3- Classroom Management

1. Describe two times when your classroom management was successful. Describe the
situation, learning objective and what the students were doing. Why was your
management successful?
In circle time: when I start explaining the instruction of the activity and how should we
do it, after that I let a child to complete the activity in front of all the student in circle
time (before the students go to the tables and do the activities).
In the activity area: the students were interaction while they are doing the activities.

2. Describe something you would like to improve about your classroom management
(using routines, giving instructions, dealing with disruptive behavior, managing groups,)
Give suggestions (or talk to your MST or MCT) to improve your classroom management.
I will use a reward system to manage the students behavior. I will call each group with
their color, but before that I will make sure that every student knows her/his table color.
And that makes the classroom organized. I will use the bell in circle time for the students
to know that they should sit nicely, cross their legs and arms, and keep quiet. I will use it
also for transition from one activity to other.
