Early Classroom Observation
I observed Mrs. Bacon’s four-year-old classroom at 2:30 p.m. after they came inside from recess time. Mrs. Bacon calmly in a friendly voice told the four-year-old children to wash their hands and divided the children into two groups; group A and group B. Mrs. Bacon directed group A to go to the block area to play and directed group B to go to the housekeeping area to play. A students named Fernanda Marie stood by the sink and wouldn’t move after Mrs. Bacon repeatedly told her told her to go with her group, group A to the block area, but Fernanda Marie replied to Mrs. Bacon “I’m not moving, I hate this class, I hate you.” Mrs. Bacon calmly walked over to Fernanda Marie got down on her knees looked Fernanda Marie directly in the eyes and told her to go to the writing center until she gives her further notice to leave her area. Four-year-old Fernanda Marie screamed to the top of her lungs screaming for her mommy as she walked over their but she sat down and didn’t leave that area until Mrs. Mrs. Bacon told her to do so.

The best thing to do is when the child calms down, pull the student aside and discuss their behavior with them why it happened and why it occurred. Some of the reasons why Stewart and Fernanda Marie may have acted out in such a way may be to get attention to a child any kind of attention is better than no attention at all, they may feel their parents do not like them or do not talk or spend time with, them therefore, these children act up to gain attention, they might have misbehaved because they were upset before they even came school before they day began. Many children sometimes misbehave because it’s a means to obtain what they want. If misbehavior has worked in the past for them, it may continue, whether it is wanting another child’s toy or the parent/teacher’s full

    Recognize that a child is going into survival mode and respond in a kind compassionate form. When a student is misbehaving, start by asking yourself, “What is happening here?”. If this is a reoccurring event, try to recognize the trigger. Once a trigger has been identified, kindly and compassionately reflect to the child. Offer the child a couple of choices of things that he/she can do, at least one of which should be appealing to him/her. This opportunity will offer the child a chance to gain a sense of control and help him/her feel safe once more. These actions will begin to create a positive relationship between teacher and student.…

    There are a chain of sanctions to be observed. The first point of contact should be the class teacher with general reinforcement that the behaviour is unacceptable. If necessary this should be followed by a warning and a particular sanction such as missing some playtime. The next stage would be to refer the child to another member of staff. On rare occasions when the inappropriate behaviour persists then it may be beneficial to refer to the Headteacher when parents can be called. In extreme cases there are formal exclusion procedures…

    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.

    I observed a classroom of four-year-old students who are enrolled at the Child Development Center on the George Mason University campus. This observation lasted about fifteen minutes with a total of twelve students in the classroom. At the time of my observation the students were engaging in free playtime where they are allowed to play games, make crafts, and interact with their fellow classmates. I was seated in the corner of the classroom where the children could not easily see me or get distracted by me. I stayed seated throughout the whole observation so the students would not be affected by my presence. Many different activities were happening at the same time, but a couple standout situations reminded me of many subject areas we focused on in class. One particular observation was the various styles of play the students were engaging in. About half of the students were engaging in constructive play while the others were engaging in dramatic play. Constructive play is characterized by the act of creating or constructing something while dramatic, or make-believe play, is characterized by acting out everyday and imaginary roles (Berk, 2010, p262). The two play styles are very common in children around the age of four.…

    “In an effective classroom students should not only know what they are doing. They should also know why and how.” Harry Wong is an educational speaker that tries to help teachers be able to not only educate their students, but also teach them how to comprehend and logically think. Even at Tell City Jr.-Sr. High School, there are a variety of different types of teachers; moreover, this affects the atmosphere of their classrooms. Many outsiders may see our school as boring and being the same as any old school. For the students, every single classroom has a different atmosphere that they either love or greatly dislike.…

This morning, some children played in the kitchen area, where four boys dressed up as construction workers or fighter fighters, while pretending to have breakfast. Others played in the block area with dinosaur figures, while others were either doing art on the tables, or were playing with magnetic blocks in the circle time area.
