When you wait for your students by
the door you set a friendly, and a welcoming environment right from the start of
your lessons. A personal word or a smile will make a lot of difference,
students appreciate individual attention. When you greet them by name, they
know they are not just another student.Start fresh! If you had a conflict with a student the other day, welcoming that student with a smile will send him the message that whatever the conflict was, it was not personal and it is now over.
Smiling says that you’re happy
to be there, happy to see your students. Students will respond a lot better to
teachers who are positive about school and enthusiastic about teaching.
Establishing yourself as the
classroom “host” reminds them that in your room you have rules and expectations
regarding behaviour, mutual respect. You are a role
model.
Music playing in the background while your students are coming in, is always a good idea. It can help you set the mood and it brings a cheerful touch to your lessons!
The link below is from a website where you can customize a famous song (Barbra Streisand by Duck Sauce). You can place your own words in the lyrics and surprise your students.
