Wall High School Observation Report

Improved Essays
Although Wall High School is an accepting environment, I feel as if we do not offer activities that cater to all students abilities and talents. For instance, in regards to this past pep week, I observed that a majority of the events pertain to only students who are athletic. Tug of war requires strength, while the three legged race requires coordination, and the potato sack race calls for jumping skills. These competitions only appeal to those who can take on the task of recreation games. What about the students who are not so comfortable in competing in these events?
The majority of my grade sat in the bleachers, unengaged in the happenings of the field games. With the help of National Honor Society, I feel as if we could organize alternative

Each event was worth a certain amount of points. Thus the more activities the student participated in, the more points they could accumulate.…

    During my student teaching semester, I attended a junior varsity football game, and this helped me to understand the overall climate of the school and how I can work engage student interests as best as possible. I benefitted from the attending the game, as I gave me a chance to be seen outside of the classroom by some of my students. The students were all excited that I was at the game, and this provided a chance to talk about things other than classroom business. Connecting with students can be difficult, but it is well worth the time to attend a game or a performance that they are participating in. I believe that the more teachers take time to show students that they are interested in their activities outside of the classroom; it will build trust between students that can greatly improve the learning environment inside of the classroom.…

    20 Years Ago El Paso High School in El Paso, Texas 8:30 a.m. It was an unusually chilly and foggy day for September in Texas. Millie got out of her white Aleko and grabbed her yellow knit sweater that was draped across the passenger seat. She was reaching for her backpack, which was in the back seat of her car, when the first bell rang. Millie raced across the parking lot, up the concrete steps, and pulled the heavy door to the rustic brick building open.…

    Middle Grades are probably the most difficult grades to get through for everyone. During this time of physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and moral development for these students learning about the history of Georgia is literally the last thing they think about, if they even really think about it at all. These students are some of the most difficult students to keep their attention focused on the subject matter at hand, unless of course we are discussing them, then and only then will the teacher get their full attention. During the observation assignment I noticed a few of the developmental theories that correlated with the five developmental stages of middle school students: Bronfenbrenner, Erikson, and Hall.…

    If CCMS received one million dollars this is what I would improve the cafeteria, update the 7th and 8th grade wing, and sports. I would improve the cafeteria that way it could hold more people that way we don't have to have 1st and 2nd lunches. I would also improve the 7th and 8th grade wing because it's not really the best. First, I would improve the cafeteria. We need a bigger place to eat because everyone is all bunched up and it's way to crowded plus I think this might help other people that are claustrophobic.…

    1. The Walls Children are greatly more responsible than average children of an equal age. They are expected to take care of themselves and each other; even a new born baby is thrown into the mix. However the Walls children should not be emancipated from their parents at this age even if they are very responsible. The children still need their parents, “I crawled along the railroad embankment to the road and sat down to wait for Mom and Dad…”…

    My TE-100 class went to Barr Middle School in Grand Island, Nebraska and Northeast Elementary in Kearney, Nebraska. Due to a conflict I was unable to attend the Barr Middle School visit and went to Walnut Middle School in Grand Island, Nebraska instead. At Walnut Middle School, I observed Mrs. Coble, the seventh grad math teacher. At Northeast, I observed Mrs. Tobey, a fourth grade teacher. After observing both schools I came to the conclusion that the two schools are very different from one another.…

    In the Pre-K classroom that I observed it consisted of several different centers for the children to participate in, such as: block area, dramatic play, art, library, sand/water table, music/movement, sensory area, finger painting, play dough, and the students got the opportunity to make their own snacks. Not only did the students get to participate in centers, they had the opportunity each day to go outside and play on the playground as well as having an interactive lecture every morning at circle time and when the students sat down at their tables to do their daily worksheet. I believe that the Pre-K class I observed was a mix between traditional teaching as well as constructivism, creating a balance between the two. In the morning during circle time, the teacher would “lecture” the students with the letter of the day, go over the date, months, days of the week, shapes, and the numbers up to the date it currently was.…

Atmospheres like Iowa State basketball games, or Nebraska football games are some of the things that people look forward to on the weekends, and there is no saying that high school scenarios should be any different.…

    Throughout the course of my five days at the SAHETI primary school, I found myself astonished at various activities that are done throughout the day. Through the course of my practical, I was given a Grade two class to observe and I unquestionably discovered a recently developed love for that age group. I was always adamant from the first time I knew I wanted to become a teacher that I wanted to teach Grade one’s, but my thoughts have definitely evolved. During the course of my observing I was more than willing to help with various activities such as marking, doing spelling tests with the children, as well as helping them with any difficulties they were having with their work. I have gained a lot of experience after helping out with the activities and my knowledge for teaching has grown immensely.…
