3.2 Middle school observation

In my second period class "Intro to Education" we got to observe classes from the middle school two different times with two different teachers similar to observing Elementary. My two teachers that I got the opportunity to go watch were Mrs.Young's fifth grade science class and Mrs. Baxter's fifth grade literacy class. It's interesting seeing all the different techniques that the middle school teachers use to teach these young students to help them get ready for upcoming grades.

Middle school one: Mrs. Young fifth grade Science

    When I arrived at the middle school there was some time before her students got back to her classroom from their enrichment, so I just sat with Mrs. Young and some other teachers talking to them during their prep time. The kids arrived back to her classroom and they were all doing biom presentations that caught my eye because of all the facts about each groups biome presentation, some stings I didn't even know myself.  

Middle school two: Mrs baxter's fifth grade literacy

    The day that I got to go observe Mrs. Baxter's class the students were learning about how to use commas correctly, writing essays, and claim-evidence- and reasoning. What caught my attention the most was how Mrs Baxter would walk around helping her students, checking on them, and her using her white projector board for the students to underline reasoning from a paragraph and putting commas where they belong up on the projector board.

Positive take away: My positive take away from this opportunity to be able to observe fifth grade classes was I liked how both teachers treated their students whenever they needed help and how they taught their students.

Conclusion:

    To sum up my experience, overall I had a really fun time getting to see how the teachers teach and handle different situations.
