My observations was done in Ms. Henriquez third grade class at Morningside Elementary, room 508. I began my observations on October 5, 2015 to November 2, 2015.As I entered the room and took a seat at one of the empty desks, I noticed how organized her room was. Her classroom was small and colorful. She had twenty students in her classroom. She divide them into four group of five. Students' backpacks and jackets were placed on the back their decks. She put ten pencils and ten eraser on each groups, two for each students. This method allowed Ms. Henriquez easy access to walk around the classroom while teaching without any interruptions. I noticed that she had a behavior chart with facial expressions on it. When I asked her why she had it, she told me it was to let the parents know how their child was doing in her class. …show more content…
The classroom rules were posted on the side wall where students were easily able to see them. However, in my EDF 2085 Introduction to Diversity class I have learned many things about the field of teaching. For instance, I have learned that it is not as easy to be a teacher as everyone thinks it would be. The impact of a good elementary school educator is something that sticks with a child the rest of their life. It sets the tone for what kids will come to think of the education system as they get older. Therefore, while I was observing this third grader class, I took notes and paid close attention to what topic she was
When you first walk into the classroom you unknowingly familiarizing yourself with your environment, for example; you notice the low buzz of the air condition humming above you, the navy-blue standard school chair, cold to the touch from hours of vacancy, the four posters posted on the beige bulletin board that reminds you of the color of your tea after you have poured too much cream into it, or even the ten unfamiliar faces staring straight at you. There is a white board in the front of the classroom for when there are assignments or notes that need to be taken. The smooth grey tables have two outlets in the middle that allows students to charge devices if needed. There is also an orange and black cord that wraps around and in-between desk like an out of control jungle vines. Everything in the room has its own place and
At the end of the class, she saw her students were yawning and sleeping. “I said, ‘I’m sorry. I’ve been boring you.’ I packed up my notes and left the room.” After she saw the situation of the class, she left the class as a result.
There are two groups in almost everything and us as human beings tend to categorize everything whether they are people or subjects. The dichotomy of the classroom meticulously separates the teacher from the student. The teacher sits in the front of the classroom away from the other desks and away from the students. The position of the teacher’s desk is a cognitive example of authority and power. The students, on the other hand, sit together as one body scattered around like many of the other objects in the classroom setting.
The individual selected for my observation is Maria at the preschool center where I work. Maria is 4 years old and was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. Maria’s dad was also diagnosed with autism. Maria is in an inclusive classroom setting with other children of different ages ranging from 18 months to 5 years. She lives with her parents in the city of Philadelphia and is the only child of her parents.
She used this strategy to keep them from playing too rough with their other classmates. She had a genuine bond with every child she taught and every classroom she taught in. She once said, “The surest test of discipline is its absence.” (Clara
According to developmental psychology a person at any age is at a certain stage of cognitive, moral, psychosocial, and physical development. This development is measured by different types of thinking, mental capacity for tasks, physical strength, and reasoning for following rules. Development is easily seen in children. Naturalistic observation is the one of the easiest method to see these developments in children. This is the observation technique I used, while watching a five year old male at Kindercare Daycare at 3:30 on a Friday.
This is a minimalist, fun and safe student oriented room. Figure X The teacher is able to scan the entire area without blind spots. Math corners, alphabet, number dots, charts and theme boards are positioned with the young learner in mind.
On 10/16/2015 an unannounced inspection was conducted, I was greeted by Theresa the receptionist who contacted Linda Young, Person in charge. Ms. Young arrived about 2 minutes later, I handed Ms. Young my business card and stated my purpose of the visit and explained what documentation I would need to complete the investigation. A complete walk through of classrooms and playgrounds including the Wellness Trail where incident occured was conducted. In the infant building there are 4 classrooms, which 3 are being occupied at this time. In classroom 1 of infant building Sue Ann Cozart was caring for 4 infants 7month-15 months.
The school that I attendent to was the child development center. I was looking around the environment where child development is place at really quiet neighborhood. The neighborhood has a lot of tree and not really intersection road. I came in 10/19/17 it was in the morning around 10 am but they had a earthquake drill.
Introduction This assignment is in two parts. The first part of this assignment would attempt to use the theories of human development to explain the child behaviour observed during child observation at the preschool while the second part of this assignment would propose an intervention on a scenario at my practice placement. I would demonstrate my critical understanding of the theories and evaluate their relevance for evidence-informed and value-based practice. I would conclude by articulating my critical appreciation of the use of theory to inform professional social work practice based on my experience from the child observation and my placement experience.
Along the east wall of the room, two centers were designated, one being a reading (quiet) center with two bean bag chairs and several book shelves filled with different levels (reading) books. The other center was a manipulative center, which included several puzzles, games, and interactive manipulatives. Along the south wall of the classroom was a long table with three computer stations set up on the table. On the west wall was several cabinets and shelving for teacher supplies and files. Along the north wall was the teacher desk, and another center area with bean bag chairs, and several iPads, cd players, and other technology devices.
I think that the physical environment can play a major role in a child’s learning. If the classroom is very closed off and blocked the children will not feel free to explore their surrounding and become more independent. Ms. Laura’s classroom is very open and spaced out, even though the center itself is built with an open concept and only having half walls to divide the classrooms. She has organized the room in such a way that every though the different centers are clearly laid out, it’s not in such a way that makes them feel enclosed and blocked off from the rest of the room. The environment offers children a variety of different choices all in one area, all of the math, science, and table toys are together, so that a child does not have to search the entire room for something that they are looking for.
