Preparing for the classroom

Professional development has been quite helpful and I will take many things back to my classroom as I prepare for that first day with my students. Here are the top three:

1. We discussed what a good place to learn should look like. I will provide my classroom with structure and organization, safety and clear expectations and procedures.

2. I will set up ways to make the environment fun and engaging for my students as soon as they enter. Respecting will be built through activities I develop for that first day and throughout the year.

3. I will look for positive interactions and reward those interactions thoroughly. This will hopefully keep students working to achieve positive results, pride in their work and also within themselves.
