observation

This week I was in a fourth grade classroom. I was with a math teacher who teaches the same thing for three classes in a row only this day was longer because they were taking a state practice test. At first i thought this wouldn't be a good day to observe but it really was. I got to hear all the questions they were asking and their questions were on just about everything since it was a state test. The biggest thing i noticed was their problems with the vocabulary used. They struggled because they didn't understand everything in the question and we weren't able to help them which results in them getting the question wrong.

This week i got to see tons of kids having fun at chuckie cheese. It was my first time there with Liv and we had a blast. One incident i remember was on the jungle gym there was a little boy probably around three and he was about half way up and was crying. I noticed that only girls stopped to check on him, while the boys just kept running through. It was interesting to see kids who had patience and those who didnt. It was a cool place to observe if anyone needs ideas.
