Student boredom

Because I want to be a Kindergarten teacher, I realize that keeping my students motivated and alert is going to be one of my biggest challenges. I plan on having many games for various subject areas, some of which will keep the students moving. I also love culture, so I plan on having my students learn about various races and ethnicities, especially of those students whom are in my class.

Another way to keep the students alert is to break up the day into many activities. Like the article mentioned, one of these activities will be having time to read about a subject area of the students' choice. While I can not afford to get a book about every child's interests all at once, through out the years I plan on getting books about sports, art, pets etc.

Computers also tend to peak students' interests. Hopefully I will be able to teach at a school that offers at least one computer for the students to work on in the classroom. I remember looking forward to being able to use education-based programs. Because I got to take control over what I was learning, doing, exploring etc.
