Please Don't Do That, That's Weird

This year I had a child (who shall remain nameless) in my class who randomly beeped. This was indeed an attention getting strategy. One day in the middle of my story the student started beeping in slow methodical intervals. I simply looked at the child, addressed the child and said, "_________, please don't do that. That's weird." Never again did this child beep in my class. Moral: Sometimes people need to be told in a kind but firm manner, "Please don't do that. That's weird." Now that I have unleashed this power to the public I simply ask that you use it wisely, and try a third-grade teacher voice as it will come across a little less offensive! Good luck.
