The class began with Professor Green standing quietly at her podium eagerly focusing in on us. As everyone noticed, slowly the classroom became quiet. All attention was directed to Professor Green and all her attention was directed back to us. In silence, facial expressions and body language are the methods of communication. This was the first activity in which we became tuned in and focused on the tone and expression of the room. We joined together in an exercise in which everyone walked…
I think that the infants feel really happy. The reason why I say this is because they all seem to have fun like the girl who crawl her way to the basket of different rattles. She liked the sound of the rattle when it hit the bottom of the bucket so she continued to put more of the rattles into the bucket. The boy crawler was having fun by beating his hands down on to the fruit box, possibly making music in his own eyes. Then the boy decided to try and put a block, that was nearby, and put it…
Mrs.Popich is a Spanish I teacher at Infinity Early College High School. Mrs.Popich made her students say “present” in Spanish in order for her to take attendance. The teacher questioned students that arrived late to her classroom that did not have a pass. Before Mrs.Popich stared class, she made her students read the objectives and agenda from the whiteboard that were in Spanish. The lesson for that day consisted of learning about the culture of Brazil. Mrs.Popich mentioned a man named Milton…
McLean’s English classroom, I was immediately greeted by shouts of joy and hoots from the students in the class, and it took about 5 minutes to get the students’ undivided attention. The desks of the students were set up independently and positioned to face the board of the classroom which showed a body paragraph that the class was writing as a whole. The learning taking place in the classroom was very interactive and very much guided by Ms. McLean’s analysis…
III. Case Study: Fisher Elementary with Mrs. Torrent’s 1st Grade Class For about 6 weeks this spring semester, I had been visiting Fisher Elementary that is part of Northside ISD. It is located on 3430 Barrel Pass by 1604 and Highway 90. This area in particular is very well known to be heavy populated by a lot of military families for the reason that the area is very close to Lackland Air Force Base. Many of those active in the military come from different parts of the country in which brings…
of Ms. de la Fuente’s 5th grade class this week started after lunch during their math time. On Wednesday, their schedule had been different from normal and there was two other teachers in the classroom teaching them about different types of rocks. On Thursday, a sixth grade math teacher came to the classroom to further explain what they had been learning about conversions, and to tell them about what they would learn next year when they went to sixth grade.. During arrival in the morning and…
Desk Assist Inc. Problem: Everyday students attend educational intuitions to advance their knowledge, and they all/most face a similar problem that nearly every student will agree with—not enough desk space. Most of the time, students are forced to choose between either taking notes on a computer which takes up the entire desk, or taking notes by hand in a binder which takes up the entire desk. Notes by computer aren’t necessarily always the most efficient way to take notes, and the same…
The student, Hayden Stoner, comes into class without any of his materials for class. The teacher, Mrs. Schumacher, asks him if he could go get a pencil. Hayden told her yes but also added that he would be tardy. The bell rings and Hayden dashes out of the room to go back to his lock for at least a pencil. The class has already begun reading aloud when Hayden comes back in quietly with paper and pencil in hand. Another student makes a comment about how many times Hayden has worn the shirt he is…
Technology (A.M.S.A.T.) at Clark High School, so the classroom expectations are high. Not only does this class have the difficulty level of a college course, it also prepares the students to take the AP Calculus AB Test which can arguably be more challenging than anything the college professor can come up with themselves. There is no time for disorganization and disarray in this class, and the classroom environment reflects this. Despite the classroom filled with approximately 40 students, the…
I anxiously looked out the window at the familiar sites: cows grazing, tractors roaring, and palmetto bushes gently swaying in the summer breeze. Then, the classroom door squeaked. A statuesque woman walked in, Mrs. Able, our new teacher. She smiled and immediately announced: “You can do anything in life, as long as you want to learn and care about others!” Mrs. Able, while not the last teacher to inspire me, was the first. She embodies a true educator: one who cares deeply about every student.…
