Elementary Classroom Observation

The shadow teacher I had was Ms. B . The grade level she tachers is 5th grade. My first impression of Ms.B's classroom was that the classroom was inviting and fun to be in. How many Students did Ms.B have? She had 27 students in her class. Yes I introduced myself to the class. How much did I interact with the students? The first day I did not interact with the students as much as I did on day two. The subject being taught in the class on day one was the Reading Centers and on day two was reading from their reading books and then math. How did the teacher get the students involved with what was being taught? Ms. B asked questions and the students raised their hands and then answered the questions. Would I describe the teacher as inviting? Yes I would describe Ms. B as inviting because she loves her job and likes teaching.
         September 8, 2009 DAY ONE I got to read MISSION TO MARS with the students. Then I told them a little about me and gave them my Blog URL. I told the students about the blog and then I had to go get Miss. A.      September 9 , 2009 DAY TWO When I got there the students were reading from there reading books. Then they wrote their 3 main ideas and a summary. The phone rang two times in the classroom and I answered the phone both times saying "Hello Ms. B's room Samantha speaking." Then I had to go get two students from the IEP room so they could get their school picture taken. Then I made a seating chart so I can get to know all the students' names the next time I come in the class.
