12 tips for teachers for a successful classroom

Successful Classroom: Teaching is difficult. The tips teaching can save you time and money. The teachers at the Lucky 2nd Grade Teachers Facebook Group have put together a list of 25 teaching tips you should pay attention to because they will make your life so much easier! Lots of fun !

1- Velcro markings

Attach your Expo markers to the top of the board with Velcro so kids can't reach and their tips point down to keep them cool. That also keeps the markers off the border, so you can use the border for other things like books, card baskets, pointers, etc.

2- Visual instructions

Teachers will find labels for the everyday materials they need (glue stick, pencil gouge.pk/shop/category/art-supplies/pencils/, markers, etc.). It is convenient to print the labels, laminate them and then attach a magnet to the back. During transition times, the materials needed for the next lesson are placed where everyone can see it.

So that helps answer the question "What should we do?" It is of great help to students who learn by seeing.

3- always do extras

When preparing for the start of the school year, prepare an additional package that can be distributed to families at the beginning of the school year. Always plan 5 or more extras. In the file are the forms, a guide and the contact details that families should refer to throughout the year. If new students register throughout the year, the forms are ready to be filled in.

4- Use marking tape to save paper

Glue a piece of tape to the back of a journal or notebook. Students use this as a reading guide to avoid scrolling through the pages of the journal and returning to an old page. After using a page, the student places the ribbon behind it. Then they are ready for the next time they use their diary. This has to be modeled several times at the beginning of the year. Often students will even start helping each other in this regard.

5- Very important articles file

At the beginning of the year, laminate manila envelopes for each student and mark them with a label with the words "VIP - Very Important Papers". An exact knife can be used to cut the opening of the folder after rolling. Include any forms that need to be filled out, along with a checklist for parents. Then use it all year round for progress reports, documents, report cards, etc.

6- File of the absent student

Make a plastic manila shirt to help out absent students. When the children are gone, have another student fill out the absence form and pick up all the pages and notes sent home that day. The file is then placed in the locker of the absent student. The student can take the homework out of this folder the next day if they have time, or take it home to finish it and return it.

7- Multiple waste bins

Use small trash cans as trash cans. This is to prevent 20 children from getting up to throw rubbish while cutting.

8- Write what you learn on the board

Use a diagram titled "Show What You Learn".

To make this activity quick and easy, kids should pick up a speech bubble with a magnet on the back and a dry erase marker with a hot glued pom pom on it (to erase) to quickly show they learned this in class!

9- Challenge pencils

On the first day of the month, distribute a "theme pencil". This pencil has an adhesive flag on the metal part with a matching student number. At the end of the day, have the students leave their pencils on their name badges throughout the month to do a pencil check. Hand out stickers, coupons, etc. to students who still have them. On the last day of the month, collect the old pencils and give a new one. If a student still has the "challenge pencil", he can get some sort of reward. Discard the old one. It really reduces pencil wastage and sharpener usage. Pencils left on reading tables or stations are also easily returned to the owner. Throwing away pencils in the trash can also reduce the chance of spreading germs.

10- Assign tasks to class groups

Prepare shapes for student tables and then use those shapes to assign and assign different tasks. Circles collect papers, squares, triangles, supplies, etc.

11- Keep the covers

Save all glue stick caps and dry erase marker caps. If they are lost, tell the students to get them out of the "bottle" and move on without looking for a lost cap and keep working on the same topic. As a result, we have a smoother day and stocks last longer. By keeping a container closed, we have a smoother day and stocks last longer.

12- The hourglass

If you work in a small group, give a two-minute hourglass to a student, not a member of that small group. The person with the timer looks at the students to see which one was "the most serious" and gives them the timer. Take the time to practice it first and don't discuss giving it to your friends etc. Once this system is in place, the escape time will be much more fruitful. Everyone wants to be the hourglass bearer!
