8th grade job

These 14 year olds I am not used to.  Even though I was only there for half of period 6 and all of period 7 it is the only reason why I did it. Short.  Last period had two kids who slough. I called the office and told on them plus e-mail their teacher.  A good example I am not in second grade anymore.  I was having difficulties turning on the video roku device and I asked for help, no one volunteered.  Then I said come on you all are in the 8th grade all of you are tech savvy. Finally, a gal came up to assist.  If they were second graders they would all want to jump in to help.

Glad I did it, I am a elementary teacher.

What worked

-Classroom management- all call the clap worked to get their attention and " I can wait..."
-Proximity- Walking around the class to make sure all was on task. Most kids were good.

What need to work on

-Secondary kids like a person with good sense of humor.
