Sometimes students will dump them on their own.<br /><br />On being consistent, I've found the only way to do it to just do it! The easiest defense is to present the rules day one and then make "You know what the rule is" your mantra. They do know and they can't argue. And if they do...just keep repeating it. It also helps to try to keep a straight face. The more you do it, the more powerful you feel. I'm proud of how consistent I've become and how different I am than in year one. I actually love it. lol And the kids like me just as much, if not more, than when I let them get away with stuff. Which was one of my fears. miss.calcul8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02014623484245570719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-74229775038730025692014-03-13T16:26:21.370-05:002014-03-13T16:26:21.370-05:00Things that came to mind as I read this:
Mental M...Things that came to mind as I read this:<br /><br />Mental Math needs to be a bigger part of my classes next year. Must look into how to incorporate this over the summer.<br /><br />I don't know how to use my planning period. You should totally write a blog post over this. I have last hour plan. And, I end up doing anything but planning. <br /><br />I couldn't figure out how to get my kids to empty the mini trashcans into the large trashcan. I eventually got tired of it and put them in my cabinet. <br /><br />I need to work on this whole being more strict and consistent thing. I think I'm ready to go back and re-read all the classroom management books I read before I started teaching. I think things will make more sense now. <br /><br />I've got students falling through the cracks, too. It's heart-breaking. I just don't know how to help students who don't want to help themselves. And, I've got quite a few that fall into that category this year. <br /><br /><br /><br />I've been loving all your blog posts of late. Keep it up! You're giving me lots to think about.
