Observation In Springside School

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.

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.

On Monday, February 6, 2017, I, Officer B. McMillon, #135, of the Mansfield ISD Police Department was on assignment at Legacy High School located at 1263 N. Main in Mansfield, Texas 76063. At approximately 12:50 while on a disruptive student assist in the attendance office heard a loud commotion coming from the cafeteria.

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

I think that attending Towson High School and being a part of its Law & Public Policy program has definitely changed my perspective and opinions. Towson High School, a predominantly white school, was very different for me because I'm not a localite and I'd only attended predominantly black elementary and middle schools. While I have been able to recognize prejudice at Towson, as someone who is politically liberal in a highly diverse magnet, I have managed to work with, get along with, and befriend a magnitude of students and contributed to conversations that expand everyone's worldview.

R/ was further advised he can obtain a copy of this report from the Farrelly Justice Complex for insurance purposes if he so

During my time at Shenandoah Elementary School I observed Mrs. Fiol’s 2nd grade class. Her class is an inclusive class. I noticed that some students that seem to be advance still have behavior problem, which made teaching difficult. I learned a lot during my time in her class. I learned that you must flexible because the class must go on, and just because part of you lesson does not happen the way you expected it to go does not mean that you should give up. I learned that while it is trying to create an inquire lesson it is not impossible. With the correct resources and modification any student can perform an inquire lesson. I learned that an inquire lesson is better than the traditional way of the teacher just talking at the students. I also

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

In this paper I will discuss an interview that was done with a pre-k teacher. I will also focus on the observation in which I observed regarding the program, environment, teacher guidance and classroom interactions. The interview and observation took place for forty minutes. While observing I was able to the creative curriculum.

Naperville North students who have taken school lunch this year dislike the policy of having low quantity of food in their meals than last year.

The school that I chose to do my field work at is called Diamond Lake Elementary School. I chose to do this school because it is five minutes from my house and I work doing recess duty at the school. I am not a teacher at the school but I do work at the school which allows me to do observations there. According to the Illinois report card Diamond Lake has 330 students enrolled.("DIAMOND LAKE ELEM SCHOOL (2-4) - DIAMOND LAKE SD 76") both the Illinois report card it is 62.4% hispanic. Upon looking at the other races I found out that there are 24.5% white students, 6.1% Asian students and 1.8% black student.("DIAMOND LAKE ELEM SCHOOL (2-4) - DIAMOND LAKE SD 76") 60% of those students are low-income and 1% of them are homeless. Although they have more than half of their students on low income they have a surprising 96% attendance rate .("DIAMOND LAKE ELEM SCHOOL (2-4) - DIAMOND LAKE SD 76")

This lesson was taught in a second grade classroom at James H. Hendrix Elementary School in Spartanburg County School District Two during the 2015-2016 academic calendar year. James H. Hendrix Elementary School is the second oldest school building in this district. Although the building is older, the district has managed to keep the building in good repair and to provide updated technology and materials for the students and teachers at this school.

My experience at South Hills Elementary was a pleasant one. The overall atmosphere was cheery and bright and the kids seemed enthusiastic as I passed them in the hallway. I was in an all Spanish- speaking kindergarten reading class. My teacher was fluent in Spanish and English. One of the main things that impressed me was how well the children worked so independently. They all had something to do, and they all completed their tasks. Some of the kids were listening to Spanish music and singing along. Others were on the promethean board dragging letters to complete words. Some students were quietly reading in their chairs while the rest of the classroom was working around them. Another thing that impressed me was the way the teacher individually assessed each students progress to get a feel for their current reading level. Kids would be called over or she would walk over and sit down to read with each individual student. It was really enjoyable seeing her sound out the words with each student to make sure they knew what they were saying. In addition, the third thing that
