    When child B begins playing with the sand and using the scoop to pour sand over the wheel, she is using her imagination and using equipment and exploring materials which showed good creative and physical development. She calls out “weee weee look it going fast, faster, stop stop” showing her ability to be descriptive and use language for communication. She bends down to check how the sand falls showing physical ability and when she starts to fill a bowl with a scoop she counts as she scoops sand into the bowl using mathematics and showing awareness of measures. When another child attempts to play with B, her disposition becomes hostile until a teacher steps in to encourage the children to read together assisting B to develop relationships with her peers and encouraging self-control when a situation arises that makes B angry.

    Information processing has two areas: innate ability and acquired knowledge (Bee & Boyd, 2010). A lower IQ can compensate for acquired knowledge. People with higher IQ’s will perform better than a person with a lower IQ. This also applies to student learning. Children with a lower IQ need effective strategies for processing information. These students have to acquire a vast amount of information on any subject before they can perform as well as their peers with higher IQs.…

My area of interest is elementary, I chose to observe a Kindergarten and Second grade classroom.

    During my first round of practicum, I went to a kindergarten classroom with around 20 to 25 students in the classroom. I went to Miller Elementary and Mrs. Schuchard was my cooperative teacher. I walked in and was immediately placed with students to work with. In the morning the students were working on their daily five and phonics. One thing that I observed that I found very interesting is that the teacher had two rug areas for meetings. When she needed to teach the children for a longer period of time, she would tell them to move over to the other area in order to make them have a brain break and then refocus. It was very interesting to see how effective just a little amount of movement was for these kindergarteners.…

The objective for the lesson was to have students understand the strengths and weakness of the colonial and British armies during the Revolutionary War. This lesson was also to help students practice their comparing and contrasting skills. During the lesson students read an excerpt from an alternative textbook. They then used what they learned to fill out a graphic organizer to compare and contrast the two armies. Once they have completed the graphic organizer, I had class create the chart on the whiteboard to check their understanding.

    Teacher Reflection

    First and foremost, schools should be learning communities where teacher improvement comes from a plethora of sources. Generally speaking, teachers often focus on the content, materials needed, and the activities necessary for the lesson. As I walked in Ms. Franklin’s classroom I was greeted by the classroom Ambassador. Observing Ms. Franklin’s class she had everything mapped out on her board. Her board consisted of the agenda, a time frame of the agenda that needed to be completed in that particular class period, notes, classwork, homework, and an objective. She continually circulated the room as she was teaching. When students were seemingly off task, she used proximity to keep students on task. The students who understood the assignment were to make sure others in their group understood what they were doing as well. Ms. Franklin addressed a group and individual students who were off task. When students were taking notes, she circulated the room to make sure they were taking notes accurately. For the group activity, she assigned roles for the students. She also had material managers’ report to her to get supplies. She met with the time keepers to instruct them as to when the groups should be finished with their assignment. Ms. Franklin could have considered making the assignment more rigorous for the students. It was a great idea to have students work together on completing the function rule and displaying on a piece of chart paper. Perhaps providing a question that will push their thinking slightly further would lend to conversations that you will want to have in a group. She could also consider that once students get into their groups, allow a least a minute for them to decide on their groups roles and write names on their sheets. Overall Ms. Franklin has meet any standard that I expected of her. It was a pleasure of sitting and observing her classroom skills and teaching skills. I would definitely use her as a guidance of teaching…
