In the class I was observing, the students start their day by doing different math and spelling sheets that they call “Morning Work.” Their teacher, Mrs. Michael lets the students alternate on doing their morning work and getting on the computer, so the children won’t get bored sitting there doing work. I liked how she let the children switch between the two activities because if the children are getting tired of sitting at their desks doing math Mrs. Michael will let them switch. I also noticed a few other things I liked about how Mrs. Michael does things in her classroom. Mrs. Michael would always make sure the children knew she was proud of them for working hard on their work. Another thing I liked that Mrs. Michael did with the students was separating them into groups. The groups the students would …show more content…
Michael let me work with the children more. I was able to sit with some of the students individually and read with them. I got to play a game with the students that helped them learn their sight words. Me and Mrs. Michael both worked on helping each of the students play the games and learn the words. One thing I noticed while observing today is how excited the children get when Mrs. Michael congratulates them on their work and their effort. Mrs. Michael makes sure to give each student positive feedback on their work even if they weren’t completely correct. I feel like the students in her classroom know they do not have to be right all the time, but if they try their best Mrs. Michael will still be just as happy. Mrs. Michael gives the students words to read every week and if they miss the word they try again next week until all the words have been read, Mrs. Michael makes sure she praises all the students even if they only got one word right because that was still one more than they got right last time. By observing I could tell the students and Mrs. Michael all work together to make sure they students feel good about
I have my own idea to find out what happen, then Sam smiled strangely. He turned his head toward the stairs and cried loudly , "There is a gost, AAAA!! , I'm so scared! As he screams, he turned to the group of stunned people and said," Come, repeat after me! "
Within the poems “On the Pulse of Morning” by Maya Angelou, and “One Today” by Richard Blanco, several challenges of the times the poems were written in were displayed, though not directly. In “On the Pulse of the Morning,” the Rock that Angelou describes wants us to “face [our] distant destiny, but seek no haven in [the Rock’s] shadow.” This line represents Americans looking out at the destiny of America. The Rock warns the reader away from the shadows, which typically symbolize evil, atrocity, and corruptness. Continuing on in the poem, Angelou expresses through the River that people “have left collars of waste upon [the River’s] shore, currents of debris upon [the River’s] breast.”
Every moment is a memorable part of the journey of life. I have always appreciated the value of giving to others because I believe that just being able to lend a hand to others, no matter how trivial it may be, is what makes life worth living. However, my desire to help people started when I began working with children as a teacher’s assistant. It would instill in me a lesson that I would never forget.
I was fortunate to be placed in Ms. Gohil’s classroom because her classroom was dedicated to students with special needs. This allowed me to experience first hand what an actual special education teacher does during a typical class day. I also was able to see paraprofessional work with the students on constant bases, not like my previous experience where the paraprofessional would only visit the child for approximately 20 - 30 mins per class period. What I also like was that I witnessed various behavioral changes from students and was able to see in real time how the teacher and paraprofessional handled these behaviors. At first, I did not understand some of the techniques that were being used, but then I would ask Ms. Gohil questions and
Every students learns things different ways, and Torey made sure she taught to accommodate each individual child’s learning style. She also taught them etiquette and manners and defined what typical classroom behavior consisted of. The students, in turn, listened to her and respected her both as an educator and a role model in life. They all had their kinks, but the all worked together and figured them out together. It was sort of a type of family concept.
She has also caused the students to discuss information/the lesson amongst each other. Before her appearance, the students haphazardly read and learned lessons, mostly loathing the information retained. But yet, Ms. Ferenczi manages to teach them in a way that makes them discuss amongst themselves. Such an example is when the text reads, “At recess the class was out on the playground, but no one was playing. We were all standing in small groups, talking about Miss Ferenczi.”
As the days progress, there are always new adventures waiting each day. I constantly learn new skills, meet wonderful educators, volunteers, and most importantly, assist children who have the potential and enthusiasm to achieve different goals. My day started on a rainy, Monday morning, no different than any other Monday, so I thought. I traveled to Johns Island on this day; Angel Oak Elementary School happened to be my morning destination. When I arrived, I did not expect any additional duties, other than observing tutors and students throughout sessions.
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
In my last week in Wilkinson Middle School I was observing Classroom Procedures .Ms. Culberson is a very fun teacher but she is really strict in every one that enters her classroom knows that .Ms. Culberson might not be in the class whenever the bell rings but her students know to start in the bell ringer. She times her student and they all have to work quickly and quietly. They grade the bell ringer after words she asks for their grade and they have to say it out loud.
I started doing my field Experience in Lime Kiln Elementary school where I shadowed Mr. Mikalov, a fifth grade teacher, When I first walked into his classroom it was so colorful and full of artworks, student works and inspirational quotes I felt happy walking into his classroom so I would imagine what a fifth grader would feel like. Mr.Mikalov was very generous in showing me around the classroom where they have their group work, reading area on the rug. He showed me the schedule they follow every week, they do math every day from 12:13 to 12:55 and have lunch every day at 11:26- 12:08 and off course I took a picture of it to know when and what they are doing that time. Mr.Mikalov introduced me to the principal who is very nice and welcomed
While in the first grade classroom, I was able to form a great relationship with my mentor teacher that allowed me to be very hands on with the students throughout the semester. Among many things, I learned how to run an educational circle and calendar time, worked with small groups of students to improve reading, provided practice spelling tests to students, assisted students in developing their writing abilities, and implemented the class’s behavior management plan. While I worked with the fifth grade
Michael using “Give me Five” as the established signal to get students’ attention. When she gave an assignment, she gave them clearly stated directions and requirements, and during one assignment, I observed her using an online timer that displayed the time limit they had for the assignment. She modeled the behaviors and attitude that she expects from her students. Often time, she would address problems confidentially with the students causing disruption. Students felt comfortable and genuinely happy to be in the classroom.
The teacher reacts with the children to keep them interested and moving. Some of the time the children just likes to sit in the teacher 's lap and not get involved with the other children. One day, Mrs. Lauren sat on the rug during sensory play and two of the children wanted to sit in her lap while the other children wanted to play. Sometimes the children seem to get out of control. Mrs. Lauren always makes sure that she handles the children with love and care.
The students were highly engaged. I could say that the concepts to be learn were explicitly linked to ELLs’ background experience and past learning. I listened to the teacher’s speech and voice projection, it was appropriate (not too slow, not too fast), and she emphasized the importance of being respectful/active listeners. She ensured that each students had sufficient time to respond to her questions, and clarify if a student seemed confused (regarding the objectives). As the students did the group work, Mrs. Carbone foster noticing.
I participated in several school meetings. After working with students in small groups, I evaluated my mini lesson for student improvement. My students were able to work independently, collaboratively, and utilize feedback from other peers. This taught me to reflect on advantages and disadvantaged of the lessons
