One thing I've had to do this year due to boys' behavior is have a stack of worksheets on hand. If 1-2 are consistently disrupting the learning of others or not engaging w/me, I send them to their seats to do their learning on a worksheet instead of with us. Amazing how the others suddenly shape up.
They may not be learning "exactly" what we are learning at the time, but...they are still doing paper/pencil learning and I can tell you...I haven't had to send the same boys back to their desks more than 2x!
