1. My General Reflections and Impressions
This was my last observation. In comparison to all my other observations this was my favorite. This was the age range that I would like to be with and the teacher that I was observing was fantastic. Most teachers that I observe change their curriculum to something they feel will meet my needs or whatever the case may be. However, this teacher did what she does naturally in her classroom.
2. What I Observed and Learned
As the bell rang for class to begin students began filing through the door. As they did they placed there backpack in the back corner of the room, which was actually where the door was. Then the students went to their seats, which were placed on the desk, and they moved them to the floor. …show more content…
When the teacher asked the students which writing exercise they wanted to do many of them didn’t want to do either and instead came up with another one. Writing is a subject that many students dislike. If they are able to come up with something that the vast majority would like to do, then it becomes something they have more interest in and will do. There will be times when there is no agreement upon anything so the teacher has to make the call. But, if the teacher listens to the students it makes the process, for any subject matter, something the students enjoy and are excited about. For instance, they were constructing a flower and the students couldn’t wait to start making …show more content…
Topics That I would Include in Future Lesson Plans that Would Be Relevant to Teaching English Language Learners
During my time observing I heard many students sounding out the words that they wished to write. This idea is important for students learning to write but can also be used from English Learners as well. This is a great method to learn how to pronounce, read, and write words.
5. Effective Instructional Practices That I Observed for Teaching English Language Learners
Illustrations and words can help teach English Language Learners. With the assistance of pictures they can make the connection of what the word is. For instance, the students had to identify the apart of the flower on a picture. Then they were to label these parts. The students were able to make the connection of what the word was and where it applies to the plant.

How did you know you wanted to teach first grade?
If you had another option what grade would you
