Hi, I saw you in one of the teaching communities. I also teach elementary school and would love to hear more about your classroom management ideas. It's my second year and I'm at my wits end.
The trouble I am having with my students is the fact that they don't seem to listen to anything I say. I can give simple directions over and over and something as simple as "do not talk" or "I should not be hearing voices" lasts about 5 seconds as soon as an adult walks into the room or I am speaking one on one with a student. I want to scream...and I can't now because I have laryngitis from it all. It's insane! (1st graders this year)
Of course - I didn't want to presume and make a friend request despite Emelot's glowing review, since I write a lot about my job too and I imagine that can get boring :-)
