 In an elementary classroom, it's important that students in your class know what voice level they should be using in class. I have printed off these freebies from teachers pay teachers and they help me tell the students without a verbal cue what level of voice I expect from them. If I have level zero up, that's an absolutely silent voice. I put these up just by little velcro dot. Level one voice is a whisper voice. This is usually when they're reading to themselves. Level two voice is a partner voice and I tell them that a partner voice is only their partner can hear them. Level three voice is maybe when they're working in table groups or a cooperative group. Level four voice is a presentation voice. We give book reports and I talk to them about a level four voice is like a teacher voice. The whole class can hear you and a level five voice. We reserve level five voices for outside. You can make these or print them off teachers pay teachers or any other site online. Allow your children to understand that in a classroom, we all have to have a certain voice level. This is just a way to cue them without verbally telling them how loud their voices should be. Try this in your classroom.
