With this observation, it pointed out to Miss Jones that Linda might need some help in the subject. The teacher often notices unruly behavior in the classroom, which allows him or her to discipline properly those that misbehave. Mr. Smith, a first grade teacher, saw Tommy throwing paper at Sam. As part of the punishment Tommy had to pick up the paper from the floor and stand in the corner at recess. A very observant teacher tends to pick up on several things going on in the classroom without much effort.
Creativity is a personality characteristic that can be very handy for a teacher in any classroom.
When the lesson from the textbook does not seem to reach the class, sometimes using props can. Ms. Brown s fifth grade science class did not understand the structure of a molecule so with the aid of Styrofoam balls and toothpicks, she showed them what one could look like. The class seems to grasp the concept after seeing the prop. Mr. Wolfe demonstrates some of the activaties such as chain maile, calligraphy and card weaving that took place during the middle ages to his history class. Using props and demonstrations in a class can help spark the interest of the class and motivate them into learning more.
