Observation:
I did a five day observation in a 00 class at a nursery school. I observed many interesting and valuable teaching concepts.
The classroom environment has a very bright and welcoming atmosphere and has a lot of natural light. There are nine learners in the class with five girls and four boys- a very diverse group of children. There are three tables in the classroom and three children are sat at each- the learner’s sticker …show more content…

The teacher has allocated a special seating arrangement for the best learning quality when the learners need to sit on the carpet for theme discussions and morning ring. To help with monitoring the teacher has a sticker chart and reward system and follows through with rewards and discipline. The teacher has a “five magic rules” which she does not negotiate on. The teacher is constantly assessing, has a tick system and all class and group activities are monitored by the teacher and the teaching assistant. The teacher uses a lot of resource such as charts, pictures, videos, books, toys, songs, singing, sounds, music, repetition, physical movement (running, jumping, walking), and search and find games. The teacher tries to use as many resources as possible. The teacher uses different activities such as constructive (sticking, building), sensory (different textures such as rice and flour play), painting, physical such as jungle gym play and bike play, reading, fantasy play, and puzzles. The relations are still developing but I saw that the learners do trust and love their teacher and are very excited to talk to her and tell her …show more content…

If there are major problems in oral (speech problems) the teacher will refer to the school’s speech therapist. If there are major written problems or major physical problems the teacher will refer the learner to the school’s occupational therapist. If the problems are minor the teacher will have a meeting with the parents are discuss how both of them could be helping the child. The teacher does constant assessment to follow up on the work ethics of the class and gives each child the opportunity to show their strengths and problem areas.

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.

The teacher should make sure that each student is involved in the lesson, ask process questions, open-ended questions, be patient when waiting for answers to these questions, and ultimately never say anything a kid can say. This method is something that I would like to implement in my future classroom. I know that it will take practice and perseverance, but it is something that I know I can

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

Children will require to be seated during the day in order to effectively retain the lesson.

Previously I thought a teacher only needed to know if the child was developing correctly and all student where treated equally. Although there are still some of this in play I have now taken a different approach. One of the interesting issue I learnt from this week was Development Appropriate Practice.

Observing children in a pre-k classroom I am told they are all between the ages of 4-5. I first shift my focus to their math center, an activity area on the far left of the room. Here I see blocks with patters, counters of different kinds, shape puzzles, books about numbers, big shape buttons and many other items. I noticed that although there is a variety of themes (farm animals, transportation) everything seems to be big and easy to grab and everything is essentially the same basic colors, with each individual item consisting of entirely one color. The reason why I am going into so much detail about the content of the activity center is because I initially noticed all these details as I was observing a group of three girls which seemed to have approached the center due to different reasons.

The teacher I will be observing over the next period of time is Laura Sturgulewski.

Classroom Observations Mrs. Canada is the first grade teacher that I observed, and the subject that she was teaching was reading.
