We started off giving them an explanation of the writing process. Then, we broke off into three groups to help them write about a topic.

He was browsing around the classroom instead of sitting on the carpet; he wasn’t following any directions and didn’t want to talk to anyone.

centers in groups of 3-4. This class was a little noisy and unorganized as compared to other kindergarten classrooms I have observed so far at Krahn elementary. The students seemed to be enjoying their time in centers and were eager to pack-up after cleaning up in the end since it was close to dismissal. 2.

was observing eighteen to nineteen first grade students at Jefferson Elementary. Most of the observations take place in the classroom. I observe at different times of the day, so that I can experience different areas of study.
