Children Need To Be Needed



These were the words told to me by a relief teacher today. And when I realized the trueness of these words it made all the difference. If I ask students, "Can you do this for me?" They can complain or argue or generally disagree. However, if I need them to do something for me, then they would love to help because it makes them feel special that they are needed by their teacher. It was amazing to see it work right before my eyes.


I also worked on my voice volume and raised and lowered it as needed to control the students mode and atmosphere. It was amazing to see this work as well. I am had them hanging on my every word as I whisper the instructions and steps and really made them actively listen to what could possibily be next. These classroom management will come in handy in the future, no doubt..
