That is a tough crowd! WHEN Rob learns the kids' names, using things like, "I like how Bobby is sitting so quietly" really helped. Or even just thanking those who are being reverent. ALSO, I am still amazed at how much whispering "If you can hear me, touch your ear" works with the kids. Just move around on the body until everybody is doing it, then have them fold their arms. <BR/><BR/>Oh you probably already know all that. But I thought I'd write it anyway. Good luck!!<BR/><BR/>When I was teaching alone (that smae age), one of the kids' parents was called to teach another class. She asked for advice. I told her to lower her expectations. Things went much better when I didn't expect to finish a lesson anymore.<BR/><BR/>Back to when dh and I taught... We made a little chart with pictures of different parts of the lesson (roll, song, prayer, art, story, etc.), and kids' faces that we moved to the various parts so they knew when they would get a turn to help AND they knew what was coming next. It really seemed to be a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Hope you don't mind unsolicited ideas! Love ya!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647971644707936384noreply@blogger.com
