🎙 Episode 17: How to Handle a Loud Class (Without Losing Your Voice or Mind)

If your classroom volume feels out of control or you’ve found yourself saying “Inside voices!” more times than you can count... this episode is for you.

In this quick, supportive pep talk, Alex shares practical tips for lowering noise levels in your Pre-K or Kindergarten classroom without relying on yelling or constant shushing. 

It’s all about proactive routines, clear expectations, and teaching students what volume should sound like in the first place.

✨ You’ll hear:

1. Why volume control is a skill that needs to be taught, not just corrected
2. Simple strategies for setting clear expectations around sound
3. Tips for using songs, signals, and visuals to bring the noise level down
4. Encouragement for staying consistent (even when it’s loud)

Because it’s not about being quiet all the time. It’s about helping kids understand when and how to use their voices appropriately.
