Humor in the classroom is always a valuable thing to have! It helps you to stand out next to other teachers in a students eyes, and can also help you to have a closer relationship with your students. Students love a teacher who is light and relatable to them, and I think think that humor is the ticket to do just that!
Whenever I was in the 7th grade I had this AWESOME
english teacher named Mr. Tribble, and he was one of
those teachers who made you feel truly important. He
would talk to the class and almost every student as if he
was equal to us, instead of looking down on us. His
philosophy was that the only true way to learn was to do
something silly along with it.
One week when we were reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury he thought it would be fun to go buy a bunch of firefighter halloween costumes for the entire class, and go outside a burn a few books like in the story.
His class was the most fun I have ever had in a school environment, and he is one of the biggest influences I have had in wanting to become a teacher.
Posters in the classroom are critical and they really catch a students attention and they also let them in on who you really are on the first day!
