Narrative genre: Worksheets and behavior management

In the classroom, I always come across specific experiences, events, and teacher language/ rewards systems that make me inspired by the teacher or just the opposite.For example, my mentor teacher is VERY into classroom management and worksheets; two things I don’t necessarily agree on. She is also into singing and movement; which I am on the same page with her on. In terms of classroom management, she is constantly telling the children to “card up/down” for behavior and calling on individual children, rather than getting the whole group focused by doing a different activity or reminding the whole group of desired behaviors instead of constantly punishing. Worksheets are a MAJOR part of the day, and although they are not NORMALLY the only part of a lesson, they are often a follow-up or beginning activity- I see worksheets basically all day long. In the morning, they do a morning worksheet, after language arts, they usually do another, after centers and during centers they have both a “work book” (worksheets) and follow-up worksheets in guided reading. They have worksheets in math and an end-of- the day worksheet. Worksheet and constant behavior management takes up a large portion of the school day.
