WHAT A SEMESTER!!! It is so weird to think that this is the last blog of the semester. It's crazy how fast it has flown by. There have been a lot of highs and lows this semester but I am so relieved that the end is here. It is going to be nice to have a break for a little bit before it is the real deal!
This week I went to my school for four full days and oh my goodness... It has been exhausting! I have taught Phonics, Math and Guided Reading each day which is A LOT!!! But, I have loved every minute of it! It puts it into perspective about how semester is going to be... exhausting but totally worth it.
I found an article that give 4 Strategies to Energize and Focus your Students.
1. Engage student Leadership ing the Classroom
2. Involve as Many Students as Possible
3. Give the Students an Urgent Reason to Learn
4. Help Students Feel Success
These four tips are things that can help any student at any age. I think that it is very important to make students are energized, focused and learning at all times in your classroom. Giving students a leadership role will help with those who have behavior issues and also those who struggle with attention. Make sure that all students feel this way and that they are all involved at some point. Lastly, I feel like it is most important to help students fell like they are successful. Make sure you praise them and make them feel welcomed and important.
This relates to the NC Professional Teaching standards by standard 2. Giving students a respectful environment for a diverse population is very important when making sure all students feel energized and focused.
