I have gotten the chance to do a five week observation with Mrs. Mead's Science class.
highlight 1 - On the first day that I observed Mrs.Mead's classroom, the students were learning about Punnett Squares. Most of the students seemed to be engaged but there were a few students who were disengaged. Towards the end of their block Mrs. Mead had her students turn in their vocabulary. After the bell me and Mrs. Mead went to the teacher work room and she had me grade papers for her, most of the students did really well.
highlight 2 - The second day that I observed Mrs. Meads classroom she had a sub. The students were told to finish their test and turn in all of their work. After the bell rang the students went outside because of the schedule change due to the slam poetry competition at 1:00pm.
takeaway - I had a really fun time observing Mrs. Meads classroom the past two times. All of the students seemed to respect her a lot. Her teaching style was very simple and she was really kind. In the future I plan of using the visualizer to help the students understand how to do their assignment.
conclusion - Overall The students are really fun to be around and they seem to get their work done without any problems. Mrs. Mead is very polite and helpful and allows students to be themselves.
