Common Area Observation : Lacy Elementary School

While at Ivor Dent I visited with Amber Casali, she is one of the full day kindergarten teachers. She shared with me some of the new challenges she is facing being in a new school. Amber is used to being the only kindergarten teacher in the school, she is used to having two washrooms for her students, and an entire room for storage and extra activity room. In this new school, the two kindergarten classes share one toilet, they have one small storage room and there is no

When I asked Ann and Scott, how the staff at Lakeview Elementary redesigning the environment to minimize problems behaviors, both of them discussed arrival procedures. Mr. Nelson stated that “in the past all students who do not eat breakfast at school or finished breakfast early, waited in the gym. Staff discovered that, having all the students in the gym at that time was causing chaos. The PBIS team reevaluated and ow students in grades 3-5 wait in the gym and students in K-2 wait outside of their classrooms. “

Westside Consolidated School District participates in the Summer Food Service Program that provides free meals for individuals aged eighteen and under. An experienced unbiased evaluator should lead the evaluation and preferable have experienced unbiased assistants (i.e. out of the district evaluators or evaluators with no direct contact or vested interest in the program). The evaluation should involve the inspection and understanding of the stated goals of the program (i.e. to provide meals to students eighteen and under in the summer). Stated goals should be analyzed to identify vague or redundant goals. A prior Risk Assessment Matrix is then used, modified or new one created to identify common issues of similar programs compared to the program

This article by Great Schools is addressed to parents considered about the current school lunches provided to the children in their district. Unlike any other source, this one focuses solely on 3 organizations that advocate. The diversity of the listed projects gives an opportunity to expand on different approaches to solve the various problems of the lunch program. However, there is no attempt to address the current issues of our system, requiring a previous understanding of how the school lunch system currently operates.

High school food options raise problems for students. School lunches may not be the cheapest option for the students or the district. According to "Duluth high school principals want to stick with open campuses," Duluth’s principal, Tonya Sconiers, opposes a closed campus because of the financial burden. This program change would cost the school approximately $239,000 to supply what would be needed for the new food policy. In addition, the lunches provided by the school lack quality. Students report the food as bland, and portion size is not enough to fuel for the entire school day. Numerous students involved in after-school activities cannot perform their best without a sufficient amount food in their stomachs. The food should provide energy for the students throughout the day. For low-income students, this lunch might be the only reliable daily meal.

On Tuesday, November 14, 2017, while still on duty, I observed a patrol vehicle parking in the front of the school. I waited until the officer got out and came to the front entrance in order to greet him. As I was talking with Officer J. Conser, I noticed a Hispanic female and male juvenile that was sitting in the lobby area started walking towards Officer J. Conser and me. He informed me that he was dispatched to the school for a harassment call.

West is next for the 8th graders at Hadley Jr high. With only a month left in the school year 8th graders are getting more and more anxious. Last Friday students went to a dance at Glenbard West. They got to meet the sophomore and students from other schools.

Starting my opening school experience I was nervous. I could not eat or sleep the day before. I woke up bright and early to arrive at Woodland Middle School by 7:30am only to find out the school did not open up till 8:30am. I was not upset that I got there so early, and in fact, it was a great because I got a chance to get familiar with the school and its principal, Dr. J. Stamper. Woodland Middle school is located behind Camp Creek and is on Stone Rd. Their colors are blue and gold. The mascots of the school are the Wolverines. Woodland’s mission statement: “Woodland Middle School is on the P.R.O.W.L. I am a Problem Solver Recognizing Opportunities, and I am Willing to become a Life Long Learner.” (Woodland, 2015)

Throughout this essay I will be discussing what I experienced with my time observing my aunt. I have been observing Julie Tolbert, my aunt, for a few weeks and have gained so much information that will help me tremendously. When the eighth grade students visited I was able to get a glimpse at what students in the upper levels of school were like and was able to make a definite decision on whether or not I would stay with early childhood or move to middle grades. After discussing what I learned from my different field experiences, I will discuss the different theories and models that I observed and compare and contrast what could have been differently. I will bring up the theories that I think were used that Julie did not even

For the second practicum, I was asked to be engaged for fifty hours on several administrative activities. For this assignment, I completed the following five activities: (1) working on the parent, student, and teacher handbook, (2) pre-interviewing possible teacher candidates, (3) observing a safety meeting, (4) data analysis, and (5) participating in a board meeting. This segment of the paper will discuss these aforementioned activities along with a reflection on these activities.

In high school, I had a broad understanding of my own classmates’ identities. The things that made them who they are were commonly known. This included socio-economic background, religion, where they lived, and what their parents did for a living. We each had various attributes that played into how we learned, or interacted. Despite our differences, we overall were very similar in the pure fact that we our parents were dedicated to our education, and thus sent us to a private school. Observing at Clay High School, I have seen how different this factor may be other students. The class which I observe is a remediation course. This means that the students are under their reading levels, and may come from backgrounds where parents are not as involved. These kids have bigger things to worry about than a grade. Also, I have noticed that public school teachers may have a different approach than private school teachers. They have a bigger class ratio, which means that an individual relationship with students is harder to maintain. Overall, I have observed how diversity and various environmental factors play into student development and how the teacher acknowledges this.

In conclusion, observing in Lewis E. Wadsworth elementary school with Mrs. Poland was an amazing experience. As I said in the beginning it was my childhood dream come true. I have always wanted to work with children who struggle in academics and everyday life. It has always been a passion thriving inside of me. I have already made plans to continue volunteering with Mrs. Poland and Mrs. Byrne’s. Mrs. Byrne is the EBD teacher. I was able to meet her in person today Friday September 11th. She has such a heart for these children as well. I would like to add she has incorporated many calming techniques in her classroom to help keep the children relaxed and comfortable. She was explaining to me how she first started off a few years back
