On my first day back observing, I went to Oak Grove Elementary School. I was placed in two different classrooms. I observed Mrs. Robinson’s fourth grade classroom and Mrs. Moore’s fourth grade classroom. I was able to see two totally different types of teaching strategies and styles. All of the students were learning reading during the time that I was there. The reading lesson for this particular day was poetry. The teachers were explaining the parts of a poem to the students. They were labeling the stanzas, lines, and rhymes throughout a poem. Mrs. Moore’s classroom was set up with all of her students in groups of four. She did this so that her students could help the other students that did not completely understanding the
I picked to watch a child at a football practice. The child that was observed is approximately an 8 year old male that is African-American. Additionally, his height is approximately 3ft 5 inches and his weight is around sixty pounds. The hair color of this child was black and his eye color appeared to be brown. He was wearing a white jersey with blue sleeves and a helmet that was similar to the San Diego Chargers.
In the process, she has made at least one of her students uncomfortable,
This was due to the fact that her teacher, Miss Schmidt, used to be an expert and didn’t take suggestions from younger students, nor did she seem inviting to students to have them suggest to her their ideas. However, the glorious day came when Miss Schmidt decided to change things up in terms of how she teaches. This time, Miss Schmidt asked Cathy Davidson how she felt and if she would
How, when the instructor examines the poem, he could either sense the students underlying meaning or not even notice it. Also, Semansky sheds light on the fact that the student is testing the
The differences were minimal because Mrs. Pitcher and Ms. Valentine work as a team. An “ah ha” moment for me was to observe how well the kids work together and have well establish routines. The reading strategies used were reading groups by level and students answering comprehension questions. The teachers
The learning objectives correspond to CCSS.RL.8.1, CCSS.RL.8.4, and CCSS.L.8.5 (see 1a). In lesson 3.2.2, 3.2.3, and 3.2.4, students recognize each example of figurative language, analyze its meaning, and author’s purpose of using each example by filling out an H-chart (Instructional Material L3.2.2 #2). Furthermore, they mark any sound devices they see and make annotations for what they think the impact of each sound device is. (Instructional Material L.3.2.3 #1 and #2, L3.2.4 #1). In lesson 3.2.5, the learning objectives expect students to describe the ways in which lines and stanzas are broken up in poems in order to make the poem more meaningful.
On 06/16/15 at approximately 1258 hours I responded to 5538 Regal Oaks Circle for a report of four suspicious black males between the ages of 16 to 18 years of age. The caller, Giovanni who resides at 5538 Regal Oak Circle (NOI) advised the black males were observed walking around the neighborhood and jumping fences. He advised the black males were observed getting into a black in color, 4 door, Toyota Corolla. Giovanni also stated he thought the juveniles were casing vehicles or residence to burglarize. He advised there have been multiple burglaries to vehicles and residences recently.
Observation- On Tuesday12, 2016 the students were given a writing assignment about what they wanted to do during summer vacations. The assignment was given to first graders at Centennial Elementary School. The time was at five o 'clock and the lesson consisted of the teacher and eight students; five girls and four boys.
Rhetoric is an invaluable tool that writers can use to enhance their work. With this in mind, it is important when conducting research to be aware of the rhetorical devices an author may be using and how they effect a person’s research. Recent research on learning styles has turned out a wide range of facts, figures, and statistics. By studying rhetoric, a researcher can better identify a biased source. Over the past several decades, awareness of the three learning styles has grown significantly.
The period of time that I will be reviewing is coming from Mrs. Porter’s first and second grade ELL classroom. Pseudonyms will be in place for all students and teachers present in this description and story. On this particular day I was to help out at a literacy station. Stations are a regular routine in this classroom for all subjects, and the students really do enjoy this part of the day. It breaks up learning into different activities that are both individual practice and group work.
She could comprehend how that all teachers are the same. She had her students write down their personal education experience. Some of them were angry because they were passed with our being able to read or write, and the others because they did good in the class and was not a bad student. “I know one example doesn’t make a case, but at night I see a parade of students who are angry and resentful for having been passed along until they could no longer even pretend to keep up” (2).” Passing students who have not mastered the work cheats them and the employers who expect graduates to have basic skills” (2).
This artifact was completed in Palm Spring Elementary School, with the cooperative teacher Barbara Saad, who has a great training experience teaching at elementary level. To observe and recognize the demonstration of all indicators in Instructional Delivery and Facilitation was our main objective during this field experience. In order to know about the procedures used by the teacher in class my first step was an interview to her. Her answers to each question denoted her vast domain in the activity gaining my full admiration and desire to teach with so masterfully. After that, I directly observed her working with her students.
I observed Allie Hagerman’s Pre-Kindergarten classroom in the afternoon at Church Creek Elementary School on September 16, 2105 in Belcamp, Maryland. Observing Allie Hagerman’s classroom was very informational and I learned a lot about the physical environment of the classroom, as well as, how the teacher and para-educator work as a team in the classroom for the 16 children. Besides the physical environment and the team work observed in the classroom, I will share my opinions of the Pre-Kindergarten classroom.
I observed at East Side High School under Marcus Lewis who is the head band director at the school. My first observation with Mr. Lewis began with us sitting down and assessing the current state of his band program. He warned me right away that his vision for the band program differed from his administration’s vision. This led to a lot of frustration for the teacher’s in the music program and not a very ideal environment for students to learn. The environment is quite stressful for the teachers and students, and the students are the direct reflection of their environment.
However, both McRae-Gaines and Byrd acknowledge their high-quality intensive programs have had positive outcomes from its students (McRae-Gaines Learning Center, Byrd 1st Class Learning Center). The staff at Byrd acknowledged that young children learn better through engaging in spontaneous and reciprocal interactions (Byrd 1st Class Learning Center). Attitudinal gains among the students at McRae-Gaines and Byrd appear to be one continuous movement of students as they obtain the knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to succeed. The staff at McRae indicated that most of the student’s attitudes were quite positive; they had a desire to understand what they were reading they didn’t want to just finish the passage (McRae-Gaines Learning Center).
