If you are anything like me, you have students asking to go to the bathroom all.day.long. Many times they just want to get out of the room with a friend & they miss valuable learning, but sometimes it is hard to decide when to let them go & when not to. So... I started using a system where I let the students leave for water/ bathroom breaks 3 times a day. I put all their names on index cards in a pocket chart. I have a bucket of little circle counters, and they put one in front of their name each time they go. This is a great visual for me as well as for the students, and has helped greatly in regards to managing bathroom breaks. I highly recommend it!
Do you have a different bathroom break system that works well for you? Please comment below!
