What color should I paint my classroom?
I teach kindergarten and am about to repaint my classroom. I was thinking about a bright color on each wall, but someone suggested that I didn’t want to overstimulate the students. What colors do yall think? Also I have someone willing to paint a mural on one of the walls? What pictures, themes or characters do you think the kindergarteners would like? Boys and girls both.
paint the walls light colors ie. (yellow,pink, baby blue) then each yr lets the kids do their handprints on the wall! I did it when i was little and im in 11th grade and went back to my elm. school to see my handprint!!

How should we deal with classroom violence?
Both teachers and pupils are the victims of classroom violence. A survey published by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers shows that almost a third of the teachers in our schools have been attacked with weapons, punched, kicked or bitten by students. Teachers have said "excluding violent youngsters is not the answer". What is?
You have to extract the culprits and they have to face criminal charges. There should be certain schools allocated for these disruptive and violent children where they will be supervised and dealt with my specially trained and physically prepared teachers. No teachers and chilldren under their care should be forced to endure intolerable conditions. These disruptive are the ones causing problems on our streets and it is time that we all took a stance to stop this cancer which is spoiling our lives.

Classroom Management tips for larger classes?
I will be starting my student teaching starting in August. I will be teaching High School English. Normal class size at the school where I teach is 11 students. This semester I will have more than 25 students.
I am rather short, and I have a naturally soft voice, which are challenges I must overcome as a future teacher. I am excited about the experience, but I thought I would ask for tips anyway.
Does anyone have any suggestions for classroom management/lesson planning?
I think it’s important not to try and shout over a rowdy classroom… if they out shout you/ignore you, you will lose any respect they may have had for you in seconds. Stand still and silent making eye contact with the trouble makers until they settle down.

How do you decorate a 5th grade math classroom?
I was recently moved from 2nd grade teaching all subjects to 5th grade where I will just be teaching math. Obviously my second grade math stuff will not work in my new 5th grade classroom. Does anyone have any ideas as to somethings I can use to decorate my classroom and make it feel more comfortable(bulletin board ideas, etc.)? If you have pictures I would love to see them. Thanks for your help!
ok well for the past two years,at least one of the classes i was in had a couch/chair that people could sit in.u could have them rotate.go in alphabetical order.preferably buy an old couch or something like that from a yard sale or something.put a number line above the chalkboard to help students.dont go all out,bcuz 5th graders think of themselves very mature and if u over-math-decorate they will think that u think they are 5…let them do fun math activities once in a while too……..HOPE I HELPED!HAVE FUN W/ UR NEW FIFTH GRADERS!
