A few things I wanted to tell myself about what to do and what not to do.
1. Make sure they know the rules from the beginning. If they don't do a procedure the way I like it then have them do it again, and again if needed.
2. When doing an activity such as coloring the continents then cutting them out and gluing them to a balloon, don't pass the balloons out until they have done the other work.
3. Don't allow coloring during class book read. When I'm reading they should be doing nothing but listening.
4. Practice the rules every day at the beginning.
5. Don't worry about being a friend, just teach them and prepare them for Jr. High.
I had to start this blog as part of a school assignment. I posted about how we could use a blog in the classroom and something about Twitter then I left the blog alone until now. I am out of school for the summer and thought I might get this started to keep accounts of summer, how my student teaching goes in the fall and my first year as a teacher!
