Description of Visit: This was my first time visiting Mrs. Dickersons 3 rd grade class. I
had the opportunity to see how Mrs. Dickerson taught and how her class learned on
this day. I mainly just sat in the back of the classroom and observed the students
and how they behaved in class. Overall, I wanted to get a feel for the classroom.
