stifle their emotions, but this is class and the 1st grade kids are there to learn.
The 1st grade teacher I'm observing just looked at the girl and said nothing.
She is an excellent teacher, very disciplined and structured, and she provides a great learning environment.
Is this the best way to handle it?
I would have liked her to have said something positive but deflecting, rather than pointedly be silent, but what would that be?
I want to be a pre-K teacher, is there something that would be appropriate for a pre-K teacher to say that might not work by first grade?
Is there a listing somewhere of appropriate punishments and rewards for a pre-K class? Losing recess time and sitting alone during lunchtime, as well as sitting in a chair in time-out for 5 minutes are about the only ones I know, besides calling out a student's name and shaking my head or putting my finger to my lips for quiet.
Much appreciated!
