Today is my first observation day at the Elementary School. The teacher that I have been assigned is Ms. G and she is a 3rd Grade teacher.
Ms. G - 3rd Grade
Technology:
The students used the smartboard, classic iPods, computers, and an iTouch during their Math Rotations. The classic iPod has flash card videos that Ms. G created to go along with what they are learning in math. The kids played an online math game at the smartboard. The students logged into their IXL.com accounts at the computer station. And the last station was math bingo with me.
Activities:
Friday is assessment day for Ms. G's class.
General Observations:
The classroom is a little chaotic. Ms. G seems to know where everything is located, but the room screams dirty to me. There was also a huge transition time from one activity to another. It is obvious that Ms. G is not very strict with the students which makes the students less likely to do what she tells them to do. While I played math bingo with the students during math rotation, I had to frequently call my groups attention back to the bingo game. They were more worried about what was going on at different stations. The class was also not very structured. Ms. G still had one student doing his social studies test a full hour after everyone else had finished. Ms. G just continued on with her lessons while that student was moved to the back of the classroom. I asked if the student was a resource student (and therefore would warrant the extra time), but she told me that he was not.
