My Classroom Observation At College Grove Elementary

I did my observations in a first grade classroom at R. L Brown Elementary school. My supervising teacher had strict guidelines about the lesson that she was allowing me to teach. Because I was doing my observation so close to the end of the year, I could only teach during the science block. She allowed my to choose between two standards. The standard I choose was LAFS.1.RI.3.9 Id( Identify basic similarities in and differences between two texts on the same).I spent a lot of time doing my lesson plan called the and different, and I tried to plan for everything possible. To be honest my lesson went okay. It was the little things that caused the most problems. I learned that actual teaching is a complex profession. There are always a million

or physical education with mrs. Fluit, but we had a substitute teacher who I like more than any other physical education teacher I have had in school. For the activities in P.E. we listened to some rules like no chewing gum in class, be respectful, always wear your P.E. clothes when you do the activities, no slacking during the activities because you will lose a lot of hard earned points, and make sure you don't go in the taped off area, that's for teachers only. After they finished telling us the rules, we got our planners and some other papers for our parents to sign as well as a nametag that we got to design by

I observed a sixth grade classroom (eleven to twelve years of age) at a middle school in Ringgold, Georgia. The classroom seemed to be fairly even in regards to how many children of each sex were in the classroom. The majority of the students were white with a few african american and hispanic children among the mix. The sixth grade classes did not have enough employees to only teach one subject therefore, the teacher that I observed taught language arts and mathematics. The first thing you notice when you walk into the classroom is the mathematical shapes all along the upper wall like a wallpaper border. These shapes were projects from her students in the years before. The next thing that you’ll notice is the way the desks were set up. They were set up in three separate groups. One group of around twelve desks faced the

To begin, over the course of this semester, I had the opportunity to conduct my history classroom observations at Sierra Vista High. This high school is a public school located in Baldwin Park and is part of the Baldwin Park Unified School District. Sierra Vista High School has a student population of 1,895 students. The student population consists of 90 percent Hispanic, 6 percent Asian, 3 percent Filipino, and 1 percent white. These demographics were shared by the vice principal of the high school. While I was at Sierra Vista High School, I was given the chance to analyze and observe three history teachers. Thus, in this paper I will discuss and share my experiences observing the

To set the demographics, Lacy Elementary School is a 60-year-old neighborhood school. Originally built to accommodate 500 students, the school is now over capacity, reaching a high enrollment of 650 students. Located in an urban school district, a majority of the students qualify for the federal breakfast and lunch program. The district has recently experienced a new rezoning, and in result there are buses now bringing 200 students from the surrounding neighborhoods to the school. Lacy Elementary opens its’ doors at 7:30 a.m., although school doesn’t begin until 8:30 a.m. Teachers are not required to report to school until 15 minutes prior to school beginning, however, teacher assistants or paraprofessionals are paid a stipend to supervise students before and after school. Although they have this opportunity, there are only two individuals who have chosen to supervise in the breakfast program. To provide additional assistance, PTA volunteers and administration are currently helping supervise when able.

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.

Every month the spring side community leaders inspect every house in springside, and decide which house is worthy of the yard of the month title.This is a friendly even competition between the springside community, but it hasn't been so even for the last three months. When you turn the corner onto crestknoll way you see a house with a blue mailbox and matching blue flower pots near a big rock in the yard, this house, house 2401 has won the yard of the month award for the last three month. In this story I will be talking with the people behind this yard of the month streak. I will also tell some of the tricks that house number 2401 uses. The target audience for this video would definitely be anyone interested in winning yard of the month in the springside community, and anyone who would be interested in keeping their

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)

I am placed in a third grade classroom at BB Elementary (preK-5) in NN city, MM county. According to the BB website, the school enrolls around 480 students, two-thirds of which are English Learners. The demographics of this school are comprised of primarily Hispanic, African American, and South Asian families. All instruction is done in English. The pacing of this school is determined by the SBAC, or the Smarter Balance Assessment System based on the California Common Core standards. The MM school district determines the pacing based on how each school scores on the SBAC. Due to low test scores, and to keep up with this intensive pacing, the school and the district has removed recess from the daily schedule.

My daughter, Mellanie Cruz, is currently attending Olive Street School. During the 2015-2016 school year, she was enrolled as a pre-kindergarten in Mrs. Gutierrez class. For the next school year, I would like Mellanie to attend her class as a kindergartener. I feel having Mellanie attend Mrs. Gutierrez class for the new school year will reduce a lot of back to school anxiety that may arise being in a new environment since she already feels comfortable with that teacher. One thing that I really appreciate about Mrs. Gutierrez as a teacher is the communication she has with us as parents. Anything whether it is positive, negative, or any concerns she may have, she is open with us and is of help in any way she can be. At this time, I would like

Conducting classroom observations are very important to the prospective teacher. Observing helps show how experienced teachers manage their classroom. For this observation it was important to notice how the classroom was arranged, how the teacher interacted with the students, the teacher’s management style, and interview the teacher.

I am a big believer of leading by example; my philosophy with getting across to our youth in this era is “yes you can.” Kids tend to give up so easier now a day than before, because of the negativity and so many different ways out. With technology and parents being easier on their kids, it’s hard to have kids be active this day in age. My philosophy in life leading into a teacher is to over prepare and to treat the kids as one of mine. You can’t treat the kids as a stat or just a number in your class; I want to put my full attention in each kid and to show how these physical education aspects can prepare you for the rest of your life.

Classroom observation is a main approach of teaching research. Scholars or researchers use video to record the real whole class and observe the teachers and students’ actions, words and the efficiency in the class. Though the observation, they analyze what approach is more suitable. This paper will select video 5 and video 3 as the material to do the classroom observation. Different aspects such as teachers’ responds, questions, instructions notes and students’ behavior will be addressed to analyze the efficacy of this class.

During my observation time in a kindergarten classroom, I have noticed that the students have a wide variety of abilities, attention spans, interests, and love for learning. When it comes to the teacher’s instructional strategies, she intentionally takes into consideration all of the above characteristics to make sure each student gets what they need to be most successful. During lessons students are engaged because of the teacher’s ability to implement interests of the student’s into things and giving them options. If an error occurs during a lesson, the teacher normally, allows for the student who got something wrong to try again, or to call on a friend to help them out. This way the students are still giving the answers and not the teacher just telling them the information. The teacher chooses a lot of small group instruction and centers where she can work with a small group, but then, easily monitor all the other groups to make sure they are on task and doing their work.
