As soon as I stepped in this classroom, I was amazed by all the class assignments exhibited around the classroom not only on the boards but everywhere. The rectangular shape of the room provided the need space in the class. This allows for a student work area, as well as an open space section in the middle of the class. The individual desks have been set up exactly in the middle of the classroom in small groups of three. There is a chart with the classroom rules and a list of the students to monitor their behavior. There is another with the days of the week, months and numbers, this chart is used for the date and to count using

    Over winter break, I had the opportunity to work as a substitute preschool teacher at the Jewish Community Center of Columbus Ohio. I was placed in the Turtle Room, the classroom for two to three year olds. Since a large part of the student population is Jewish, the preschool cafeteria only provided Kosher foods. I distinctly remember one day talking to the lead teacher in the classroom, Amanda about how one little boy, Henry would never eat his lunch or snacks. Henry would stick to only the foods that he knew like mandarin oranges or carrots and that was all he would eat.…

    When trying to figure out if a student will achieve academic success in a classroom the way a class is visually set up is overlooked and the main focus is on the amount of material the teacher will be teaching. A teacher is given a set of standards that is meant to help its students for the next class that they will eventually move on to but the way the standards are taught are up to the teacher. Most students retain the necessary material with the way the teacher engages them, relates the concept to common situations and uses the room provided. Our room LB 307 differs from my 10th grade English classroom in the way it affects the student’s success. The first thing I noticed when walking into LB 307 was the way the desks were set up, they are put together to form a circle and there are about five chairs to each group.…

    In the Pre-K classroom that I observed it consisted of several different centers for the children to participate in, such as: block area, dramatic play, art, library, sand/water table, music/movement, sensory area, finger painting, play dough, and the students got the opportunity to make their own snacks. Not only did the students get to participate in centers, they had the opportunity each day to go outside and play on the playground as well as having an interactive lecture every morning at circle time and when the students sat down at their tables to do their daily worksheet. I believe that the Pre-K class I observed was a mix between traditional teaching as well as constructivism, creating a balance between the two. In the morning during circle time, the teacher would “lecture” the students with the letter of the day, go over the date, months, days of the week, shapes, and the numbers up to the date it currently was.…

Along with these supports, I was extremely impressed by the way Mrs. Flinn handled classroom management. Even though I observed during a very exciting week, she had great control over her students.…
