We had such good 1st graders.
We had such good 1st graders.
As a mother of 3,I have been in many classrooms as a parttime teacher’s helper,and Mrs. Phelps was by far the most organized and effective teacher I have ever known. She had a system whereby at the start of every day,even as early as roll-calling,she would know whether or not a student’s homework had been completed and turned in. Thereby,each student had the benefit of instant feedback. You would never hear Mrs. Phelps say “class, before going to the next assignment,return to page 24 first.” Her class schedule moved smoothly forward,never forth and back chaotically. I was constantly amazed at her invisible discipline.For instance, you would never hear her say “stop doing that,” or “get back in line.” Instead I would hear “I see that Jane is ready”; “I see John is ready”; “Tommy is ready”; “Lori is ready”; Or “who needs to go to the back of the line?” It was my pleasure to know that my child was in such a smooth and predictable first-grade environment.
