Does classroom management affects the learning of an individual?


     Classroom is the place in which students go to learn. It is their second house and teacher is their second mom. This is the place where they can explore different things around them while learning. In this place also, they can meet new friends. It’s the best place where the students should be in for them to love learning.


     We can compare the room that a kinder should have to other level. In kinder, it must be colorful, decorative and also fun-filled room while in higher level, some aspects will be change but the fun must still be there. Classrooms should be the place wherein students will feel comfortable, enjoyable and blessed. There are some ways on how you can make a best classroom ever.


1.     Put some decorations outside the door that says what the grade and section is and who is the teacher assign. By this, the guardian and students will know who would take care of their children.
2.     The room must be decorated but not too much for it will catches your learners' attention. Be sure that the room, even though it's fully decorated, still you can catch everyone's attention as you discuss.
3.     It must be fully air-conditioned or if not so, there must be electric fans so that the student will not feel hot that will cause them not to focus on the lesson you are discussing. Feeling of uncomfortable can be a hindrance to someone to learn.
4.     Make the room filled with love. Students, in kindergarten, need the love of everyone that surrounds them. They always like to be seen by their teachers because if not so, they will feel that the teacher doesn't like or love them or haven't enough care for them.
5.     Have a fun-filled classroom. Sometimes, students feel the boredom if they are not interested in the lesson. But when the teacher can catch the attention of the students, not only by the lesson you were discussing but also learning while having fun. Students in this level like to enjoy and by some fun activities inside the classroom, even it's not play time, they will achieve that enjoyment and get satisfied.

How to motivate a learner?

          Motivation is something that drives or forces someone to action. There are positive and negative motivations that the delegated authority uses in order to motivate their learner.

     In teaching, there are some motivations that the teacher can use like:

1.     Putting "star/s mark" or sticker/s at their hand/s if they are participating in different activities.

Music and Movement: Does it helps in student's learning?

Music and movement is the way where we can express ourselves. It makes our day enjoyable and makes our personality whole. Some of us like music because it can make them relax while the others were doesn't because they don't being "emo" or like the feeling of being emotional. Others like dancing because for them, it's the best way where they can express what they feel while others don't like because they were not good in dancing.

But when it comes into teaching strategies, music and movement can be use. There are some reasons why music and movement is useful.

1. It can help the students in remembering everything.
Like when it comes to alphabet letters that have its alphabet song. You can give some actions at the beginning of the song before proceeding to the alphabet letters. Here is the example:
Up to the ceiling, down to the floor
Left to the window, right to the door
Mama kisses me, Papa hugs me
For I know my ABC`s

A B C D E F G
H I J K L M N O P
Q R S T U V
W X Y Z

Now I know my ABC`s
Next time you will sing with me.

2. It can help the students in identifying everything.
Like when it comes to parts of the body that have its body parts song. You can give some actions as you are pointing the parts of the body being asked in the song. Here is the example:
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
And eyes, and ears, and mouth,
And nose.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.

3. It makes the whole class enjoy the day.
Children, by nature, like to sing and dance. For them, it makes their day complete. Before they go to school, they feel the excitement because they know that before the class begin, they will sing and dance. Here is the example:

I have five senses say them with me
Five senses here we go
Say 5, Hi-5
(5, Hi-5)
I have five senses say them with me
Five senses here we go
Say 5, Hi-5
(5, Hi-5)
1 to see, 2 to hear
3 to taste, 4 to feel
5 to smell, we're doing well
Five senses say them with me
Five senses here we go
Say 5, hi 5
(5, Hi-5)
