Our third grade classroom is near the restrooms, cafeteria, and recess doors. During our math class in the late morning time, all of the other students in our school pass by on their way to lunch and they are SUPER LOUD AND PESKY! It distracts my angelic third grade learners from their arduous math efforts. 😠😩😣😬 In my opinion, we should solve this problem by constructing a force field in our hallway that temporarily imprisons students who are loud on their way to lunch and recess. 😂😎😇😏😛 First, if the student is trapped in a force field for a few minutes, they will realize their mistake. As a result, they will improve their behavior and PIPE DOWN. Also, the students would remember the force field is in our hallway. Therefore, they would try a lot harder to be quiet during our math class to avoid being locked up and late for lunch and recess. I believe that by building a force field in our hallway, we could really reduce the amount of distracting noise we experience during ou

Next year, I will be a professor at Columbus State University (CSU) in the Elementary Education program.

To do this, I should show them how to lead students in doing research, creating fun projects, and reading interesting books and poetry.

This may include creating fun science projects in which their students can design rolling carts or measure water evaporation. Dictionary Digs are a fun project too, because students get to look up lots of interesting information about wo
