The Ct I Was Working Under A School For The Past Nine Years

e. Had any school official seen any signs of a threatening act about to happen?

Phone calls home to parents to give praise about how well their child has done.

As I welcome a new group of first graders every year, I often wonder what is in store for the new year. They always seem to have a very wide range of personalities, abilities, and maturities. We have the well cared for children that have been raised at home by attentive, mature, well-educated mothers. We have the somewhat neglected children being raised at home by immature, inattentive mothers…some who have barely finished high school. Then we have the children that have had to grow up in daycare spending an average of thirty-five

The first level of teaching I observed was early childhood, which I am currently interested in making my major. I went to Ms.Bizena’s preschool classroom at The Chapel School in Bronxville, NY. Her class consisted of five boys and four girls on that day. I arrived at about 8:30 and that is also when the students started coming in. When the students arrived they were allowed to have some “free play” time, some of the activities

My setting sends out regular letters to parents to inform them of their child’s attendance they also have regular reward ceremonies where the class

Starting with Infants, background information is essential in order to make the transition from home to school as smooth as possible. The program staff and families work together to develop a meal plan for the infant before the child starts our program. On the same note, upon arrival parents communicate on a Daily Communication Log, where they write the child’s last feeding and any special messages they want to inform the teacher. In

When asked about how this impacts her instruction and instructional time, she said greatly. She alters most everything for each student and group that they are working and developing at his or her level and pace. She mentions that it can be difficult to meet all of the student’s needs with just her in the classroom and only 15 minutes a day with the support staff for their grade. However, she has seen great improvement with students as the year went on.

News will be held every day in a “show and tell” format initially, and then moving to a more formal approach with set tasks. Year 1 will also complete in the school talkfest competition.

Learning as well as teaching has taken 180 turnabout. As educators we are competing with technology and dysfunctional home-lifes. However, one thing that never changes is fear of the unknown or change. The first day of school is P for everyone involved. Providing learner-centered “getting to you” activities allows students opportunities to not only get to know one another, but it also enables them to make personal connections.

General Observations: My past field placements have been in much larger schools; therefore, I was excited to have the opportunity to experience a rural setting. St. Rose is a small public school with a unique location. St. Rose is attached to the St. Rose Catholic Church. When I arrived, students were attending religion classes while teachers met in the teacher’s lounge to grade papers, make copies, and prepare for the day. Once religion classes were over, the “school day” started. I immediately obvious the students were very well-behaved; for example, students held the door open for one another and the noise level was appropriate in the hallway and classroom. Coincidentally, I attended a private school K-7th grade; for that reason, the atmosphere and behaviors observed were familiar.

On orientation day, parents are provided with many different services such as transportation, nursing, child welfare, attendance, and lunch forums. The school also offers parents a resource center if any parent needs help or if he or she would like to work on anything there is staff to assist them. The school’s philosophy of working with parents and families is every child is important. Throughout the school year a parent is given newsletters from the school that gives the parents insight about upcoming events. One event that the students love is the fall festival because the parents can participate. The Fall Fest allows parents to come together and enjoy music, food, and games. Other events that they conduct during the school year are graduation, movement with mom, and a winter festival. A few communication methods they utilize are text messages, newsletters, paste message, and phone

Back to school time: new clothes, school supplies, and hopefully a child's excitement to meet new friends.

The classroom follows a partial day inclusion program. Ms. Welsh’s classroom on the second floor of Village School is considered their base area. The student’s belongings are all kept in the classroom upstairs and they spend the majority of their time there throughout the day. All students are taught by both teachers for math, science, and social studies. For reading and writing, Ms. Wilush teaches three students in a pull-out resource room on the first floor of the building. When it is time for students to review those lessons, the three students make their way down to Ms. Wilush’s classroom with the folders and other materials they may need. Once reading and writing periods are completed, the students either return to Ms. Welsh’s classroom or go to an alternate room for specials such as art or music. Ms. Wilush and Ms. Welsh’s relationship can be described as both friendly and professional. Ms. Welsh is currently going to graduate school for special education, so she is learning a lot from Ms. Wilush’s work. At the same time, Ms. Wilush is taking the opportunity to learn from such an experienced teacher as Ms. Welsh who has taught for ten years. They believe that the best way to work efficiently and achieve the most success for each student is

At the start of each day, Mrs. Smith enthusiastically greets her students, and the class begins their morning routine. Each student starts with reading their library book for a few minutes. After all the students and Mrs. Smith has settled in the classroom they go over news of the day, and they read the word wall. This process is a daily routine for the students, and it gets each student focused, and ready to learn. The students in Mrs. Smith class rotate between three other teachers, so the morning routine is fast but effective. Mrs. Smith is always ready to take advantage of teachable moments, and be

My practicum took place on September 7,2016 from nine thirty to ten thirty. The practicum took place at Impact Early College High School in Baytown. The class I observed was Ms. Nguyen’s class of juniors and seniors that contained twenty students, seven boys and thirteen girls. The class appeared to be alert and ready to learn. Since this was their second period class they already had enough time to shake off their fatigue. The subject was Pre-Calculous and the topic was operations of functions. Students entered the classroom in a calm manner and socialized until it was time to start class. The teacher instructed the students to take their seats and take five minutes to write their assignments into their academic calendar. The teacher went
