Child Observation Report

381 Words1 Page

The site I chose was the Boys and Girls Club located in Brockton Massachusetts. Immediately the site felt comfortable for me because, I have prior experience working with children. I knew nothing about what services were offered or what the main purpose of the club was. The Boys and Girls club is an afterschool program that not only offers a place for children and teens to be occupied with activities and receive help with homework. The Boys and Girls club is a place that wants to keep the younger generation out of trouble but also help them to achieve their goals and be the best they can be. This club along with many others is located in an inner city where you might find more crime. Many of the children I met had parents who worked and this

was a place these kids could come to do homework and hangout with friends in a safe environment. The club also fed the children dinner, which was something I never knew or expected. The club provides food so that the children’s parents don’t have to worry about not being home in time from work. The club sets up time for the children to do their homework and if they don’t finish they have the option to receive help and do the homework at a later time, which is something I wish I had when I was younger. This club also offers the children to have choices in what activities they want to do. These kids are given the option to choose what they want to do and express themselves. From the first day of walking into this site I immediately felt different from the clients. I felt like my race was the key difference from everyone else there including the staff. There were also kids who were of the same ethnicity as me but only a couple. I didn’t realize the socioeconomic difference between the children and myself till I started getting to know them and talking with them more. Kids always mention things without really intentionally coming out and saying what they are feeling or thinking. Some kids would make comments about not having money for food or skipping a meal in the morning because they didn’t have food in the house.

The relationship between young people and nonprofits can be the start of a significant change in our community, and should be a reciprocal and powerful educational experience.

Child Observation Report

Observation is important as the practitioner can find out what the child is interested in and what motivates them to learn alongside their progress and how they behave in certain situations, additionally at the same time it identifies if children need assistance within certain areas of learning or socially (DCSF, 2008). Furthermore the observations check that the child is safe, contented, healthy and developing normally within the classroom or early years setting, over time the observations can be given to parents as they show a record of progress which helps to settle the parent and feel more comfortable about their child’s education. Observations are not only constructive within learning about an individual child, they can be used to see how different groups of children behave in the same situation and how adults communicate and deal with children’s behaviour (Meggitt and Walker, 2004). Overall observations should always look at the positives of what children can complete within education and not look at the negatives and all observations should become a fundamental part of all practitioners work alongside reflection (Smidt, 2009).

The school that I visited was new. It was the first year of the school opening. The school board had combined two schools into one, so the students had to adjust to their new environments and new individuals. They seemed to be getting along well with each other. Since the school is new the teacher has to adjust to new problems that araise. Times for the subjects and times for using the computer labs change. So the teacher must always be fixable for anything. In this observation of this classroom I learned about the enjoyment of teaching. How you have to adapt to each of the students.

Classroom Observation Report

The students that I observed in the classroom were of middle to high school. I went to see 8th, freshman, 10th , and seniors classes, they seemed excited and very curious to why I was there. The middle school was more alive and rambunctious while I observed them. The High school kids were more relaxed, more comical. Some were paying attention while others seemed tuned out to the lecture or involved in socialization with friends within the class. By the end of the class Mr. Hasgil had restored the attention of everyone by using tactics such as history jeopardy with candy as the prize with the high school kids. In both he middle school and high school the kids were mostly Caucasian with a mixture of black, Asian , and Hispanic in the classes.
