School Fieldwork Observation

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

In the society, people interact and express their behaviors differently. Sometimes the personality of a person can be identified by different factors such as body language or facial expression. This field work observation report will give more details about individuals’ behavior. There were 10 people being observed from this field work. The first case was a woman who was on the conversation on the phone while sitting. It was 6:20 AM on Monday, Nov 7 in the ticket office of Lansdale train station. I was sitting in front of her. The woman looked around constantly during the conversation. In addition, whenever the door open, she always looked who is walking in. Sometimes she took a short breath, fondled her hair, and lifted her toes. The second

Today was my first time going to Cragmont this year. However, I have been going there for the past two years as well. Last year I was used as an aide so I rotated through classrooms and worked with kids one on one, so most

Field observation this week was kind of hard. After working with the kids its really hard to know that I will not be working with them again for a while. I really enjoyed getting to work with the kids and learning from Mrs. Morfit. I have been an assistant aid, an a P.E. Teacher and a parent ant the Crestone Charter School but it has been interesting to see the school from another side.

For this assignment, I chose to observe an afterschool program session with ETSS at their North I site. ETSS is a local nonprofit organization, whose mission is to be the focal point of integration for immigrants, refugee families, and low income individuals in Central Ohio in order to improve the quality of their lives, to facilitate their integration through education, training, supportive services, and self-development opportunities, and to increase the awareness of their culture and heritage in Central Ohio. This site hosts children from the Nepali community, ages 6-18. I chose to observe this site the first week of April. I was first introduced to ETSS this past program

There time is scheduled based on the student grade levels. Since there is a teacher and two aides in this classroom, each teacher is assigned a grade level lunch hour. For example, Mrs. Whaley and I both have lunch during the 3rd grade lunch hour, Mrs. Jordan has lunch during the fourth grade lunch hour and Mrs. Beaver has lunch during the fifth grade lunch hour. Both of the aides are also assigned to a lunch duty. They are to supervise the playground during recess. Recess duty is the only time of the day the aides spend time with genera education students. Both Mrs. Beaver and Mrs. Jordan had different schedule. Mrs. Beaver comes in at around ten o’clock while Mrs. Jordan is at school early so that she can be at breakfast duty. Since Mrs.

During a brief interview with Mrs. Poland a few minutes before class started on September 9 t, 2015 I asked her a question I gathered while observing almost the full day on Tuesday the 8th. After her answer I learned that Lewis E. Wadsworth is the only school that determined if a child is in needs of ESE services. Guess who came up with this amazing process that has been showing to be beneficial? It is the wonderful teacher I was honored to observe Mrs. Lesley Poland. I don’t even know where to start. I was initially nervous when I signed in at the front desk, however as soon as I entered the classroom I immediately felt at home. Mrs. Poland and Mrs. Kathy both made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Mrs. Kathy is

Going into this observation project I didn’t know what to expect, nor did I know what type of school I was going in. I’ve observed schools back at home but I know that schools run and operate different in other states. So I decided to go with an open mind. I’m so happy that the school and Mrs.Delk was so welcoming. Before I went into Mrs.Delks first grade class, I already and in mind that I want to teach older children. So, I just want to see what I could take from the children, the classroom and the teacher.

The background and foundation of the study is based off of several research studies on classroom environments in Kindergarten Classroom. The approach was adopted by NICHD SECC in kindergarten and preschool programs. The research discovered the high correlation between teacher interactions, classroom environment, and student achievement. The research was the basis for this particular research.

It was an ordinary school day, the first day of 8th grade. It all started with the ride to school.

There were the library’s tables located towards the front of the library. Then in the front right corner of the library was the table with all of the doughnuts and drinks. There were so many families that there were some families that were sitting on the floor and reading. Then there were parents sitting in between the library shelves, so yes, this kind of hindered the communication between everyone. Not everyone was on the same level, to where parents and teachers could talk to each other without getting up. As students were walking out of the library they would pick up a book that they choose right by the

During Middle School I was invited to my first sleepover by my neighbor Kayla. My precept of a sleep over was doing the same nightly routine one would at home, but within another household. I was over enthusiastic like a child getting ready for a field trip to a museum they’d been to a dozen times. I arranged everything from my clothes to my toothpaste. The only thing left was to ask for permission. When I brought up the subject to my mom, her response was “ Why would you rather sleep at a strangers than comfortable in your own home?” In my ten year old mind I thought, “she wouldn’t understand.” Its not out of the ordinary for parents to be wary and strict when it comes to their children.

Our service learning project, was to conduct surveys for student athletes. The surveys were about the athletes and their tie to the community. Our goal was to get at least 200 surveys completed. Besides getting the surveys completed we also had to get their school Z numbers are proof.

My overview project was intended for an eighth grade reading class. The students had a ten day lesson plan based on the types of point of views that they would encounter. The main point for this unit was to have the students understand the characteristics of each point of view. Point of view is crucial to have the readers understand their readings and who is speaking during the text. The classes were constructed in two types of ways, some were teacher lead and others were in peer groups. The teacher lead gave the student the proper information to put in their information packet, and the peer group interaction was to help the students understand and work together on the point of views. During the peer groups they will be reading and writing

An activity that I did in elementary school that I think would be a great idea to keep it going is that the teacher brought in a bunch of goodies that are circular. Some of the things that she brought in were pizza’s, cookies, pies, Oreos, etc. Before we got to eat anything, she explained to us that pi is the ratio of the circle’s circumference to its diameter. We all washed our hands and put on gloves to measure the diameter of the food available. Not only did she stress the importance of Pi, but when she cut the pizza we talked about fractions with the number of slices that the pizza had. I think that this is a great lesson for teachers, that I would love to use in my future classroom. Pi day is always supposed to be fun when in elementary
