Simple Rules to Go By
- Start off strict and confident. You can always get nicer, but if you let your guard down too soon, they will eat you alive (esp. middle school)
- Remind them of a few little things everyday (rules, procedures, expectations, daily routine) but don’t overwhelm them all the first day.
- Start teaching the first day of school…they are sooo bored from hearing the rules so keep them busy and have fun.
- Assign specific seating arrangements after the first week, that way you can see who can/cannot sit together and when their true personalities really come out!
- Assign TABLES for Art Class, not seats (and especially for block scheduling). That way they can move around, not get bored of the same seat and scenery, and can work together in groups.
