C LASSROOM MANAGEMENT P ORTFOLIO S ECOND GRADE Madison Lambert

R ULE 1 Respect the teacher and the other students in the classroom. Rational: Without respect in the classroom things could get hectic.

R ULE 2 Talk only at appropriate times. Rational: If children just talk freely during class you loose time trying to keep them quite, and other children might not be able to focus on their work.

R ULE 3 Try your best! Rational: If children in class don’t try their best then they might not put everything they’ve got into their school work.

H OW TO TEACH THE RULES I would split the class into three groups. Each group would get a rule. The group would act out their rule and other students have to guess what rule they have.

C LASSROOM LAYOUT

R ATIONAL FOR CLASSROOM Board: At the front so children can look forward to see lesson. Teacher’s desk: In the back so teacher can look at all students. ESOL student: In the front with one of the excelling students. Problem Student: Close to me with another excelling student to keep him/her on track. Pencil Sharpener: In the back so other students aren’t distracted when someone goes to sharpen their pencil. Supplies: In the back in line with the door so students see it when they first walk in.
