Observation: Early Childhood Education
WRITTEN OBSERVATION REPORT
Assessment of Learning 2

Submitted by:
Rodeza Lopez
BEED – early childhood education- 3rd yr.

I. Introduction This observation is conducted primarily to experience or see a teacher in action conducting her assessment and critic the way or methods the teacher used in assessing her students whether if it is effective or ineffective, its strengths and weaknesses in line with the assessment methods that were tackled in class. This is also to test my ability in conducting assessment to students and provide a feedback on how well I applied the concepts I learned and a reflection on how I can be more effective or improve my assessment strategy. The class that I observed was in Grade II – Lilac under Mrs. Carolyn Menuza in the University of the East Laboratory School. I observed their Science class on September 12 and 13 (I also did my own assessment the day after my observation). The students were mostly 7-8 years old and they were 31 in total. The students in this class were mostly very attentive although there were a few who were not paying attention. They also have a very stimulating environment; the materials inside the classroom were of different colors and the walls are painted with light pink and green colors. The classroom was also big enough for the class size.

II. Observations and Experiences
September 12,2012 The lesson they had was just a review of their unit which is about animals – their habitat, movement, body parts and ways on taking care of them. The teacher assessed the students by using their workbook in Science. The teacher explained the instructions and gave an example. In the worksheet it says there, On the line, write W for water animal, L for land animal, and B for both water and land animal. She used the first question as an example, she said “so, where can we find a frog, water, land or both land and water?” the students answered both land and water and teacher replied “what are you going to put on

    I observed Mrs. Ball’s 7th grade science class at Helen Tyson Middle School on Thursday November 5, 2015. The classroom had a great climate and was decorated with interesting scientific educational material. She had the desks set up in organized rows with two kids per table. This set up allowed for less interaction between the kids because they were so spaced out, which seemed to keep them on task. The dynamics in the classroom were great. She connected well with each student and was interested in what they had to say. She was very in control of the class and the students seemed to respond well to her. The students interacted pleasantly with one another and were were all very welcoming. They came into class, sat down, and got right to work.…

    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.…

    I set up an appointment with the Kids Club daycare at 9:45 am on November 4th to observe for an hour of toddler classroom who were between three and four years old. The principle gave me a warm greeting and took me to the class and introduced me to the teachers and the children. Everyone there made me feel welcomed. I chose a place where I can sit, observe and write my note as well as to be away from children's sight. In the classroom there were five boys, two girls, and two teachers Ms. Nadia and Ms. Emma. The classroom itself was large and spacious. The classroom is very appropriate for children this age and it has many interesting areas such as a blocks and art area, and children taped some of their previous work in the art area.

More specifically, their physical and motor development, cognitive and language processes, social and emotional skills, and the environment they could be surrounded by outside the observation time. The development of these processes can be observed through the actions and interactions a individual does or does not have with other people.…

    I had the opportunity to observe at the Isabel Patterson Child Development Center in Long Beach. It was my first time observing in this center so I had to be there before my observation time, which was at 2:30pm. Once, I entered the building the atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable. The children I observed where around the ages of three to five. During my observation there was twenty-eight children and five teachers present. The building was all wooden on the inside and at the entrance there was a welcome wall colored with a rainbow. There were art projects hanged on the walls as well as learning material.
