My Mentor Observation

On September 25th, 2017, I observed my mentor teacher’s math lesson plan. Since math is scheduled from 12:00 to 1:05 in her classroom, this lesson was about 50 minutes to one hour long.

stretching. The teacher calls instructions from the front of the room as she participates herself. She does a rotation of exercises, but each day consists of 5 moves with 10 reps each; squats, lunges, etc. I have learned a lot from my mentor through my observations during his P.E. classes.

My participant observation might be different from others, but I was extremely dedicated and devoted to learning everything I could about the helpful benefits of marijuana if grown organically
