My Observation At A Elementary Classroom

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

For my observation, I observed a first to third grade special day class at a public Fresno Unified School District classroom in Fresno, California. When I first entered the classroom all the students, approximately 10 students, were sitting down on the rug in front of the class as the teacher was reading a short story to them. When she finished they would go over their reading assignment.

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

In conclusion that Every educator observes the children identify the skills and abilities to be able to support the children’s development. In each age groups, the children develop skills and abilities at their own pace, however, the skills of preschoolers, kindergarten, and school-age have a wider development differences. That I noticed the Skills that was Observed in School-Age Video they knew how to explain the basic rules of the game to the educator, where the children were able to play Beyblade with rules, Also, they were using their memory where they knew how to explain the rules of the game . The school age was using self-regulation because they are planning how to play the game and how to start the game where they are becoming more selective and adaptable where they are waiting for their group members to be ready so they can start to play the game.

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

Last night I went to a Pre-k graduation for my grandson. I decided that would be a great place to observe parenting styles. Little did I know that I would be observing parenting styles of the older children instead of the 4-5 year olds. There was a family standing next to us during the ceremony and after. I noticed a 10-12 year old boy talking to a man, maybe dad, maybe mom’s friend? The two of them were communicating back and forth fairly well. There was a little girl in the graduation class that was very out spoken and she was cute, for a little while. My granddaughter made a few cute remarks about the little girl and the lady beside us did too. So Chloe, my granddaughter, ask the lady if that was her daughter. She relied, no, I couldn’t

In this lab experience I was observing eighteen to nineteen first grade students at Jefferson Elementary. Most of the observations take place in the classroom. I observe at different times of the day, so that I can experience different areas of study. I have observed this class with their regular teacher, two substitutes and the reading coach, as well as a portion of the class with two special activity teachers.

Ms. Penn’s Kindergarten class consisted of 9 boys and 7 girls. This was the last hour of the instructional day, and as I walked in I noticed that the students were already working in centers in groups of 3-4. This class was a little noisy and unorganized as compared to other kindergarten classrooms I have observed so far at Krahn elementary. The students seemed to be enjoying their time in centers and were eager to pack-up after cleaning up in the end since it was close to dismissal.

As usual, the children begin the day by having free play. I noticed that this method is used as a way to give everyone enough time to check in, while not having them miss anything specifically. I would say that the schedule for the Pre-K class begins at 8:30 am, when breakfast is served and mostly everyone has arrived and settled down. At times children do arrived while the other children have already been served. Today, I served the children their breakfast, which included a pancake, half a banana, and a cup of milk. As other children arrive, Mrs. M or I would offer them breakfast. Some said yes, while other said no. During breakfast time, Mrs. M joined one of the tables, as she had her own breakfast. Before sitting, she did ask “Is it ok if I

Kindergarten children thrive when they can work independently and cooperatively with a small group of peers (Gullo, D. F., 2006). A kindergarten teacher who is teaching students to work independently and in small groups while learning about numbers must understand that the students are very diverse and have been taught in many different ways. A kindergarten teacher is a very important person in the life of the children entering elementary school. Teachers at the kindergarten level must keep in mind that

For my observation, I observed a second grade general education classroom at Emmanuel Children’s Mission. The day of my observation, I met with Mrs. Cooper, the classroom teacher to go over the purpose of me examining her classroom, which is to observe three students. I observed two boys and a girl, one African American boy and the other boy and girl were Hispanic. They all were seven years old. Student A, the African American boy according Mrs. Cooper, he is on the spectrum and receives small group instruction through RTI. Student B, who is the Hispanic boy he is learning well thus far, without any signs of a learning disability and so is student C, the girl.

With thirty-eight students are being taught by just one teacher there is only so much one-on-one time available during class times. “"Kids are unpredictable, and kids need attention. In smaller classes, you can give them the attention they need. You can allow them to express themselves and you don't have to make them be quiet so that others get a chance to speak. It is not our job to simply make kids memorize information and regurgitate it on multiple choice tests, but rather to encourage their participation in classes and

On August 10, 2016 I was dispatched to Hull, Jackson Elementary School on an Unruly student incident. I spoke with Mrs. Martha Phillips, Principal of the school, she stated that second grade student Jairon Day, hit a teacher in the face today. I spoke with Mrs. Erin Cox, she stated “At approximately 11:30 I picked my class up from art and took them to the courtyard for recess. JD followed instructions during recess. We came in at 11:45. As we headed up the stairs JD did not want to come with the class. He did come upstairs but kept wandering away from the class. He cut in and out of Mrs. Cross’ line and tried to go into the teacher’s workroom. This lasted several minutes. He would not get in line but did finally follow directions to stay with the class.

At the end of the lesson Students are going to be able to describe where they live using the verb "vivir" and "tener" in Spanish. During unit two, they been using the these verbs and in the beginning of the lesson they answer the "Do NOw" activity where I asked then: ?Donde tu vives? They answer the question in Spanish and used the verb in the correct tense. After that, they answer a listening question where they had to identify the part of the house using the vocabulary proposed at the beginning of the lesson. Finally, they started a project where they had to create a Floor plan and describe their ideal house. For this activity, they have to use the verb "tener" in present tense. The completion of these activities ensures the acquisition of the new vocabulary and the verbs tense. It is important to mention, that this lesson will continue next week because students need more time to complete their DOL activity.

Observing at Mahopac Middle school taught me a lot. I learned how important a motivating opening to a lesson was. It set the stage for the entire lesson and had students engaged from the very beginning. I also saw how group work allowed students to discuss ideas and help each other. I also saw how a teacher used different forms of instruction to teach a lesson. The teacher used group work, discussions, use of primary quotes, and a video to teach the lesson. The teacher also used effective questioning to get students thinking and brainstorming. I learned a lot about teaching Social Studies during my visit.
