Is it strange if I say that I catch the attention of my kids by saying

“ ok everyone let’s delve into our lesson today , I seem to be able to set a decisive tone. Plus; if I happen to dress nicely, all eyes are on me.

I usually take attendance by looking at who put their phone in the phone holder. I'm not sure what I would do if I had to do it in English and have it go quickly. My students also have 10 minutes of silent reading time in which I take attendance and get organized

Complete the Compound Word

This attention-getting idea is best suited to younger students, and they love it! The idea is the students must complete the compound word (you may use cards to help students )

Here are some examples:

Teacher says star, students say fish

Teacher says pop, students say corn

Teacher says cheese, students say cake

Teacher says apple, students say sauce
