An_Observation

An Observation I observed a 4-year old program. A. When I got there they were eating lunch and they all seemed to be very active there were 3 boys that were quite riled up and the teacher handled it by splitting them up and just talking in a quiet voice. They then lined up after eating and emptied their trays and milk cartons and walked to their lockers and put their lunch bags in them, by themselves. When we got to the classroom they had a bit of free play time and I observed quite a bit of sharing and cooperating for the most part. And they all cleaned up after themselves. When the teacher sang the clean up song. They then got out their carpets (pieces of carpet that had their names on the back) and put them on the floor and sat on them waiting for the teacher to start circle time. They did the calendar by having the leader come up and point to the numbers on it and they then told him what number came next. Next they said the days of the week and counted the children. After counting the children the teacher held up owls with a child's children, very, teacher, play, classroom, wanted, fire, blocks, after, time, sharing, names, name, learned, week, toys, told, thought, themselves, station, shelves, said, right, quite, put, playing, played, out, others, observed, numbers, next, lunch, lot, just, instance
