that the battle they are dealing with outside the classroom might be way bigger. Parent contact is important to be able to keep
letting the parent know what is happening at school and document it. Have the student create their own goal and reward for completing their goals. This is great on challenging students and let it be in their hands on completing a goal they created.

Part 2: Reflection
There are various techniques to improve classroom management, student engagement, and motivation. Teachers must alter and tailor tactics to their specific classrooms.
Classroom activities can swiftly alter, leaving teachers with limited time to address students or problems (Evertson, 2013). Knowing successful tactics can save time in the classroom and reduce distractions. The goal is to have all your students engaged and learning successfully.
Student engagement is crucial in the educational process. Focus and motivation lead to meaningful learning.
Engaged students exhibit behaviors such as asking inquiries, concentrating,
sitting still, listening, reacting, and following instructions (Johnson, 2013).
Giving directions requires engagement from students. To ensure student engagement and listening, conduct a rehearsal, ask questions, and demonstrate the activity. This is especially crucial to check after a group activity. Encourage your students through their group work to meet the expectations. I also
do table challenges where the best table to follow the rules and completes the task will win. The students love competing and getting the reward for completing the challenge.
While group activities foster classroom camaraderie, they can also lead to distractions. Reviewing and providing comments can help students understand their roles within groups and meet team objectives. In small groups, we must be on our best since we do not have a lot of time in these groups to complete the standards and objectives for the day. The students know this is where I mean business. I have a slug light on my small group able that means, “no bug slug” they know not to come up to me during this time. I monitor the students in this group by keeping my table five or less, making it easier to pay attention to each student’s needs. We also use thumbs up-thumbs down signals throughout our small group lesson and letter cards. The students

are very interactive during our lessons, so it is easy to see who is getting it and who is not. I have
also rearranged my groups according to their data, so I have my low group to my highest group. The learning environment that my students most enjoy is simply when I am happy and being in the moment with them. I know that doing that every single day is hard because it is HARD, let me tell you. They deserve the best version of you every single day no matter what and that is exactly what I have done since August. I think when the students feel safe, they open more and seem to excel more than ever. Having the lessons and centers based off my students interests and needs also helps with them being engaged. At the end of the day, I have a billion standards I must teach and things I must do each day that might not be as fun for them at five years old. This is why we try to make every moment fun, even the boring lessons and the early mornings. We smile and dance through the day! Effective classroom engagement tactics are critical to student achievement. It provides an atmosphere where effective learning can occur. Effective classroom management and engagement require tailoring tactics to meet the requirements of each student.
