Recommended: The summary of teaching observation

I chose to go to Kidz place childcare to do my classroom observation. The staff was very friendly when I walked in and the children was already comfortable. I sat in the back of the classroom and every now and then the children would have a conversation with me while they was active and they included me in their group time sing along. They were not too distracted by me being there, they interacted with me but they were still focused on their activities. They did many activities from group time, to art, math, music, science, individual play and free play. They were respectful to one another and very smart. I observed the preschool aged classroom, I was around 9:38-9:40 when I went and I stayed until they have free play. There was a schedule …show more content…

Number Sense and Counting was used as the children held up three fingers and counted. It was also used when Michael used building blocks and separated them by color and counted how many was in each group. When Ms. Sunshine had asked him to add the blue with the red and tell her how many he counted each one aloud and stopped at seven. He said “Hmm, seven.” Ms. Sunshine then asked him to hold up seven and he did not know so they counted as a class together to get seven on their fingers. Some children missed a number but got to ten and some did not get past five. After saying it three times the children was able to say it together but some was still holding up the wrong amount on their hands but had a peer help correct it. This was a naturalistic experience for the class because they may have knew the number but held up the wrong number so the teacher helped them count.
During free time the children grabbed blocks (action figures) shaped as people, named them and played together. They decided who was going to be the sister and brother and who the mother was. This was considered as comparing. Amy took the firefighter outfit and went to the play kitchen to put out a fire that she said James and Sarah created while baking a cake. They laughed after and took turns being a firefighter. This was noted as Logic and classifying in social

All five of the activities were chosen in order to encourage children’s numeracy skills. The activities were based around the development of the four fundamental skills of numeracy learning. These are the ability to name and draw basic shapes and colours, able to count up to ten, begin to understand time and start to recognise patterns and routines. Monday’s activity, the Shape Art Mural, was chosen to allow four year olds to further their development for the milestone of naming and drawing basic shapes and colours. By incorporating both shapes and colours it allows for the activity to be more interesting for the kids.

‘How Big is a Foot’ by Rolf Myller introduces students to non standard units of measurement. If a teacher is working on measurement in the classroom, she can ask the students to search the classroom, measure and record the lengths of different objects like desk, table etc using their foot, hand spans or a string as a non standard unit for measurement. A great way to introduce children to measurement but due to its inconsistent and varying lengths of object, using this informal unit to measure is not dependable. This is a knowledgeable story for children because it teaches about size, perimeter and area.

Make sure that the quiet areas are together and the louder ones next to each other. Make sure that you have enough learning items for all the children.

I believe children in my care should be treated as unique individuals with amazing potentials. They are our future and I strive to help them discover, understand and express who they are and what is meaningful and interesting to them in their lives. By setting up a classroom that is interesting but also challenging I believe I allow children to follow their natural curiosity and create opportunity for finding answers to their questions. I am convinced children learn best through play time within the environment that is specially set up for a particular group of children.

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.

The classroom that I will be observing is a Preschool classroom at KinderCare Learning Center in Bartlett, Illinois. The teacher I will be observing over the next period of time is Laura Sturgulewski. She has worked at KinderCare for 8 years, mostly in the 2 year-old room until fall of 2013, when she took the lead teaching position of the Preschool classroom. Her classroom mainly has 3 year-olds, but on occasion has a mix of 4 year-olds and transitioning 2 year-olds. The number of students in her class depends on the day, because they are a child care center some students have a part time schedule, unlike an elementary school where children attend every day.

Each lesson was different and had different instructions, but the material was the same. On the first day that I observed the students had to complete a short worksheet. Half of the piece of paper was a short story called, “Sam the Snowmen”, and the other half was questions the child had to complete about the story. The teacher made them read the story three times, and to keep track of that number, the students filled in a star after each time they read it.

When we went to Mrs. Volks class my duties were to take down stuff of of the walls, read to them, help them with spelling words and do art projects. It was so much fun and you could tell how much the kids enjoyed it. Mrs. Volks class was a multiage for grades 1st and 2nd. It was really cool to see the different age groups work together and how they are similar and how they are different. You can tell with the 1st graders in class their handwriting is not as good as the 2nd graders and it may be a little harder for them to solve problems and figure out some things like how to spell words.
