Classroom Observation Paper

During the experiment of boys, I observed three men in the 20s who were talking about homework last weekend. During this experiment, A was on his computer talking about finances. B and C were locked into their computers without looking at A. The connection between the men seemed disengaged, as the DVD described. Most of what Deborah Tannan found is that the boys would sit at an angle. However, the participants had a couch, sitting besides each other. When they watch a movie, they would still talk and listen to each other, but would look at each other rarely at times. It lasted for a few minutes because they went to go eat together. In summary, they talked about sports and compared their teams over each other.

On Monday morning, I reported to the ENL I class at Central Islip High School as I did many mornings before. I observed the ENL teacher as she taught a class of 20 students who had recently begun studying in the United States and were required to take 2 periods of intense English language learning every day. The classroom was made of students who had immigrated from Central America and the Caribbean, all of the students in the classroom spoke Spanish as their first language. Each student that I observed carries with them a unique story and set of demands and expectations. At the end of my observation, I concluded that the social implications of the current political climate in combination with the ENL curriculum being followed directly impacted the success of the students in their second language acquisition.

For the past couple of weeks, I have been volunteering in Mrs. Fritz’s first grade classroom at Oak Ridge Elementary. When I get to the classroom around 8:30 A.M., the class is sitting down in three rows on a big rug learning a new lesson from Mrs. Fritz. She is usually teaching them how to spell different words and how to sound them out. If they are not doing something in the language arts department, they are learning new ways of doing math. After they are done with the lesson the children either go into their centers and complete spelling worksheets for about 30 minutes, or they grab a book and read as a class. The first graders have been working on Wonder as well, which is a theme that they focus on for the week. The theme is usually something

For 2015 Service Learning, JROTC students were assigned to help special needs between the beginning of October and near the end of December. We were assigned to go the bungalows, room 207, or stay and take care of the special needs in our class during the PT days. When we were selected to go to the bungalows or room 207, we support the students mentally as in a conversation and follow the teachers’ instruction. Meanwhile, when we were staying and taking care of the special needs in our class, we help them physically with the workouts. The LET 4s, Cadet Captain Tharit Mungphangklang, Cadet Captain Hung Nguyen, Cadet Staff Sergeant Bryan Luna, and Cadet Sergeant Esmeralda Ramirez Vazquez were in charge of the 2015 Service Learning Project in

Michael appears to be a healthy, energetic child who seems to be happy most of time in class. He has short brown hair, brown eyes, and wears glasses. He is clean cut and dresses nicely. He is average height and also seems to be average weight for his age. Observations reveal that he is friendly and looks for guidance when he has trouble performing a task. He is very outgoing but can be overly anxious at times. He can be easily distracted causing him to sometimes not complete his work. Michael gets along with his peers and teachers very well.

For the last week I have been observing the behaviors and patterns of a fellow ACPHS classmate. The person that I have chosen to observe is also a freshman. He is the roommate of a friend so I see him a lot, but haven’t had the chance to communicate with him besides a hi/hello here and there. There are two major things that I have noticed in his behavior and patterns.

On March 6, 2017, one of the assistant principals and I conducted a formal observation of a special education teacher. The observation happened at the Cholla High School.

Observing Mr. Bradbury class showed me the foundation tools of what is needed to be a successful teacher. The sport that I observed in Mr. Bradbury’s class was Badminton. Mr. Bradbury connected student’s prior knowledge by relating the paddle they use in badminton to the paddle they used in pickle ball when they used it freshman year. This correlation would help students get a better understanding how to hit with a badminton paddle. Mr. Bradbury emphasized on having a high success rate in his class. So, the first task he assigned was to stand in general space and connect the birdie(ball) with the racquet without hitting it. this introduces the motion students will use to hit the birdie. He asked the students to practice doing this five times. Once the students finished

During a brief interview with Mrs. Poland a few minutes before class started on September 9 t, 2015 I asked her a question I gathered while observing almost the full day on Tuesday the 8th. After her answer I learned that Lewis E. Wadsworth is the only school that determined if a child is in needs of ESE services. Guess who came up with this amazing process that has been showing to be beneficial? It is the wonderful teacher I was honored to observe Mrs. Lesley Poland. I don’t even know where to start. I was initially nervous when I signed in at the front desk, however as soon as I entered the classroom I immediately felt at home. Mrs. Poland and Mrs. Kathy both made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Mrs. Kathy is

During my observation in the classroom, the students with the help of the assistant teacher start unpacking their book bags. Afterwards, they sit down at their desk, waiting for instructions for the day. The schedule that is by the wall, Get Ready to Learn, Morning Meeting, Literacy, Language Art, Music, Lunch, Activity how to make a Jack-o- Lantern using a pumpkin, snack, to pack their book bag, and go home is what’s planned for the day. However, in the classroom there’s one student that is very smart for his age, he is four years old and already know how to write his name. Nevertheless, there is one problem, as smart he is, he doesn’t like to do work. I knew he loves the color purple, so I gave him a purple crayon, that smell similar

Our service learning project, was to conduct surveys for student athletes. The surveys were about the athletes and their tie to the community. Our goal was to get at least 200 surveys completed. Besides getting the surveys completed we also had to get their school Z numbers are proof.

A classroom observation was done during a LA class which time is during 1:45-2:20. The class consisted of 16 students, dividing into two groups. In class, there were one general education teacher and two paraprofessionals who were sitting each group. The lesson was about adding numbers with more than three digits. One of paras was working with Rashad. Rashad sat down by the window. When the observer walked in, the class was correcting Power-up answers, but Rashad was heading down and drawing on the backside of worksheet while the para was sitting near him. After correcting the answers in a large group, the teacher called Rashad and gave him a sheet to record his score. As soon as he received the sheet, the para came and helped him record his

Although there is a basic foundation laid out for educators, each teacher is different. There are a wide range of subjects, personalities, experiences, and values that makes each teacher unique in their own way. As students progress through the grade levels, they can carry something from every teacher they have. Some things may even carry with them throughout their life.

I have been a student teacher or shadowed teachers over the course of 5 years. Throughout this semester, I have observed a Physical Education teacher for a total amount of 20 hours. During this time, I have been able to figure out the different ways a physical education teacher instructs the class, discipline the students, and handles the responsibilities that are evident in a non-traditional classroom setting. I will be discussing my field experience hours and connect what I have observed to the course book. Specifically, I will relate the experience that I obtained with the ideas of positive reinforcement, motivation, and classroom management.

When I arrive at the school, I went right away to find the human resource. It was such a huge school that I already predicted I’m going to get lost. However, the people were very helpful and guided me which way to the human resource office. I met the secretary of the human resource and she welcomed me with a sweet smile. She was also kind enough to gave me a quick tour around the building. As I remembered, they have 2 separate buildings, one is mostly offices and the other one is the classroom building. The school offers education from pre-school to high school. After the tour, she referred me to the teacher in the classroom where I was doing my observation hours in a regular education classroom having students with neuro/physical-differences.
