When you walk into Amy Zache’s warm and inviting first grade classroom at Beiger Elementary School, you are greeted by twenty three of the most beautiful smiling faces.

Along with worrying about the

For my observation, I observed a second grade general education classroom at Emmanuel Children’s Mission.

I observed two boys and a girl, one African American boy and the other boy and girl were Hispanic. They all were seven years old. Student A, the African American boy according Mrs. Cooper, he is on the spectrum and receives small group

Observation of Student While observing the students in my classroom, I focused on how engaging and motivated they were. The eighth graders at Pine Forest did not have a good seventh grade math teacher, so the students are very behind. They know that they are behind because Mrs. McLamb tells them all the time. Instead of it discouraging them, it motivated the students to want to learn. They know that they must catch up, so I saw the students trying their best to stay focused and be engaged. I noticed

Today I observed Mrs. Terry. Mrs. Terry is a former kindergarten teacher who is now part-time teaching preschoolers. She currently works at First Christian Church Preschool. Her class has both male and female students. She only has 8 students whose ages range from 4 to 5 years. From observing Mrs. Terry I have decided that her philosophy on teaching is based on E.D.

During the observation time I was placed in a first grade classroom. Walking into the class I began to look around and smile, there was so much color all over the classroom I could not help but feel happier. The teacher immediately stopped the class and told us what they were doing that morning and had each student introduce themselves to us. They went around and stated their name and then went back to their math workbook. When they were finished with their math worksheets they were then able to

The classroom that I observed was in Kindergarten at Hopkins Elementary in Kirby, Texas. The classroom consisted of 16 students; 12 fluent in Spanish and 4 fluent in English. The ESL level is a Dual language of 90/10. English is used to reinforce when needed and continuously throughout the day. Mrs. Trimble had a few students that spoke both languages coming into the classroom but needed additional learning. Her instruction within the classroom was verbal, written, and visual aids.

When I was volunteering in Ms. Charlene Carrillo’s Pre-K class at the Pre-K 4 SA North Education Center, I decided to observe the social skills of a Pre-K student. The student I decided to observe was a little girl, named Josephine (Josie). Josie was a sweet and kind 4-year-old little girl, who was always the first one to raise their hand to answer a question.

Classroom Environment A general population third grade class was observed to further understand the psychological aspect of teaching. The Title I school classroom observed has sixteen students, eight girls and eight boys, and is almost entirely made up of students from a low socioeconomic status (SES).

The teacher has made adjustments to seating assignments and layout due to student behavior and feedback

The teachers were very engaged
