Tip of the Week

Teachers make your classroom inviting. Keep live plants in the room. Decorate walls with bright posters. Keep necessities in the classroom - tissue paper, extra pencils, scrap paper. Allow students to bring bottled water into the classroom. If you have room, make a reading/homework corner where students can kick back on beanbags or big pillows to work. Play nice instrumental music in the background. Students appreciate some noise - just the way it is at home. If they feel comfortable in your room, they will feel more comfortable with you as well.
