It seems that Mrs. Reid has a very predictable setting when it comes to materials. today was my second day observing but I am just now getting to blog it today (april 15).
she always uses her chrome, projector and the math book for the students. I like this because the student are used to it and it's easy for them to work with every day. my favorite thing about the class is how comfortable they are. they are not afraid to have fun conversations. they have conversations and respect boundaries the teacher has set.
a child in our class felt sick and the parents couldn't pick them up. so Mrs. Reid let the child take a nap. I think this shows how she respects and cares for her students.
My favorite method of teaching she uses is a reward system called DoJo points. this makes the students very competitive and willing to answer things out loud. I feel like it can help the students become more comfortable talking in front of their peers over time.
I love how she does not allow the students to disrespect her. all the students seem to have a mutual understanding that she is in charge of her class and they are to respect her.
I think observing Mrs. Reid has made me realize I do not have the capabilities to become a good teacher at this moment. maybe this opinion will change over time but I do not think I could do what she does on a daily basis. watching a teachers lesson plan pan out is interesting.
I think Mrs. Reid is an amazing teacher and she does a great job at explaining and keeping the children comfortable.
This is all your introduction?
