And we all know we don't speak the way we're supposed to write.. LOL<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment. I'd like to think that I'm a natural - but a lot of watching and picking up tidbits here and there from "seasoned" teachers also has a lot to do with it. :)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807379587473251820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241450536607462866.post-41683970413374331612012-09-18T05:51:28.428-05:002012-09-18T05:51:28.428-05:00Thank you!!

But, it is important to me to think about how I deal with a situation before jumping right in. I just hope that the plan works.

Miss you!!!!!!1<br /><br />I also totally start sentences with AND all the time. And BECAUSE (lol). My grammar is awful when I blog. I guess it's because I'm writing the way I would speak? Or because I'm totally out of practice with professional writing?<br /><br />I'm totally impressed with the way you handled your class! How do you know so much as a first year teacher?? You are obviously a gifted teacher. A real natural!!<br /><br />Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535420481037281507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241450536607462866.post-66588914106614706852012-09-17T06:41:04.269-05:002012-09-17T06:41:04.269-05:00I like how you took the time to think about how to...I like how you took the time to think about how to respond to the class without winging it. I have a problem with letting my emotions getting the better of me when I get upset and I regret it later.<br /><br />Your plan sounds perfect! You are a wonderful teacher :)safirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087146668110437915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241450536607462866.post-4050620726520382982012-09-17T06:24:28.279-05:002012-09-17T06:24:28.279-05:00Awww, thanks!!

I can yell at them all day long, but unless I show them how appreciative I am of those that did what they were asked I don't think they'll really understand.<br /><br />Of course this means that the next time I'm away, I'm probably going to have to come up with a lot more brownies.

Yo...Joanna, I am so proud to know you as a teacher. You are doing an awesome job, and the kids had their first time away from you, and didn't behave as they should have, but now they will believe you that your "power" extends to them even when you are not there. That sounds like an excellent idea, to combine both positive and negative enforcement. Sharileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067148382299727349noreply@blogger.com
