1.​ ​ ​ ​What​ ​do​ ​you​ ​observe​ ​in​ ​the​ ​classroom​ ​that​ ​either​ ​helps​ ​students​ ​with​ ​the​ ​learning​ ​process,
or​ ​helps​ ​create​ ​an​ ​interesting​ ​learning​ ​environment?

There are signs and posters posted around the room to help
the students with math and vocabulary.

2.​ ​ ​How​ ​does​ ​the​ ​teacher​ ​connect​ ​a​ ​lesson​ ​to​ ​previous​ ​lessons​ ​or​ ​information​ ​in​ ​the​ ​text?
The students morning work is a reflection of what they’ve learned and she
gives them 15 minutes to complete their work and then they go over it as a
class.

3.​ ​ ​How​ ​has​ ​the​ ​teacher​ ​organized​ ​media​ ​print​ ​materials​ ​for​ ​the​ ​instructional​ ​activity?

There is none.

It’s all teacher centered

6.​ ​ ​Do​ ​students​ ​have​ ​ownership​ ​or​ ​involvement​ ​in​ ​their​ ​own​ ​instructional​ ​process?​ ​ ​If​ ​so,​ ​how​ ​is
this​ ​accomplished​ ​and​ ​how​ ​does​ ​it​ ​impact​ ​student​ ​learning?
Yes they have several minutes to complete their school work until they go over it as a class. It
impacts the, because it gives them time to figure things out on their own.

7.​ ​ ​Based​ ​on​ ​your​ ​observation,​ ​how​ ​much​ ​time​ ​during​ ​the​ ​class​ ​period​ ​is​ ​the​ ​learning
student-directed?​ ​ ​Teacher-directed​ ​learning?
Student directing: none.

Teacher directing: full class time

8.​ ​ ​How​ ​does​ ​the​ ​teacher’s​ ​pacing​ ​of​ ​instruction​ ​affect​ ​the​ ​learning​ ​process​ ​for​ ​students?
She goes one lesson at a time. First they work on morning work then they go
over it. After that they read their poems out loud to practice reading. I think it’s
a good pace for them. They do the same things each day in the same order

She walks around the desks
