The students in each class were grouped to ability and levels of where the students are at. Each group had different interactions in the classroom.

Element: #tudent Interaction 2b: Establishing a Culture for Learning The group that I was assigned to! the students didn t have high e$pectations for learning. The teacher did split these groups in groups at the student s level and wor"ed with them with what they struggled with! but most of the students played around! %ust wrote things down %ust to be done with the assignment. There wasn t much e$citement in these students for them to learn. Element: #tudent Pride in &or" 2c: Managing Classroom Procedures There weren t really any routines that these students were used to. They would come in and be in a commotion of playing around or tal"ing.
