daily success journal 3

Wednesday, October 23, 2013
Today in class I had the students play a review game so that they could review for the test. The students in this class are usually good but they can get a little out of hand at times. During the review game some of the students started playing around too much (the game involves the use of a tennis ball). I wanted to lose my temper and start yelling but instead I calmly turned of the projector, had the students get out their books, and we started doing review questions. After a few questions the students decided that they wanted to behave so that they could play the game. I don't like having to discipline students but by taking the game away for a few minutes the students all calmed down and I didn't have any other problems from them for the rest of the class period. The last time we played this review game the students actually did very well on their tests, the test is tomorrow so I hope it goes well again.
