screen during transitions, work time, or anytime you need to refocus your class. It helps students see exactly what is expected and what to do next.

Students will see clear work symbols, a traffic light, live noise feedback, team points, a checklist of steps, and a fun sticker to keep things positive.

Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.

Questions teachers ask

How do I keep students focused during independent work?

Set the work symbol to 'independent' and use the noise meter to remind students to keep voices down. The checklist helps them stay on track.

Can I use this for group activities?

Yes. Change the work symbol to 'group,' set the noise meter, and use the scoreboard to encourage teamwork and positive behavior.

What if students ignore the screen?

Refer to the screen often and link rewards to following expectations. Involve students in managing the checklist or scoreboard.
