Decent Essays
The class observed on October 9 of 2015 was Mrs.Gilliam’s kindergarten class. Due to circumstances, I was then again placed in Mrs.Gilliam’s class that happened to be in specials during that time frame. The specials for Mrs.Gilliam’s class consisted of going to the library. When entering the library, the librarians directed all of the students to sit on the carpet. In order to get the students from talking, the librarian put her index finger on her mouth indicating to be quiet towards the students. Once the students settled down, the librarian read a book called “ A bad case of the stripes” to the students. If students were disruptive while the librarian read, they were given a warning and if they continued they were instructed to sit on

    While observing at P.S 105 X in The Bronx, Mrs. Downs’s second grade classroom is a surprisingly calm, regular classroom with 25 students.

The wall is switched out each month with different books that go along with the unit.…

    Observation: Rise Program Physical Setting Rise is a beautiful facility. All of the windows looking into the classrooms and looking outside are my favorite because they provide light, openness, and a sense of connection throughout the whole building. The commons is also a great area. It is large and open for all of the kids to spread out and explore their surroundings, while engaging in gross motor activities, such as going down a slide, riding a tricycle, or jumping on a trampoline.…

    It was in Peoria, an excruciating hot day. An insipid yellow light surrounded the hallways, as the unappealing smell of dirt circulated through the vents of Centennial High School. All of the students sat at their desks, wearing a very widespread variety of clothes. Each student possessed a different style of shirt, exposing some forearm or shoulder. In one classroom sat one girl who exposed her whole shoulder, due to be punished within the next minute or two.…

    Turning to our right, and then turning to our right again in a half circle, we marched up the minorly-slippery baby blue stairs, holding on to the cylinder shaped railing, that almost allowed us four to see our reflection in. Reaching the landing, we found our way to Mrs. Messina's classroom. Waiting for Mrs. Messina to call us in, I glanced up at the bulletin board which showed different papers we had done for the past half year. When I got bored of looking at the many papers stapled to the board, I resorted to pacing the multi-blue carpeted floor, that warmed the majority of the school…

    Spending two and half hours in each classroom, I learned a great deal about early childhood education from ages birth through eight, and the effort and skills that it takes to create a stimulating learning environment.

During my observations at the CCC Childcare Center, I learned plenty about the methods and practices that go into early education before primary grades. The preschool classroom really stood out to me because the centers in the classroom were very open ended and filled with lots of manipulative for…

    SEP #4 In my observation of a Kindergarten class, there were many different teaching methods used. The teacher used many visual aids, and example would be when she asked the students to draw a pig.
