Teaching is....what? A passion, a lifestyle, a yearning or a calling? Maybe all and more. Every day brings a new thing to learn and another child (or me) learning it. I teach for the 'lightbulb' moment. That moment of realisation when a student and an idea connect.
"Treat all people as you would like to be treated, with kindness and compassion."
'Love is the greatest gift in all the world. Give it wisely and honestly; accept it gratefully and open heartedly.'
Having trouble control them as they rage into the classroom after recess and lunch? Here's the answer.
Organise bell work. When the bell rings they come into the classroom and go straight to that work (silent reading is popular) and continue that work until you (the teacher) indicate it is time to begin the lesson.
