Child Observation Of Conner's Childhood

The atmosphere she created in her classroom was unlike any teacher I’d ever had. If there’s one thing I could say, her class was never boring. Whether she was wearing a witch hat waving around a plastic sword – in correlation to Macbeth, or jamming out with an air guitar to Iron Maiden - pertaining to Dante’s Inferno. She could include anyone’s interest to make sure learning was fun for everyone. The love and compassion she has for teaching radiates off of

I was welcomed to Southeast Elementary by Mrs. Becca ElsaMiller. The environment as you walked into her special education classroom felt very open. As soon as I walked in I could tell that the students felt accepted in this classroom. I enjoyed the way that the adults were referred to

As Ms. Brown and I walked down the stairs back to the classroom she was asking me why I wanted to be a teacher. We arrived at th classroom door and I told her, the reason is because I have struggled in school with ADHD and ADD and I wanted to make sure students get the help they need. We both sat down and started the interview. One answer that Ms. Brown said "I always wanted to help guide children to see their path to success. To me it all starts when the child is little" (personal communication, March 9, 2017). I was blessed to have the chance to talk one with Ms. Brown. She was happy that I choose her to do my shadowing with. When Ms. Brown showed me her lesson plans I was amazed. Know I have a good idea as to what to expect when I start

I observed the kindergarten classroom of Sarah House. During my observation, Ms. House completed a language arts lesson with her students. Ms. House used both whole class instruction and one on one instruction during her lesson. I felt that she did an amazing job with classroom management and created lessons that were not only engaging, but fun for the students.

How do you feel about the questions she asked? I liked the questions she asked. Some of them were open ended so she could keep he student interested and involved. She asked the silent student what is his name. She asked a student how old they were and what they did for fun.

Ashlyn Edwards is an elementary school grades teacher and is licensed to teach grade levels K-6. She currently resides in Texas and has taken some time off from teaching to be with her family. Before taking the time off, Ashlyn worked in two different schools, one of which was in Georgia and the other in Kansas. In Georgia, she taught Kindergarten and in Kansas she taught grade 1. I chose to interview Ashlyn because I had met her several years ago through another friend and I found out she was a teacher at that time. Even though I had not got to know more about Ashlyn before this interview, I was hopeful that she would be able to provide me some insight into what it is like being a teacher and the ups and downs of the job. I asked Ashlyn five questions related to her job and she provided answers that not only guided me but also helped me to understand ways that I can become prepared to teach.

“If, when you’re older, someone comes knocking on your door asking you some heated questions that you’re not sure how to answer, just stop and say “I want an attorney” and they’ll have to provide you with one as a basic right,” she stressed. All around me, my peers were hovering

Abstract I observed Harper, a 23 month old little girl that is full of energy. Also participating in the interaction with Harper was her mother and five year old sister, Mya. Harper is very friendly and outgoing. She is very interested “reading books” and loves to be read to. She enjoys helping her mother clean and do simple tasks. She seems to be very confident with and without her mother in her sight. Harper’s father is not actively involved in her life because he lives in another state.

I was very happy to see that she got the teacher I wanted. This teacher was the most popular and highest rated teacher in the school district. She won many teaching awards and was honored for her teaching skills by her peers and community. This particular teacher was also teaching at the same elementary school that I was attending when I was a child. I remember her because she was always kind to her students, not to mention very pretty and immaculately dressed every day. I never had her as a teacher for kindergarten but I remember walking past her classroom often.

Jessica, Your interview with Mrs. Marybeth Elswick was absorbing. I liked the questions and answers that you asked her and she gave you. I like what Mrs. Elswick said about handling the classroom discipline. I know as a future teacher I will take that into consideration. I also agree with Mrs. Elswick about if teachers should be responsible for their student's performance. When you are a teacher, you are being told how to teach daily and not letting things go your way. Even the questions paper you set applies to scrutiny and your notes too. Then what are the form of a teacher? And the second point should be you are held responsible for students performance.

Avery is a raising 7th grader at John Rolfe Middle School. His mother Alicia accompanied him to the DD/ID Intake. Avery was occupied during the Intake with playing games and talking to his younger sister on the cell; also in the home is an older brother and step father. This is the first summer Avery is taking part in a 5 day a week basketball camp. Mother is indifferent about him being away from home.

Over the Fall Break vacation, I decided to conduct my field experience at CC Spaulding Elementary School. I had the opportunity to work with Ms. Sarah Ashley and Mrs. Williams’ Pre-K class. I had previously shadowed with Ms. Ashley, so she was eager to welcome me back. Over the days,

Now being at Richland Elementary School for about 8 weeks, I have a good sense of the people around me, the school itself, and myself in my role with the children. I do have to say that Mrs. Cambridge is outstanding with the children. She builds excellent rapport with them. I can recall a certain student was afraid of a certain movie being played one week, and he asked if he could go and sit with Mrs. Cambridge. This goes to show how much care and time Mrs. Cambridge puts into getting to know and building relationships with these students. It shows when a kid needs to be disciplined or talked to, and she is always good at handling the situation. The volunteers are also equally as good with the students. Many of the volunteers are soon to be

I interviewed Julie French, one of my teachers from high school. Julie has been married to the love of her life for thirty-three years, and eight years later they had their daughter. She is fifty-six years old, and has been teaching for twenty-two years. Julie is a science teacher at Lone Grove. Julie’s dedication to the student’s learning, why she chose science, and the relationship between her and her students is why I chose her instead of a different teacher.

I discovered Family and Consumer Science the summer In that class, the student learns about different teaching methods and how to care for children. As part of the curriculum, we volunteered at Long Elementary as teacher aides. Working with 4th grade students and observing an everyday class room was such an awe-inspiring experience. I had a completely new perspective about teachers. I have so much more respect as before. Teachers put so much time and effort into helping children for their benefits. I knew from the first day I helped with Ms. Williams’ 4th grade class, how much a teacher is a positive influence on children. There is an overwhelming feeling when you help a student with a problem and in return they give you the most heart-warming smile. The experience at Long Elementary helped me make my final decision on whether I wanted to teach elementary or secondary school. As much as I enjoyed helping elementary students, in my heart I knew secondary school was the path God had in store for me.
