Classroom management is vital to any entry year teacher surviving the year. It may feel like you are being mean at first by setting up your procedures, rules and stuff but it will pay off down the line. When you practice a procedure do it until they know it inside and out. For example, when I have my students line up I tell them, "Line up quickly and quietly." When they don't, I make them sit back down and do it over again until they do it correctly.
Don't be afraid to say, "Do it over." It just makes life easier. Now, it's almost the end of the year so the natives are getting restless but overall they've behaved well and learned how to follow directions.
