6. Students ask for repeated restroom/water breaks

•

It only takes one student to ask to go to the restroom before the whole class

suddenly needs to go! This can cause disruption and stops the flow of the lesson. To

avoid this, make sure you have rules in place concerning restroom breaks.

•

Make sure students know to go to the restroom before the lesson.

•

Have students bring in their own water bottles. You can provide a space for them to

keep their bottles (label them with student names) in the classroom and have

students fill them every day at the drinking fountain or faucet.

•

Find out if anyone has any special requirements that may require going to the

restroom.

•

Provide “brain breaks” at strategic points in the lesson when you see students

becoming restless.
