Personal Narrative: Only One Child In Class

Improved Essays
Day One: There was a big snow storm so there was only one child in class. I was not able to pick a Roo-Buddy.
Day Two: Everyone was in class. I picked my Roo-Buddy, Eliza. I learned that Eliza has a speech problem. So my activities are geared more towards language development. I let her color and design a folder. The original one was never given back, so I let her draw on another one. I got to know her on a more personal level today.
Day Three: Eliza has been out of school because of pink-eye. I did not conduct a lesson.
Day Four: The lesson that I conducted was a rhyming one. The class has been learning about pets for quite some time, so I based the rhymes off of animals. I cut out pictures of animals that rhymed. Eliza then sorted the animals by how they rhymed. Knowing rhymes and word families can help with understanding how to say and read words. With the activity she got many of the rhymes right.

Taylor let me plan this whole event. I planned the craft, the visitor, and created the invitations. For the craft, the students would create a paper plate animal. For the first part of the event the teacher would read a book about pets. There were many books that I suggested like, What Pet Should I Get , Dogfish, or The Pets You Get. Then the class and parents would participate in learning a new song. Some songs I suggested are “Bow Wow”, “Old McDonald Had a Farm”, or “The Animals on the Farm”. The next part the students and the parents could create a plate that was a dog, cat, fish, or bunny. The parents would help the child by cutting construction paper to create the different features of the animal. If a student’s parents did not come then the other parents and/or the teacher would help that student do their craft. Then the students would glue the different features on the plate. The students would then have the ability to decorate their animal any which way they want to. Below is a picture to better help explain the

    From my personal experience, when I was in elementary school I remember my teacher would let us sit on yoga ball it always helped me concentrate and it helped me when I was really active because I could not move around, it will make me fall if I move around. I like the idea of standing desks because I prefer standing a lot but when I need to I could sit down on the tool, but I could still move my legs around and be somewhat active. So if one day you're feeling antsy you can just stand. Also I think if your tired it could help you stay awake. Mark Benden also states that sitting desk can cause kids to be obese, he also says that too much sitting is bad for your health.…

    My main goal for this project was to allow students to think like scientists. For this project, my classroom was filled with various animals. Before allowing students to view the animals, I posed the question: “What do you notice about the habitat of each animal?” Then, each student had the opportunity to observe, write about, and investigate each animal. Because my students had already been exposed to disciplinary literacy, they were better prepared for this type of project based learning.…

    I completed my ten-hour class observation at the private school Georgia Military Prep. The Georgia Military Prep School is located on Georgia Military College’s main campus in Milledgeville.

On my first day observing her class, I soon gathered that Ms. Spencer always has a goal in mind when she sets foot in the classroom.…
