Teaching Tips!
Routine is something that would make it easier for you to control your classroom if it ever gets too “rowdy”. Children pick up routines easily because it’s something that they do again and again and again. Begin to implement the same routine on the very first day of school such as lining up in front of the classroom by 7:30 am. By a week, you will notice how the children will start to do this simple task on their own and there is no need for you to remind them every time.

Here are tips and suggestions to support your teaching needs:
| Continents of Planet Earth | When introducing the continents, describe them as well. Talk about which countries belong to the continents and what are the characteristics which define each continent such as Oceania has many animals and Asia is where our country, Malaysia, is. Many people mistake the Arctic for a continent, but it is not. Continents are understood as large, continuous, discrete masses of land. Therefore, Antarctica is a continent. The Arctic is not considered a continent because there is no mass of continental crust at the North pole. |
