When Miss Ferenzci is in the classroom the students noticed that she was drawing a tree on the chalkboard. She tells the class they needed a tree in there. She then goes on to introduce herself to the class. Miss Ferenczi shares with the class that her grandfather was a Hungarian Prince and other things about her family. Then to continue not doing the norm of a teacher she does not allow the kids to say the “Pledge of Allegiance,” because she did not feel like it was needed. Starting the morning like this, the students expected an interesting day of lessons. She gave them a lesson with vocabulary and reading. The way she taught the lesson she seemed not to care. Marie Lassmann talks about what a substitute teacher is expected to do. Miss Ferenczi was correct in…

I recently left a position at a small Early Childhood Education center in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The school consisted of children ranging in age of 6 weeks to 6 years. I worked there for eleven years in a variety of age groups. Most of my experience was in Preschool, with children who were three and four years old. The school was located in Point Park University located in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, in one of the University’s dorm buildings and took up two floors. Each classroom was between three and four dorm rooms combined in size. The rooms were long and narrow with partial walls knocked down and converted into doorways between the rooms. Because of the classrooms being converted from individual dorm rooms to single classrooms, there were many blind spots in the room. There for, each classroom had at least two teachers spread out among the room to be able to see every child and what they were doing at all times. It was very rare that there were only two teachers per class. Many times, the classroom had two teachers, and students from the university enrolled in a work study program helping to work with fifteen to twenty students.…
Alice Faye Wattleton, commonly known as Faye Wattleton, is an impeccable figure that has made marvelous strides for herself and for women around the county. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri on July 8, 1943 to a family who never could have imagined the accomplishments she would make in life. Wattleton came from a Christian background, for her mother was a minister of the Church of God. This specific feature of her upbringing would become particular interesting later in life as she tackled controversial topics centered around the Christian faith and women's reproductive rights.…
I have conducted my field of experience at Westside Elementary School, second and third grade classroom. The third grade class consists of 20 students. The teacher does not have any aide even though she needs some assistance, because two of her students are falling behind. The sad part about this is that the students have not being diagnosed yet, but they are having a lot of difficulties. The teacher mentioned that by fourth or fifth grade those two students will need to be placed in a special education classroom. The students both have a concentration problem and it causes them to struggle with reading, writing, math, listening, and speaking. The teacher asked me to focus on and help these two students, while observing the rest of the class. On my second day, I went to Mrs. Bellamy’s Classroom; a second grade teacher. In this paper I am detonating the two different teaching styles that I observed, and the way the student are responding.…
During a science lesson in class 2, I was observing a little group of 6 pupils. The learning activity was the pupils planting some seeds in plant pots and then drawing a plant and labelling it. During the lesson a had to communicate with the other teaching assistant to explain which seeds were in which pots and when I needed the water for the plants. She needed to know this because she was labelling the plant pots with the name of what seed was inside. We did this because plants need different types of care so she also wrote what care the plant needed on each label. Both me and the teaching assistant were then going to plant these plants with the pupils outside.…
Everyone has their own perspective of what best way and how to learning children. The perspective of the student Jeff Bliss was tired and angry about the teacher going off on her student so he became the voice of his classmates. His stand up and speak out about the teacher Julie Phung lack of teaching her student by hand out packet and not give face to face communication about the work. The perspective of teacher Julie Phung was to tell Jeff Bliss to left her class because his was disruptive but she did not care. She mumbling, you are wasting my time!…
During another writing lesson I was with a different set of children which had to do a writing assessment so I couldn’t help them. They had to write their own version of little red riding hood. The only thing which we could remind them off is to use their story maps/plans to help them write the story. At the end of the lesson while the children were out on lunch I had to feedback from an observation which I done of the group of children to see who found it easy to get straight into the activity using their story plans and who didn’t. (p5.1 p5.3) I provided feedback to the teacher by verbally telling her and by filling in a sheet of the children I worked with to say how well I thought they did, if they needed a lot of help, if they focused easily or not, if they used their plans to write their story. (p5.3)…

As the school cleared out in an incredible 7 minutes, teachers and few students were left in the school gathering their things. We stopped in a Language Arts teacher’s class. The teacher, Mrs. Kelly Pederson, who looked as if she was going to rip all of her hair out and possibly already got a head start, gladly spoke to us not only about her IB students but about her 9th grade students as well.…
In Mrs. Levan’s class, I walked around and assisted the students with their writing. The first graders went on a field trip on Tuesday and were told to write about what they had learned. I helped a couple of students sound out of words to complete their sentences. I encouraged them to look up at the word wall for any sight words they may be struggling with. Looking at the word wall helped a few of the students out. While I was walking around, I was able to see how the students spell the words just by sound. They did their best trying to spell it correctly by stretching the…

At the beginning of this Mrs Sanderson said to us at the beginning of the lesson that for the rest of the week she would not teach us properly and all we would do is sit and do worksheets this did not affect as that is what she mostly gives us to do anyway. What she also said was that she would not teach…
