Mrs Turner Observation

399 Words2 Pages

On October 13, I observed the second grade reading and grammar classroom of Mrs. Turner at Elkhorn City Elementary. The students were sitting at tables with their attention directed towards the smart board. They were instructed to begin their D.O.L., or daily oral learning activity, led by the teacher. The smart board was pulled up to where you could see Mrs. Turner writing on her own notebook paper as to visually walk them through heading up their papers and the correct format of sentences. The D.O.L. consisted of five sentences, each with two grammatical mistakes they were to fix. She would spell one of their spelling words incorrectly and they would have to recognize the error and fix the spelling. This week they were focused on “R” controlled words regarding the spelling list. (dirt, turtle, person, turn) This gave them a sort of consistency of the sound to determine the correct vowel to pair the “r” with. In our class, we just reviewed that the vowel before the “R” in the syllable is manipulated to sound neither long nor short. I recognized the students grasping the concept as they were going over each word they made relations back to the other words on the list. I was proud to hear the students giving suggestions to other words that are “R controlled” that were not …show more content…

The word they were to fix was “siting.” It was difficult for the students to comprehend that adding “ing” a lot of times doubles the preceding consonant. Once one of the students revealed the mistake, all of the students seemed to have their memory jogged of the concept but still wondered why. I believe that at this grade level they are beginning to make further connections as to why that we have these principles and rules for language. At the first grade level class that I observed they didn 't wonder why, they simply accepted the words as sight

After my one-on-one discussions with all the service crew workers, it became apparent that Tina Williams was dissatisfied with the way the service crew workers were working as well as the fact that Christian Segers and Alyssa Wolfe switched alleys mid-shift (a switch that they claimed was approved by Ana Velez). They also said that Tina Williams was cursing at them while complaining about the way they were working. Tina Williams denies swearing at anyone and says she was just concerned about the alley. In order to avoid a prolonged disruption to production for the rest of the shift, it was agreed that Alyssa Wolfe

  • Nancy Turner Wealth

    299 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Nancy Turner’s article, “Wealth and Value in a Changing World”, published in 2005, from Earth’s Blanket: Traditional Teachings for Sustainable Living, she addresses how the massive reshaping in the way wealth is perceived has affected indigenous ways of living and eating on Vancouver island. Turner argues that the shift in the priority of ecological wealth to financial wealth has induced the growth in power of western ideals and systems. As well, the decrease in the value of traditional wealth leads to the disregard towards environmental, economic, and social repercussions of the actions of these introduced systems, such as the loss of indigenous culture and knowledge. I believe that Turner’s reasoning is significant, because, while sustainability

    The researchers focused on the fact that an adult reformulation provided the child with immediate information on their error, contrasting directly with the erroneous utterance. (2003:640) Chouinard & Clark argue whether only explicit disapproval can be regarded as negative evidence. In fact, on some occasions parents don't correct the child directly, in order to maintain the natural flow of conversation. So other kinds of direct negative evidence are taken into consideration: expansion, repeats, recasts and requests for clarification. (2003:639)
