Classroom management is one of the most important thing the teacher has to have control of since the first day of school.


Classroom management requires rules that need to be set and agreed with the students since the first moment we have contact with them


Sometimes is not that easy to handle with a class of 25 students, specially if they are 7 years old and don't care about anything but to play and play


I had to be a first grade teacher for two weeks, and it was a real challenge for me, because you have to negotiate with your students in order to get them work fast and do what you want them to do


I dont like being mean to them, but sometimes being too nice to them will lead a messy classroom and you will loose all kind of control because they think you are not going to get mad at them never so they can go around and play with no restrction at all


By setting the rules and having the control of the class since the first day, we will get the classroom management that we are looking for!
