The heart of any successful classroom is the teacher's ability to connect with her students. How does this happen? Really there is no secret formula, but there is a very simple tried and true recipe that I have found really works!
Recipe for a Successful Classroom:
3 cups of kindness, gentleness, and patience
1 cup of mutual respect
2 tablespoons of eye contact and focus for every child
2 tablespoons of time (take the time to find out something unique about each of your students.)
Sprinkle generously with encouraging words and hugs!
Now, I know that the day-to-day life of a homeschooling Mom and a full-time teacher can be trying and challenging at times. Let me remind you of something very important . . . teaching is a privilege and an honor. It is a teacher's responsibility to influence his/her students in a positive and encouraging way! It is our duty to provide an environment that is safe and fosters creativity and accomplishment! Strive to give this to your students daily! If you do, you will transform your classroom into a beautiful place! Connect and care . . . it always produces excellence! Be encouraged today!
