Paper Clipss In The Classroom Analysis

My first observation was completed by my school professor. Going into the lesson, I really was not sure what she would be looking for when observing me. I felt this was a good thing because not knowing, I just taught the way I usually do and as nervous as I was, overall I was pleased with my performance and evaluated effectiveness as a teacher.

The Holocaust is looked at in lots of different ways, but in Whitwell,Tennessee the middle schoolers looked into the Holocaust in a very unique way. The small town of Whitwell, only containing a total of 1,600 people only having five African Americans and one mexican. It may have come off as a racial town when really, they were a very tight knit community. The project started when the students had no idea what six million looked like. The students decided to collect paperclips, they were easy to collect and also had a meaning to the Holocaust. The paper clip was made in Norway, the Norwegians wore the paper clip as a symbol of all the people in the Holocaust,because they were not able to speak out against the Holocaust. At first, the project

Some students in Whitwell, Tennessee, a very homogenous town, decided to increase awareness of the Holocaust by collecting paper clips to represent the six million Jewish people who had died. The goals of this project were to increase tolerance and diversity in the school, the town, and the world in general. They decided to collect paper clips because in the 1940s the paper clip was a Polish symbol to show that their thoughts were with the Jewish people in concentration and death camps, and they decided on six million paper clips because Hitler murdered six million Jewish people. While their original goal was six million paper clips, they got so many paper clips and raised a lot of awareness for the victims of the Holocaust, that they ended up putting eleven million paper clips into a rail car, representing the total number of people that Hitler killed, that was soon turned into a permanent memorial to the Holocaust. While the Holocaust was heartbreaking, there are also positive things that can come out of it, such as raising awareness and preventing intolerance and

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."()

This classroom was very organized and it did have a lot of things labeled. I recognized that the teacher had a lot of things in her classroom labeled. She had words like door on the door in the classroom. She used a lot of bright colors. I also recognized that the teacher did a lot of one-on-one with her students. For example, she did very small group activities and a lot of the activities consist of one-on-one activities. She allowed the children to experiment with the project. She stated that she like to have children to participate in morning discussion. This time allows her to introduce the new letter of the week. She believes that children learn a lot of literacy through song and dancing. The children would sing the songs as they played in the classroom. Some of them would dance to music.

The classroom observed for this assignment was a 4/5 year old (pre-kindergarten/kindergarten) room in a local day care. After researching the correlation between play, development, and diversity, many realizations came to light. First, there are different stages of play and they all correlate with the developmental stages. Then, diversity is

I observed at a daycare called Children's house, I have observed here before and I know the teachers very well. I interviewed a teacher that was formally called Ms. A now called Ms. C who has been working there for 10 years. The Children's house is a private, suburban daycare with 20 children. The room that I observed in is a 3 to 5 year old room. Ms. C had a lot of 3 and 4 year olds. 7 of her children are 3 year olds, 11 are 4 and only 2 are 5 year olds. in her classroom she has 4 children with speech problems and 1 child with a development delay. She has an aid named Ms. M who works with her during the day. Ms. C tries to make their jobs equal, Ms. C teaches lessons and Ms. M teaches other lessons. While they are at center time they have one teacher work on a activity and the other teacher will drift around and insure that the children are behaving well and are out of harm's way.

Introduction of Topic and Study Interactions between groups of people at sports events, especially on college campuses, have a large presence and seem to bring groups of people together. A group in sociology can be defined as people who interact with one another and who believe that what they have in common is significant; also called a social group. The audience ranged from children to seniors, from diverse race and age, but all seemed to share multiple norms and behaviors throughout the game that were fascinating to observe. The subjects, though very diverse subgroups in the audience are being studied, held similar norms and behaviors that created a sense of community among the audience, especially when specific obvious behaviors were reciprocated

The children I have observed were adolescents and were going through the beginning stages of puberty. I used my knowledge about concrete operations to observe the students rational thinking and logical thought. For example a student was given a task to do their assign class work without any socializing

The following discussions took place over several separate observations; the participants were three paraprofessionals, three special education teachers, and one assistant principal. The discussion centered on the Booktrack website and its usefulness for students receiving special education services. The paraprofessionals, Diamond, Karla, and Cindy, work in the Challenge program at

I also think that it is important to choreograph your classroom. Your experience as a teacher proves that some form of choreographing is beneficial for the way your classroom is managed. I also see how it can eliminate distractions and disruptive behavior. Choreographing your classroom helps your students know how you expect them to conduct themselves in your class and produces an effective learning style and environment. Through this video, Ms. Saul shows us how she used what worked for her classroom management through using her background as a fine arts major to help students move quickly and efficiently around the classroom through choreographing.

The key units I am currently observing are practices that go around the computer science classroom at San Diego High. The practices I am observing are the recurrent categories of talk or action that I deem to have analytic significance. Every morning a practice Mr.Kinne engages in is starting class by greeting each individual with a beaming smile and inquire about their daily life or current grades. He reminds the class to not use electronics, listen to music, or wear hats/hoodies in the classroom. I notice he talks about this specific policy everyday, but never actually enforces the stringent rules. When students raise their hand to ask a question, Mr.Kinne pulls up a seat and sits next to them casually before helping the student. The action he does looks very friendly and represents the

The objective of my survey is to examine different ways add different flavors that would attract a more variety of age groups Cardon, P. 2013). As a whole, I would like to attract customers of all income levels. I would especially like to add a different topping that would attract the younger group (Cardon, P. 2013).

Have you ever been to Tennessee? Even if you have, have you ever been to the small town called Whitwell? I you have, you’ve probably seen their Holocaust paperclip project. The principal needed an after-school project to teach the kids about racial diversity and judging people based on race. There

Class environment: Mrs. Hillman's classroom had math poster on the walls placed around the room. One poster board on the wall showing lattice multiplication and traditional multiplication she gave the students' a choice to choose which type to use. Another poster was on the board with the acronym CHAMPS: C- construct your plan to solve the problem, H- how else can you solve the problem, A-apply knowledge, and strategies, M- mark, highlight or circles keywords and numbers and P-problem solving the model, S-show how you checked your work. The students finished work also posted on the wall label as good, outstanding, and you got it!
