Middle School Classroom Observation

Miss Moore shows a high level of confidence towards the children. While they may talk behind her back and make many rude gestures, she still stands up for herself and give the children a the guidance she feels they deserve. The story portrays a town that is full of unfortunate children. The children may not have been shown proper way to do things or the correct social skills in life. Miss Moore makes them work hard and shows them how a respectable adult should behave.

Above are pictures of Mrs. Pollard’s classroom at Hartwood Elementary School. The atmosphere of the room is extremely bright and learning-oriented. The lighting is bright and there are posters around the room that are colorful. The picture on the left shows the set-up of the entire room and the picture on the right shows the front of the room from the perspective of the students. If anything is difficult to see in the pictures, Mrs. Pollard has Orff instruments set up on the side, a piano in the front, and two desks in the back; which leaves a space in the middle of the room for students.

She inspires Scout to be who she wants to be, and shows that dresses are not required to be a lady. During one of the many meetings on Miss Maudie’s porch, she tells Scout, “You are too young to understand it … but sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of ― oh, of your father,”(Lee 60). Scout immediately jumps to Atticus’s defense, saying that he has never drunk at all except for one time when he tried it and realized he didn’t like it. Miss Maudie laughs and explains that what she meant was, “If Atticus Finch drank until he was drunk he wouldn’t be as hard as some men are at their best,”(Lee 60).

I observed classroom 4 on March 15, 2016. I also observed classroom 4 on May 12, 2016. Inside the classroom they have a lot of different activities for the children to learn and play. There is an area for children to read. The teachers also have a bookshelf for the children to choose a book and the children can read.

Moreover, Mrs. Welch was a teacher who would understand if you had a particularly bad day, and she would always listen if you needed help outside of the classroom or the school day. One specific event I remember was that she always wanted the students in her class to get along with each other and to not argue over meaningless things. Therefore, if there was any kind of third grade “drama” in our class, she would figure out what the underlying problem was and teach us how to fix it without hurting anybody’s feelings. I find myself able to recall several instances in which she would pull a group of kids out into the hallway to settle a dispute between them that was almost always frivolous, considering we were in third grade.

Detailed Record of Observation: 7H45 am I arrive at the office and I am well received by Bev, the Principal Directress of the school, who walked me to meet Heidi, the 3-6 year old Directress who took me on a classroom tour while the children were still outside playing. She tells me that the 5-6 year Old does normally start their school work before others, at 8H30, because they are on a school readiness programme. These children work on a BRIGING book which enables them to be prepared for CAPS curriculum when they start Grade1. Heidi introduces me to Sherrie, her assistant.

Children covered in glitter and glue is a sight to witness. Scattered around the room are broken crayons, uncapped markers, and torn paper scraps. This image at the end of the day at a preschool means that it has been a good day. When the day had just begun the sound of feet pattering and bouncing down the hallway was perceptible. The teachers knew that when all the children entered the room and saw the table aligned with crafts every student’s eyes would light up with excitement.

During the week of March 10th -20th, I went back home to New Jersey. When I went back home, I did my observation at Hawthorne Avenue Elementary School. This school runs from pre-kindergarten through the 8th grade. The purpose of this paper is to see what theory best fits with my candidates that fall under early childhood, middle to late childhood, and adolescence. Each interview that I did with my candidates were face to face.

The majority of the language classes in West and East building had 5 or 6 groups of working stations and chairs with a collaborative setting option for students. There was an evidence of functional electronics like classroom projectors. In addition, classes had clean space for students to move and work. Regarding to the safety issue, all classes had an evaluation plan on the door. Some of Applied Arts Department classes in West building did not have windows.

I observed Mrs. Ruffs 4th grade class at Carlin Park Elementary on Friday, September 15th at 9:30am. The class consisted of 13 girls and 12 boys. While I watched the class, I focused in on trying to notice the difference between the two sexes. I observed that the girls can compete at this age level with the boys. The girls were almost if not as athletic as all the guys in the class.

Consider the implications of a "harder" discipline: statistics. The middle school data is drawn from the three middle schools which all contain only three grade levels. I 'm sure the high school data is drawn from the 9th grade academies as well as the high school so you have 4 years of data from the high schools compared with 3 from the middle schools. With the elementary schools you have an even greater disparity because you have not only 4 years of test data (2 - 5) but also most elementary school students have two years prior to any data extraction (K-1) to stabilize and adjust to the transition to elementary school. These extra years at the high school and elementary allow for the effects of the statistical phenomenon of regression toward the mean to ameliorate the effects of outliers and

One of them is Tutoring Program that offers opportunities for students to ask questions, ask for help, and discuss with tutors in a specific subject. For example, there are many tutoring services in Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and other hard courses. Furthermore, Supplemental Instruction program is a part of LLRC, which gives students chances to form a group session and work together with other students to succeed in a harder subject. This program also helps students to socialize with others outside of the classroom. Last but not least, LLRC provides many workshops too regarding English, Math, and other learning activities.

Kindergarten through third grade I attended Rozelle Elementary school. The school had two different buildings, it was the kindergarten through second grade and then the third through sixth grade.
