Post: Classroom Management

Posted by Susannah on 5/02/08

    I teach first grade and have a real problem with classroom
    management. There are 6 boys in my class who have a hard
    time following rules in class. They sit in their spaces on
    the floor and talk and get up when they feel like it. I
    have one student who is ADHD and on medication and is also
    very immature. He whines and has temper tantrums when
    things don't go his way. He will actually whine and then
    put his head in his hands and sit there unless I talk to
    him and make him sit up or do his work. There is another
    boy in my class whose parents are going through a nasty
    divorce. This child is a nervous wreck and can't stay
    still for a second. He can't have a conversation without
    walking around the room or wiggling or just moving.
    Another student is an only child and he is very spoiled.
    He talks when we're in circle and gets up when he feels
    like it. When I reprimand or correct him he says I hate
    him and like the rest of the class but not him. He is very
    manipulative. Another boy in my class is being tested for
    a learning disability. He is very young and is very
    impressionable. Unfortunately, he is impressed with the
    negative behavior and tries to copy what he sees. He will
    do anything for attention. He is not able to keep up with
    the other students and gets frustrated and acts out
    because of it. He thinks if he can do silly things he can
    get the other students attention off of learning and on
    him. My last student is a very aggressive child. he has
    been through 3 schools before he came to my school. He
    has been in my class now for 2 months and has an IEP. He
    runs from anything academic even though I break down
    assignments for him. He used to climb on furniture and I
    had to call my administrators to come remove him from my
    room. He has been in In School Suspension now three
    times. I would appreciate any advice given.
