Reflection Of My Field Experience In My Classroom

My classroom is a colorful, warm, welcoming environment. It is well put together for the preschool children and it includes diversity. The teacher does a wonderful job including all of the components of the classroom managment puzzle. The teacher engages instruction in multiple ways. For instance, he has a jar with full of sticks and on each stick is a student 's name. He uses this specifically for the four daily tasks of the day and for other aspects necessary. The daily tasks are line leader, teacher helper, weather helper, and announcer of the day. By doing this he engages all of the children in the class to participate and they all get a turn to do so.

For instance, the teacher is consistent about testing the students every monday to make sure they are learning, putting them in specific patterns when they line up or are in the lunchroom, and switching around there jobs so everyone gets a turn.

The way it creates discipline is by avoiding making the situation worse. It says to avoid sounding like you are lecturing the students. For example, “ I told you not to do that, you should be ashamed “ would be considered lecturing.

After I understand I want to help them come up with a solution. Words like “ what happened “,
