Life in my Classroom (Blog 1)

The two things that are going good in my classroom are the following:


1) My first English/Language Arts (1st and 2nd Hour) and two Reading Intervention (3rd and 5th) students are well behaved for the most part and not as disruptive as my 6-7 group.


2) I believe my lesson plans are getting better because I always have my the objective in minds.


The two things that I would like to improve are the following:


1) My 6-7th hour students' behavior and following procedures and rules. They're constantly disruptive and they have been sent to RTC (Responsible Thinking Classroom), suspended (a few of them), written up, placed in detention, phone calls, etc. but to no avail.


2) Implement more body intelligent activities that connects to the objectives so that this group can be more successful.


The steps I need to do are: 1) Read Harry's Wong's book again, 2) Solicit ideas from my Cadre Leader, 3) And look up different articles on Classroom Management. Then implement what I learn.
