Anecdotal Observations In The Classroom

437 Words2 Pages

When looking at this week’s discussion, it reminded me of a course that I had completed a few MODs back where I was conducting a list of assessments on a kindergarten student at my school. The parent wanted to know the results and compare them to children her son’s age even though I had already explained in full detail that these are only assessments for my course work so that I could get used to assessing students and that they are not used to compare him to other children. I did agree to share the results with her if she wished, nevertheless, after providing my explanation to her again, she did not want to see the results. Anecdotal observations “describe what happened in a factual, objective manner, telling how it happened, when and where

  • Pre-K Classroom Observation Paper

    The fourth finding I found was that even though Pre-K environments have an emphasis on group activities there was often a designated area in the classroom where children could go and be alone and self-reflect. However, these spaces were used differently throughout the three programs. In one program children went to what they called the “cool down chair” when they misbehaved. In this particular program usually a talkative child who may have been disruptive would have to go to the chair and think about what he or she did wrong. The chair was located in a corner where there were crayons and other play items that the child was allowed to use, but mainly it was a sort of punishment.

    Isn’t it great when you think you’re finally out of high school, but the week before you start classes at Texas State University you’re required to sit in cold classrooms and participate in icebreakers with other students you’ve never met before? I didn’t think so. During the summer I was excited to start college and have almost complete freedom to do what I wanted, but during that week at Texas State University I felt as if I was a freshman in high school again. One specific change that needs to be made to a Texas State University program is the removal of Bobcat Preview because it wastes the staff and students time and it wastes university money. Many people, including the Texas State staff and parents, believe that Bobcat Preview is a great time for students to view the campus and meet new people, but it is actually unnecessary.
