Summary Of Ms. Mccray's Kindergarten
Ms. McCray’s Kindergarten Classroom at Ingleside Elementary school is set up a little differently than most classrooms because the classroom itself is one big room that holds two kindergarten classrooms within it. Her classroom is set up so that the student-centered area, their tables, and carpet, are in the center of the room, as well as the smart board and pocket chart which is in the front and center of the room. There are three different teacher work areas, this area is set aside for the teacher to work with different groups, is set up in a way that the teacher can see everything that is happening for the most part during individual group work when she looks up. The classroom rules and hand signals posters, as well as good behavior rewards

    Our last observation this semester was with Rachel Pollard at Hartwood Elementary School. This school includes grades K-5. Mrs. Pollard is in a very unique situation, because she sees each of her classes for forty minutes twice a week. Since she has twice as much time with her students as compared to most other music teachers, her students are able to advance quickly with their musical skills. This benefit was very obvious through my observations. Mrs. Pollard’s lessons were well thought-out and she had clear objectives in mind for each activity. Everything she did served a purpose, including singing a song to move the students into a new seating arrangement and her “point checks” at the beginning of class.…

    According to Gracey in the article, “Kindergarten as Academic Boot Camp” , the rules and routines of a classroom are important to children to form a "little society" for them to function in. she speaks about the relevance of the daily structure and routine that kindergarten has on infants. It creates a world for them to function in. Stripping them away from their identity and individuality is what is occurring here. They are being told what to draw in art class; children crave order and this is exactly what classroom order gives them. A child who can follow and obey the rules and routines are viewed as having the potential at being more successful students. While the students who fail to follow the order are looked upon as problem children…

    There were two Caucasian students, seven African-American students, and six Mexican students. Mrs. Brodie was the teacher and Ms. Johnson was the teacher assistant. The classroom was large and there was plenty of space for the children to move about. The classroom structure was very similar to that of the 3-year-old classroom that I observed in my first field observation. There was also a carpet on the floor for circle time and the classroom was divided up into centers as well. The centers were clearly labeled. Some of the centers included reading, art, science, manipulatives, and blocks. As I stated before it was very similar to the 3-year-old classroom set-up. The classroom was filled with print and there were many different aspects of cultural references which included posters in the Spanish language and books that represented the different diversity of all of the students. The classroom was like the 3-year-old classroom amplified. I am thinking that maybe because the school is state funded that it why they do have so many more materials than a regular preschool classroom. The science area even had a telescope in the center. The children knew what it was and what it was used…

    Reflection on Observation

    • 4623 Words
    • 19 Pages

    Observing a classroom has a certain metaphysical edge. Merely by your presence and watching, you cannot help but feel that you are somehow changing or influencing the class and the students that make it up. My observations took place in two settings, the first and my primary observation source, was at Children’s Garden Montessori School in El Cerrito, my daughter’s school, it is a private pre-school with children ages two to five. My second observation was the Fit Kids program at my local Berkeley YMCA, this program was created for children over the age of eight and combines educational video games, air hockey, tutoring, and physical activity, for children preadolescent to those well into their teen years. The goal of this analysis is to define the educational theories used to produce the programs, introduce the two environments of my observation and discuss how the educational theories are applied in these cases. I will use The Montessori example to elaborate on issues of educational philosophy and also early childhood development, including issues that may arise in early education like behavioral concerns and cognitive disability. The Fit Kids program will serve as my muse for a discussion on information processing in adolescents. Both programs will evaluate teacher behavior, development, and describe the social and emotional environment of the classroom and its effect on student learning and behavior.…

    Research has shown that students with special needs will have an increased benefit of comprehension and encouragement when placed in classrooms with separate learning stations. This allows for natural exploration and usually a more hands on learning experience for the student. The concept of workstations (also known as centers or mini-environments) in an early learning classroom is not new. In fact, many successful preschools, kindergartens, and elementary (primary) grades design their classrooms around this idea because there is a consensus that young children learn by exploring and playing. For students to have the freedom to engage in the activities that interest them and learn at their own pace promotes positive attitudes toward education and also elicits better behavior.…

    Picture a classroom full of interactive activities, decorations, and young minds having fun while working with a partner on the whiteboard. Picture a first grade classroom with a teacher who is greeting her students at the door every single morning. This was my classroom many years ago, which is one of the leading reasons that I chose to pursue an elementary and special education major at Ball State University. My first grade teacher was the most memorable teacher of my educational career. Her love, guidance, and success in making each day fun had a huge impact on my career in education. She made our classroom a safe place and her teaching techniques allowed the students to strive for success. My teacher asked me to assist a student who was…

    First we went to classroom on the right side of the general playing yard, which was intended for two and three year old children. There were two classrooms together. The classroom for two years old was called Garden and the classroom for three years old was called Treehouse. First we entered the small backyard were both groups were playing together. In that small backyard there were diverse age children doing various things. The backyard was pretty nice and had a lot of toys and entertainment for the children. There were three teachers for both classes together and they all had different obligations. One of them was responsible for indoor class, the other one for outside, and the third one was responsible for their hygiene. Some of the children were eating snacks and some of them were playing with teacher. In the backyard they had sand box, tree house and variety of toys. I was confused about their behavior and asked some questions to one of the teachers. The information I received helped me to understand the behavior of children and concept of teaching. All children bring their lunch with…
