Hypothesis
Ms. Mundatuchundayil or also referred as Ms. M teaches second grade at St. Vincent de Paul. I have been observing this class for about seven months about every Wednesday. This is a Catholic setting where I had to attend Mass and was allowed to talk about religious views so it’s different than most practicums I hear about in class. From my observations, I hypothesize that Ms. M focuses on cultural responsive, DAP, and children’s behavior in order to manage and organize the classroom. Cultural responsive involves poverty, guidance, and linguistic competence which means interplay of genes, development, culture, and experience that defines common humanness and individual personality (Gartrell, 2014). This ensures that students are receiving the best possible education with high quality instruction and have resources to take home for extra help. Also, students being able to gain knowledge and respect each other views and opinions. For example, show and tell about their culture or having them draw something special and hanging it up for everyone to see.

M spends two or three times a week on creating reading centers in order for the students to comprehend the reading and their fluency. She also organizing groups according to reading levels and making sure she places dominant with students who need more help in order for both to learn from each other. From what I have seen she only has a reading center and with each reading she creates individual work to be done with the book that the students read. For example, journaling or creating sentences with sight words that is taught. Then she uses popsicle sticks with their name on it to call on them to share what they wrote. The centers allows for self- directing/ self –correcting because they are more comfortable in groups and can correct themselves easier than when reading as a class (Gartrell,
