Comparing Sam And Jan In A Different Classroom

Right before the school year started Tripp’s mom took away his guitar. It was taken because he wouldn’t listen or do any of his summer reading. She wanted Tripp to good grades or wait till next summer to receive his guitar back. When the school year started Tripp borrowed the school’s guitar, although he was not suppose to. Tripp sign up for one of the two practice rooms. He got the room A on odd days during lunch time. There is this other student named Lyla

When the class sang songs about happiness and games her lips barely moved.” Margot ignored the other children, the only time she participated was when an activity mentioned the sun. Margot keeps herself apart from the rest of the class while she talks about experiences with the sun, when that is what the kids want the most. Although Margot’s classmates hurt her because of their jealousy, Margot was also partly to blame for since she keeps mentioning something that her classmates has always wanted.

Another thing that surprised me during this child study was the gap of social development in the students in Kayson’s first-grade class. During my observation, I got to see both sides of the spectrum in terms of proper social behavior. In the lunchroom, I observed the students at

I had really enjoyed my life in Newmarket, but I was time to start my life in New York City. My dad got a job there, so my mom and I moved there with him. I really liked my last school and had lots of friends there that I would miss dearly. It was the first day of school and I didn't know what the kids at this school would think of me. As I walked to school, I wondered what my fate would be today. I was almost at school when I noticed something unusual. I noticed that all the kids at school walked in cliques. Nobody in a clique talked to others cliques, and it felt like they wanted to isolate themselves. This was weird for me due to the fact that at my old school, everyone talked and socialized to each other. I walked into the giant building, and it was like nothing I had ever seen before. The school was massive, and it was at least 3 time bigger than my old school. I had to find my own way to my first class, and got myself lost several times, but I finally found where it was. I walked into the classroom and the teacher greeted me and I was introduced to the class. I went and found a seat at the very back of the room, where the only seat was available. I noticed as I sat down, the kids started to look at me in a funny way! I wasn't sure what this meant but it made my stomach turn, as if I knew something bad was going to happen. As I walking out of class I got bombarded with tall strong boy’s. They

Sean became more and more aware that he was different than the rest of his classmates. He would get frustrated when he was not able to learn something as fast as the other children. This caused Sean to lack the self-confidence that is a crucial element in getting a good education. Sean would isolate himself from the other children, eating his lunch all alone at a solitary desk off in the corner of the lunchroom. When walking down the hall, Sean would often follow several paces behind the rest of the class sometimes refusing to follow at all. It would appear his detached behavior would cause Sean to harbor feelings of resentment towards the other kids. Seemingly frustrated by the fact that they advanced at a rate he could not keep up with, Sean would on occasion, physically assault the other children without any warning. The repercussions of his actions were not the

Paul’s father made the choice of moving him and his family to Tangerine Florida, because he got a new job offer and wanted to take it. Paul was excited for his fresh start at a new school with a new name other than “Mars.” Moving to a new school was great for Paul at first, but then everything went downhill from the time he walked through the doors of Lake Windsor Middle School. Paul was told that his classes were outside in portable classrooms, while the sixth graders would be inside with regular classrooms to be in. At the end of the day, everything got worse. Paul faces another complication at Lake Windsor Middle School.

Drama is always prevalent in any scenario. Everyone gossips about everyone. There is no way to avoid this. This presents itself inside and out of the classroom and everyone gossips about anything they are capable of. Students share the relations between other students discreetly. Rumors circulate and soon certain students face ridicule from a large portion of the student body. “The Plastics” do this all with their “Burn Book.” Despite the methods used, these have the same results. Eventually, someone unearths rumors and more drama ensues. Consequently, drama is not unfamiliar to either

1. Context/ Introduction: For my third observation, on Monday October 17th, I returned back to the Kean University Child Care Center. Just like my second observation I came for my observation for the hour of 10:30-11:30 am. This time in the classroom there was four teacher aides and the teacher Ms. Kierah. When I walked into the classroom I was surprised when one of the teacher aides told me that Ethan has a lot of energy in class that day. She explained that Ethan had a lot of energy that his listening skills were a little off as well. Once she was done explaining this I was anxious to see this for myself. I saw Ethan was playing at the middle table with one other boy Steve. Quietly, I sat at the table to the right of the middle table and began my notes.

Her classes were basic. Mornings consisted of breakfast and then pre-algebra. The Basics of English followed, and then dance lessons and a general science course. The teachers called on students with names such as “Silly One,” “Messy One,” “Troubled One,” “Careless One,” “Rude One,” “Moronic One,” and “Superstitious One.” Often scoffed and brushed aside, Stupid One barely had any friends – Moronic One and Superstitious One considered Stupid One a friend, but they seldom talked. Moronic One stuttered and stumbled over his words while Superstitious One grumbled about demons infesting the

According to V.B’s fifth-grade teachers, she reportedly takes more time than the average fifth grader to adjust to the school’s schedule and each classroom teachers’ routines. In addition, V.B’s teachers notice that she finds making new friends difficult and she often uses negative behaviors (i.e., whining, throwing papers or utensils on the floor, stomping her feet, banging fists on the desk, laying herself on the desk/table) to obtain attention from adults and peers.

The children came walking over to the carpet to sit down for story time. “Miranda.” I said “It is time to join our friends on the carpet for story time.” Miranda walked over to the play kitchen and sat down in a leather chair apart from the rest of the group. I walked over to the circle time carpet and sat down on the tile floor outside of the carpet. Ms. Alyssa said “Miranda we are reading a story now so, you need to come and sit with the rest of us.” Miranda stood up and walked to the middle of the classroom but, stopped there and stared at Ms. Alyssa. Ryker was walking around the classroom. Ms. Justine said “Ryker, it is time to sit down and listen.” Ryker looked at Ms. Justine and said

For this child observation, I decided to observe my younger brother Jacob. Jacob is 5 years old, but he insisted that I write that he is almost 6. He is also in kindergarten this year and loving every second of being a loud, rowdy boy. I suppose I am at an advantage in this observation since I have seen the numerous developments in Jacob’s life thus far.
