Welcoming students to the classroom is always a good way to start the day. Making your children feel welcome is how you make them comfortable and ready to learn in your class.
" stand at the classroom door,with a big smile and a ready handshake". Make your kids feel imoortant by greeting them and asking how their day is going.
"Everything possible should be done to welcome the students and to make sure that they know where to go and how to get there on time". Help your students find your classroom by posting info at the door as well as inside the class.
Welcome your students at door, not from your desk.

your reputation precedes you.
Hearing about a teachers reputation is sort of like the first impression to me. My sophomore year I was wondering Who my English three teacher would be, not because I struggled in English but because of the things I heard about the junior year English teachers weren't good at all. All summer I was hoping I wouldn't get this one English teacher that everyone talked about. But I ended up with her anyways, dreading to go to class. But on my first day she was the sweetest, she wasn't mean at all. She would just tell it like it was, and of course most people didn't like that. She was totally the opposite of what everyone had told me.
When I become a teacher, I will try my hardest to protect me reputation. I will make sure my class is always on task, stay focused and teach my students what they come to school to learn. Nothing more, nothing less. You won't hear from your friends that "she's a nice teacher" or "shes a strict teacher" you will hear she's a "good teacher".
"Right or wrong, accurate or not, your reputation

Classroom management
A couple of days ago I started reading part c of How To Be An Affective Teacher The First Day Of School By Harry Wong.
Harry Wong states "the most important factor governing student learning is Classroom management, which what I am going to talk about today.
Classroom management is a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. The term also implies the prevention of disruptive behavior.
"Effective teachers manage their classrooms, ineffective teachers discipline their classroom" meaning manage your classroom, stop something from happening before it even happens. Like separate students that you know if they sit together, that they will disrupt the classroom. Make sure they are on the opposite side of the classroom, making sure they have no contact with each other. Like Harry Wong said, you can't just cook a steak, how to cook a steak is the last thing you will learn. The first thing you need to know is how to manage the restaurant.
"Likewise, you manage a classroom; you don't discipline a classroom. "

Field site refelction
I must admit, I didn't know how i would like kindergarten due to me working with preK so long. But these last two weeks in my kindergarten class has been so wonderful. I love the class Im in as well as the great teacher I have. Everything's just so perfect to me! Whoever thought you could connect/bond with a child before the child gets connected to you? I sure didn't. I have a special bond with every single one of the students in my class.
Ive experienced so many new things in my class. Such as "ClassDojo" I've never heard of that until now. ClassDojo was the first thing my teacher introduced me to my first week. I must say, it sure does come in handy. ClassDojo helps teachers encourage students in classrooms and engage parents! I think it's one of the best things to use to keep your class under control. My teacher puts the ClassDojo site up on the overhead and allows the children and parents to see the behavior and how many points they've earned and lost. I must say ClassDojo is a good way to get your students attention. All you have to say is "Ok I, getting on ClassDojo now",and they fall right in line and start acting the appropriate way.
I've picked a great teacher/class this year. I plan on having a great year and learn new teaching strategies.
