The class I observed was amazing and
the teacher is very good at what he does. The first lesson the students had to
complete was listing five significant things about a famous person of his
choice. He then made the students present to the class and explain their
findings. After that, it was time to play a game with the information the
students found. The kids really enjoyed it we all thought it was a nice game.
Lastly, they played a team building activity and the groups had to all stand on
a certain amount of pieces of paper until they couldn’t anymore. It was fun and
creative.
He had all control
over his classroom. They really, really respect him. They know what is expected
of them and that they need to get the job done in the timely manner and to the
expectations he desires. I respect him a lot for being one of those teachers
that expect the most from their students and don’t just do their job to get the
paycheck. He told me that he tried being one of those teachers that the school
trained him to be but he then realized that being himself is what will get the job
done and done in the way that he wants it to be. Doing his job like that he
realized that his students appreciated and respected him a lot more and they
they responded much better. The environment is really good, its clean and
appropriate. Just in that little time period I learned a lot from being in his
class even though it didn’t show on Friday. I think having these experiences
will help better myself, not only when it comes to teaching, but also when it
comes to controlling myself. A major thing that I've learned is that you can’t
control a classroom until you have SELF-control. Mr. Smith wants me to come up
with a team building activity, and so far I have a lot in mind. So far, I
haven’t found a team building activity that has me jumping out of my seat
excited so tonight, that is my project.
