First Grade

I had the opportunity to observe and help a first grade teacher today. The students did not stay at their seats for long. Mrs. Lanier had the students engaged in activities that kept them moving around. She also had the students engaged in centers. I assisted some of the students while Mrs. Lanier did Guided Reading. I enjoyed being in her classroom and it was interesting to see her teaching style.

Observations

Today went by so fast! Although I did not teach I did work with small groups of students. I had the opportunity to observe my clinical teacher as she taught. I had planned to visit another classroom; however, the teacher had a change of plans in her schedule. She called this morning to let me know that her class would not be in the room at the time that I was supposed to visit. I plan to observe other teachers during the week.
