Kid Scoop: If I were a teacher
These stories were submitted to the Junior Dispatch by Kid Scoop, a Newspapers in Education program at the York Newspaper Co.
If I were a teacher I would set my room up like a library. There would be tables as desks. I would set my classroom up like this so I can have one section for math, reading, music and art. I think these are the most important subjects.
My rules would be
1. LISTEN THE FIRST TIME
2. HELP IN THE CLASS
3. RAISE YOUR HAND TO TALK
5. HAVE FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
