Classroom Observation

During my 10 hours observation in Mrs. Cynthia Pangelinan's class, I find her classroom very inviting towards learning. As I stepped in her classroom, I already see the exciting teacher I will be working with. As students start their day in the classroom, they already know what was expected from them. Everyday, there are always words written on the board like a "bell work". The purpose of her bell work is for students to become better writters. As students are doing their bell work, Mrs. Cyndi is also checking their homework. Once students are already finished with their bell work, Mrs. Cyndi rings her bell and all the students stands up from their chair waiting to be called to the carpet area. These students are grouped into 5 groups and they always go in order in the carpet. When all group members are all in the carpet, she uses a popsicle stick to check which student will be today's teacher. The child will go over with the class the calendar, the basic shapes and colors, the Monthly poem, Days of the Week, Classroom Pledge, Peace Builder Pledge, Classroom rules, and Alphabet. When students is done teaching, the teacher then reads them a book. Once they are finish with their morning or afternoon routines, they move into their Direct Instructions. Direct Instruction for the Kindergarten is more like teaching them correct sentence and words. They also learn about what other people do in the communities.
