Making Memories in __ Grade. Now this, THISis a cool idea. I would definitely need to come up with something like this for middle school and high school classrooms.

Love this!
HAND-SIGNAL-HELP: As teachers we have all had that moment when we think that we are getting through to that one student. We see the hand go up and in our head we say, “YES, yes, I am the world greatest teacher”. Then the reality sets in when the student politely asks, “Can I go to the bathroom?” After being burned a number of times I decided to establish hand signals for the bathroom and water fountain at the beginning of the year. The students know to silently put up a signal. They will receive a head nod in return. No questions asked. They also have learned not to ask if something new is being taught. The smart ones have quickly caught on to asking during transitional times; they usually receive a yes nod. ;-)
Several schools I sub at have developed a bathroom sign language like this. I have finally memorized all the signals.
Fingers crossed = “May I go to the bathroom?”
Three fingers to the mouth (forming a “W”) = “May I get some water?”
Pinky up = “I have a question.”
Hand forms a “C” = “I have a comment.”
