What should you say in your classroom

A word that a teacher say can leave a deep impact in the student's lives. No matter how angry or frustrated or even happy your class was, you should always be careful of what to say, when to say, and how to say it.
So here is a list of five things that you should always say in the classroom: 

1- Good morning and Good bye:
Once you enter the class and you greet your students, then you are sending them this positive message that their day will be good, successful, and bright.Similarly, dismissing your class with ‘goodbye’ or ‘have a lovely evening’ has the same effect, so their sunny attitude can continue outside of the classroom. Both greetings implement in your students the social etiquette.

2-  Do you understand?
Many teachers misuse this question so when they explain a lesson they take it as a good sign if they as: " Did you understand?" and all the class just nod their heads even if they actually do not..
you should pass around your students and check each and everyone's work and here you can truly discover who understood and who did not.

3- What do you think of this?
students have a say in what they want to learn and they way they want to learn it. So take in consideration 
their comments to fully assess the success of the lesson.

4- Why is this important?
If you do not show the students the importance of what they are learning then they wont bother to pay attention to what you say during the class.

5- You can do it ! Great, you made it !
Showing your students they have done well and expressing emotions such as pride and happiness makes for a positive and productive learning environment that all students will want to be a part of.
