I have visited the Cranbury Presbyterian Nursery School and have observed the classroom in great detail during my last three visits. In this preschool classroom, there are usually 8-10 students present whose ages are from 2 to 2 ½. There are also three adult staff present without including myself. This classroom consists of two rooms which are connected to each other. One room only has a large circle rug and a rectangular table. The other room adjacent to it is slightly larger and contains multiple centers and activity areas, which I will later describe in detail. Bathrooms and sinks are also present in the classroom. And the children have access to a playground with a sandbox outside. For this facilities paper I chose the two …show more content…
And with teacher interaction, the faculty are always warm, supportive, and caring. They show respect towards the children and the children enjoy their company. One of the major things I noticed in this category is adults helping children with social behavior and peers. The teachers does this very well and is always trying to teach the students how to avoid conflict. In this age group children tend to be egocentric and have trouble sharing with their peers so I have seen many instances of children walking over and grabbing an object out of another student 's hand. But when this does happen the teacher immediately notices and then asks them to “use their words” and to practice saying phrases like “Can I play with you please?” By doing so, this helps with their social development since they are learning how to cooperate and resolve conflicts. Their daily routine is also well structured, balanced, and flexible. In order, their schedule consist of arrival and play, morning meeting, small group activity, outside play, snack, large group activity, closing activity/song, and parent pickup. Overall, these aspects of the checklist, along with many others received high rating and are very present in the classroom. However, I noticed a few things that were either absent in the classroom (received a rating of 1) or was satisfactory but could use
This school is a licensed childcare program and NAEYC accelerated. The center is providing child care program for children age from 2.9 to 5 years old. There is 2 preschool classroom, I did my observation in preschool classroom room no: 1 on 10/2/2017 time from 9am to 10am. There are around 13 children in the classroom.

1. The only change in the classroom was all of the children special notes from their parents, "My child is Special because" The teacher posted them on all them were posted on the door.
Harvey always listens to the students, attempts to understand what they are saying. The only weakness is the staff do not always address the children in a respectful manner and will sometimes call them names like brat to another staff member. On page 215 the readers are told fostering resiliency in a person and showing respect are approaches that share the same goal of healthy emotional development. The teachers not always being respectful may have an effect on the children’s emotional development. When it comes to interaction children are always supervised during play. The children interact with each other nicely. The Mrs. Harvey and her teaching assistant are sometimes quick to put a child in time out when their behavior is the same as everyone else’s as a way to calm the class. The interaction with the parents is good too, the parents are constantly informed about their child and what is going on in the
Hi everyone, I am observing on Wednesdays from 8-10 and Fridays 3-4 in Cuesta Children’s Center Preschool 2. I believe a child’s environment can affect their mood, social skills, ability to learn, mental health, and physical health. These essential elements need to be meet or it will affect their adult lives. I feel the Cuesta Center does a remarkable job of offering all of these, and has wonderful transitions throughout the day. I enjoy observing the teachers modeling acceptable class room behaviors, asking open-ended questions while using descriptive language to help to expand children’s speech, and they were engaged in the children’s presents. I was engrossed with how the class offers multiple opportunities for children to broaden their
This week I did both an interview and a small observation of my third grade host teacher's classroom. I was first able to interview my host teacher. Miss A does use many of the techniques for teaching words that were listed on my observation form. Specifically she uses crossword puzzles, dramatizing, word sorts, possible sentences and dictionaries. She also uses many techniques that are not listed on the observation sheet as well. She does a lot of repetition with her students. She has them right there words in rainbow colors, in vowels and consonants colors, in alphabetical order and many more that I didn't see. Miss a believes that " they are all useful for different students. Some students feel like crosswords are helpful and others feel like pictures are helpful" () I would completely agree with her statement in this regard. I do think it's good to have many different options for the many different students you have in your class. Miss a believed that there were a lot of benefits to wide reading. She make sure that the children are provided with a variety of texts especially her students who are ELL students. She mention specifically that it "helps build their schema for Content areas such as social studies and science and the vocabulary that goes with that."()
When the children leave at the end of the day, their parent’s receive a written record of their child’s day went. Meals/snacks received a score of seven because staff provide healthy snacks for the children, are aware of any allergies, and promote healthy habits, such as washing hands before and after meal and snack times. Nap received a score of seven because nap is routine in the day’s schedule. Children are safe while napping in the classroom and quiet child-appropriate music is play during the entire naptime. Children can bring a blanket from home to help them nap easier. Diapering/toileting received a score of seven because sanitary conditions are always met and there are child-sized toilets and sinks to make the process easier for children. Health practices received a score of four because when the children play in the sandbox on a daily basis, it is never covered when it is not being used, allowing possible hazardous objects to get into the sand, not to mention the fact that the sand will continue to get dirty. Safety practices received a score of seven because the staff members are always follow school safety rules and procedures and explain to the students why they have to follow these specific rules and procedures.
On Thursday, November 3, 2016, at approximately 10:51AM, I, Officer Larry Thomas was dispatched to Hooper, right at the bus stop, in reference to two males fighting.
In summary of my response the unprofessional staff, vignette to children and unsafe environment because you need more care giver for infant /toddler groups. The infant/toddlers, preschool, and grade school children is similarities is adult -child ratio but the differences because they have different level for the children material and age. They have their children secure and safe environment including welcome every individual children culture, background and
During the experiment of boys, I observed three men in the 20s who were talking about homework last weekend. During this experiment, A was on his computer talking about finances. B and C were locked into their computers without looking at A. The connection between the men seemed disengaged, as the DVD described. Most of what Deborah Tannan found is that the boys would sit at an angle. However, the participants had a couch, sitting besides each other. When they watch a movie, they would still talk and listen to each other, but would look at each other rarely at times. It lasted for a few minutes because they went to go eat together. In summary, they talked about sports and compared their teams over each other.
Teachers focus on building genuine relationships founded on respect, empathy, consideration and effective communication with parents, children, families and local community members.
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.
It is really amazing how excited students get with the possiblity of using the computer in the classroom to assist them with their lesson. The teacher added that she uses it as a reward system, stating how affective it is in maintaining order and control in the classroom. Students knew how to navigate, go to various websites that were related to the lesson and create a folder in which to put their assignments in.
I conducted my observation on November 3, 2017. I observed a fourth-grade language arts class taught by Robin Smith. Mrs. Smith exudes a love of reading and knowledge from the very moment you meet her. Mrs. Smith’s classroom is a warm, accessible, print rich environment complete with anchor charts, a word wall, and alphabet chart. Mrs. Smith and her classroom environment inspire each one of her students to find a passion for reading and learning. Mrs. Smith demonstrates an understanding of the social-emotional environment, and its importance to the success of a child’s learning experience. Although the social-emotional environment is much harder to grasp and see it is just as important as the physical environment. Mrs. Smith’s approach for classroom management demonstrates how a positive social-emotional environment can lead to an effectively well managed classroom.
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.
The following data was gathered while fulfilling duties as a principal intern at Theresa Bunker Elementary School. The data was observed during five to seven minutes of classroom observation as part of a walk-through in the spring of the current school year. My cooperating supervisor for my internship was able to go on these walk-throughs with me in order to have a productive reflection meeting afterwards. This elementary school has two of each grade level from Kindergarten to sixth grade. Since it was more feasible in this small school setting, I actually was able to do a walkthrough in eight classes. Here I will report my observations from five of those walk-throughs. As I went in to each room I was looking for four
