    Observation I
    1. Reflect upon how the classroom is organized for instruction.
    The students were instructed in large groups, small groups, and
    sometimes individually. When the teacher instructed the entire group,
    she would either stand at the whiteboard or walk around the room. She
    used a microphone that projected her voice through a loud speaker in
    the back of the room, which enabled her to gain and maintain student
    attention. When the students heard the speaker come on, they knew it
    was time for a lesson. During instruction, the teacher used textbooks, a
    whiteboard, and also a projection screen. The teacher asked her
    students many different questions throughout each lesson and
    encouraged everyone to participate in answering. The students were
    very willing to volunteer, to answer questions, and to read out loud.
    When a student answered a question correctly, the teacher praised
    them for doing a good job. Most of the assignments given to the
    students were worksheets that the teacher made or ones from their
    workbooks. They also were asked to write in their journals every
    morning about a topic chosen by the teacher. The students did not
    have a choice regarding assignments.
    2. Think about the classroom management plan used by the
    teacher.
    For behavior management in the classroom, the teacher used a
    demerit system that was used school-wide. If a student misbehaved or
    broke a rule, they would be asked to move their clothespin. Each time
    a students clothespin was moved, that student received a demerit.
    The teacher was fair and gave the students warnings before they had
    to move their clothespin. When a student reached a certain amount of
    demerits, there would be consequences. Some of the consequences
    included no recess, no choice on where to sit at lunch, and lunch
    detention. The school arranged special outings at the end of each
    quarter for the students without demerits. Lunchtime was pretty
    chaotic. Each morning when the students arrive to class they are told
    to choose what they want for lunch. They do this by putting a magnet
    on their selection; each child has a magnet with their name on it. This
    is also how the teacher takes attendance each day. When it is time for
    lunch the students are escorted to the lunchroom by their teacher. The
    teacher gives the cafeteria workers a piece of paper telling how many
    students want each lunch choice. The students are then sent to the
    line serving what they chose.
    3. Observe how classroom routines affect the teaching and
    learning environment.
    Daily attendance is taken a couple different way, one being by seeing
    who chose what for lunch. If any student did not move their magnet,

    the teacher knows they are absent. Also, the teacher checks every
    students agenda each morning. The students are required to have a
    parent sign their agenda before they go to school each day. This is
    because the teacher will sometimes leave notes for the parents. As the
    teacher checks agendas, she can tell who is missing from class. The
    way the teacher collects homework is very organized. She has a tall
    tray tower at the front of the class, and each tray is labeled with a
    different subject name. When the students complete an assignment,
    they know to turn it in to the corresponding subject tray. In front of the
    tower there is a cup full of highlighters with a note that says, Please
    highlight your name. When the students see this it reminds them to
    write their name on their paper. This is also where students turn in
    their tests. For tests, the students remain in their seats. All students
    had their own office, which is just a folder they stand up on their
    desk to block others from seeing their answers. Inside the folder there
    are helpful tips and tricks to help them on their tests.
