Sustaining one to one connections with objects while counting is difficult for this student to do with help. While counting blocks with a teacher aide student E would count the blocks without touching them and skip numbers as she counted. The teacher aide would model the behavior, touch a block, said 1, touch another, said 2, and then ask student E to do the task. Throughout the day student E disrupts the educator to ask questions which are irrelevant to the lesson. During a math lesson she blurted out that she got a sticker on her shirt from the …show more content…

The educator has fifteen minutes for students to take turns and tell the class about anything they deem fit to share. Every student does not get a chance to talk every day, but they all receive time to speak each week. This allows the students to get their stories out before they have the chance to disrupt a lesson or activity. An example is when student B tells about what he had for dinner and student F blurts out what she had, the educator asks do you think that was respectful? She allows Student F to respond that she apologizes to student B. Student B than finishes his

  • Creating A Positive Classroom Learning Environment

    Creating a positive classroom learning environment entails helping students understand that they are valued. Teachers can communicate value by being caring and accepting. One way for teachers to communicate their caring is by making eye contact and smiling at students while teaching. Throughout this learning segment you will notice that I scan my group of students and make eye contact with them. I also smile and laugh with my students so that they know that I am enjoying teaching them. At minute 2:21, a student makes a prediction about a story, when she makes her prediction I am excited and smiling and acknowledge that I appreciated her sharing. Another way that I show mutual respect for my students is allowing them to have time to think and share without being interrupted by peers. When I call on the student, I used her name and when other students try to speak over her, I reiterate that only students who have her name are speaking. This allows the student who is speaking to understand that I have mutual respect for her thoughts and that our classmates will also respect her th...

    This was interfereing with her academic instruction in class. Being in practicum, I realized there were many students that felt this way. Students needs a lot of encouragement. If we showed them that we noticed they will work harder to achieve success. Whenever, I get the chance I would encourage and praise students when they are doing something correct or great. For example, Student A was having trouble with the colours of the rainbow. Student A wanted to give up. I noticed student B had already finished, so I asked this student to help Student A. With the help, Student A finished her rainbow colours. I gave a lot of praise and told this student that they did a beautiful job. I also praise Student B for helping Student A. Both student was very proud of themselves. Student A worked harder because she knew they could do it and Student B continue helping other students because it made him feel good. Being in a happy environment made students want to learn and grow. Another example is building relationship among students, which can also help with academic instruction in the classroom. During week 4, Student C would work on tasks himself and didn’t engage with other students. I remember initiating a connection between Student C and another student. Afterwards, they started talking and helping each other out. Student C was no longer sitting alone. From then on, I realized every student needed a friend.

    In the third grade classroom that I observed, I had the chance to witness the children learn about landforms. The teacher began class by describing the game that they were going to play that would help them understand the vocabulary terms for the landform unit. The students were first given a landform "dictionary" that had all of the terms and definitions, and with that the students had to be able to come up with clues in their own words to later have their partner guess. While the students working on this, the teacher went around to a few other students that seemed to be having trouble and further helped them individually with the activity. With this concept, the teacher was using more then the academic domain and was illustrating social-emotional

    When this lesson was in play, the teacher would sit on a desk and call out certain students to create a group of about eight people with her. Then she would go over the objective in more detail by restating the objective and going over the key words again. Then she would go over the worksheet with the students. At this moment is when I realized how much patience is required to be a teacher. I got to observe how a student processes new information. Questions that were asked where common math question such as “What is the difference between 25 and 10?” From here the students were giving about five minutes or less depending how quick the group answered. Then the teacher walked around and checked the students answer. Without calling out anyone she then copied a mistake a student made. Then she asked the whole group to explain why this answer was incorrect? Step by the step the teacher would go over the problem and purposely mess up once in a while to see if someone caught her. The reason for doing so was because the students love to prove the teacher wrong. She would follow the same process for about two more question and then ordered the student to finish the rest of the worksheet and turn it in at the classroom’s designated
