The organizing and management of your classroom at school can be very daunting, and depending upon your comfort level, a little scary! Children often can be a real challenge in teaching if you do not speak their language. We as teachers and parents need not to be afraid in acting a little silly, and even goofy when dealing with children. Research shows that humor promotes learning and when used appropriately, it can strengthen relationships of all shapes and sizes. Administrators, teachers, and parents who are dedicated to the best interests, social development, and academic success of their children can accomplish great things by using a wide variety of creatively humorous approaches, including rhymes, chants, riddles, nonsensical speech, jokes, banter, anecdotes, games, and even self-effacing commentary, to make valuable connections and enhance learning.

Humor liberates the 'playful child' in all of us, but in Linda Gilliam's classroom it helps her students to be themselves; it engages their emotions, adds spontaneity to lessons, helps kids enjoy each other, and creates a classroom atmosphere that makes learning MORE fun! From years of successful teaching, Linda Gilliam has a finely honed talent for using this social tool to maintain joyous interactions that her former students never forget, and by easily retaining her poems, songs, and learning chants. We all know that when kids are having a good time, they will remember the skills more. Linda Gilliam's second book, Magical Management in the Classroom: Using Humor to Speak their Language, will be a much needed tool for teachers and administrators!
