Going into my teaching in Clare I already knew a lot about the students because that same classroom is where I do My Pre-Student Teaching. With that said, I tried to be as objective as possible in these observations since I knew that this science placement has different requirements than my Pre-Student Teaching. Being able to objectively observe today and pulling in my observations from other times being in the class, I feel as though I have a greater understanding about the goings on in the classroom. I have the environment memorized, and I know which students have special needs and which ones need extra help; I also understand the classroom rules and developmental levels of the students.

These are all of the things that I have learned over my time in Ms. Babcock’s class and they are things that help in managing the science
