435 Blog 1

Hey everyone! 

This month

This month has been crazy busy! I have absolutely loved being able to be in my classroom three days a week and getting involved with my students more and more with each visit. I have learned so many things already and I am so excited to keep learning throughout the semester. One big component we have done so far for 435 is work on classroom management plan of our current class that we are placed in as well as a classroom management system for our own future classroom. These projects have been so important for me to really see what is happening in school today and really process what I like and do not like. I think it is important to have a classroom management plan in a classroom because if not the class would be chaotic and the kids would be doing whatever they wanted to be doing. Classroom management plans are there to make sure that the class is organized and the students are all well behaved. NCTCS 2A states "Teachers provide an environment in which each child has a positive, nurturing relationship with caring adults". Having a classroom management plan is so crucial to creating this positive learning environment. Students need to have this learning environment to really have the ability to learn everything that they can.

Outside Learning

For my outside research for this blog, I researched more in-depth into classroom management plans. I found this Edutopia article that discusses 5 priorities for a classroom management plan.
https://www.edutopia.org/blog/5-priorities-classroom-management-ben-johnson One of the priorities that it discusses is to have a working relationship with your students. I think this is something that is SO important within a classroom. Your students are not going to listen to you if they do not have a relationship with you. The more relationships you build the closer you will be with your students.

Future Classroom

In my future classroom, I want to make sure that my classroom management plan is going to allow my students to have a positive and encouraging learning environment every single day. I want my students to feel safe and welcomed within the walls of my classroom. I want to make sure that I am providing an environment that every child can be positive and have a good experience. I want to make sure that I am going to have a good relationship with my students. I want every child to know they are loved and cared for. 

I can not wait to learn more throughout this semester.
