SENSE OF HUMOR

I believe that an important key to being a successful teacher is to often have a good sense of humor. If you take things too seriously you will not have fun with your job and the children will feed off of you and make your teaching experience horrible. You also cannot take everything personal. You must remember that you are teaching children and you are the responsible Adult in charge. You have the power to control your classroom. If the students for one second don't believe that you are in control or have control of what is going on, they will do their best to run over you. Not literally speaking but, figuratively. They will push your nerves to the edge and really try to test your patience and your classroom rules. Here is a link to a blog that describes individuals thoughts as to why having a good sense of humor will help you in the classroom. SENSE OF HUMOR BLOG.
