Date: November 5, 2020

Time: (Four Separate Recordings) - Recorded Posting of Virtual Instruction

Subject/Content: Guided Reading/Grade 1

Observation Completed by: Toni C. Melton-Trainor, GCU Faculty Supervisor

Observation #3 Notes of Virtual Lesson:

Zoom_0 - The observation is of a small group of four children in a virtual breakout room. The recording
is 26 minutes and 37 seconds. Ms. Shumaker greets the students and informs them that they will review
sight words. Using a white board, the teacher writes the word onto the board. The students state the
words aloud, such as: in, big, and will. The students are asked to take out their leveled reader, Just Right!
Using a document camera, the teacher projects the reader on the screen. Students have their personal
book as well as following along on the screen. Ms. Shumaker completes a picture walk and points out
things in the pictures. She asks the students, “What do we see on this page?” K shares that she sees a
crab. The picture walk continues with the teacher calling on students to share their observations. After
the picture walk, the teacher asks, “What do you think this book is going to be about?” C.H. shares that
she thinks the story will be about houses. The teacher has the students turn to page 7 in their books or
watch the screen. The teacher points to the word, “clams,” and asks students what the word is. A
student raises her hand and shares the word correctly. Next, Ms. Shumaker asks the students to find the
word, “batch” on the page. The teacher calls on a student to tell the group what letter the word begins
with. C.H. shares, /b/. The teacher praises the student and directs the students to read to themselves as
the teacher begins with C.H. who reads the reader aloud. Ms. Shumaker coaches the student in reading
the text correctly. She has the student reread the sentence again. The teacher coaches the student in
reading the sentence, “A crab is too small.”

The second student is called to read the text and the remaining students continue to read to
themselves. The second student reads fluently. The third student is called to read from the screen. Her
pacing is slow as she sounds out words while reading the text. Through coaching, the student was able
to determine the word, “small.” The fourth student is called to read the text with the teacher.

After all students read the reader, the teacher asks questions to check reading comprehension.

• T – What animal does the raccoon imagine might move into the shed? (Students are encouraged
to refer back to the text for the answer.)
• S – A hen.
• T – What other animals might you write about?
• S – Clams.
• S- A bird.
• S – Pig.

Next, the teacher presents the independent activity through Nearpod to the students. The teacher
shares her screen and presents digraphs /ch/ and /sh/. The teacher asks the students the sounds the
digraphs make. Following the pictures the students are to determine the correct digraph to place in the
box. For instance, dish ends in the digraph /sh/. The next picture is chain. The teacher writes /ch/ in the
box based on the student’s response. Students are to independently practice the Nearpod activity.

Zoom_1 - The observation is of a small group of four children in a virtual breakout room. The recording
is 16 minutes and 32 seconds. Ms. Shumaker greets the students and informs them that they will review
sight words. Using a white board, the teacher writes the word onto the board. The students state the
words aloud, such as: some, and, and like. The students are asked to take out their leveled reader, What
I’d Like to Be. Using a document camera, the teacher projects the reader on the screen. Students have
their personal book as well as following along on the screen. Ms. Shumaker completes a picture walk
and points out things in the pictures. She asks the students what is happening in the picture. A student
shares that the person is driving a plane. The teacher asks the students what a person is called who flies
a plane and a student shares, “A pilot.” The teacher has the students find the word on the page. The
students point to the word in their readers. Ms. Shumaker continues the picture walk and points out the
various jobs. Periodically the teacher asks the students what they think the person is doing. The teacher
has the students mute themselves as one student reads to the teacher. The teacher listens-in and
coaches where needed. Students read fluently and need some coaching. After reading the text, the
teacher has the students talk about some of the jobs mentioned in the story. The teacher asks, “What
was some of the jobs mentioned in the story?” A student shares, “A magician.” Ms. Shumaker
compliments the student and extends the discussion by asking, “What does a magician do?” A student
shares, “Does magic tricks.” The discussion continues with other jobs, like a builder, musician, and chef.

Next, the teacher presents the independent activity through Nearpod to the students. The teacher
shares her screen and presents blends/cl/ and /cr/. The teacher corrects a student and asks him to stop
writing on the screen. Following the pictures, the students are to determine the correct blends to place
in the box. For instance, clap begins with the blend /cl/. Students are to independently practice the
Nearpod activity.

Zoom_2 - The observation is of a small group of four children in a virtual breakout room. The recording
is 13 minutes and 32 seconds. Ms. Shumaker informs the students that it is time for group and they will
begin with sight words. The teacher presents sight words on a dry erase board, which is under a
document camera. The first word is “in” and one student says the word aloud. Ms. Shumaker repeats
the word and compliments the student. Ms. Shumaker calls on the other students to tell her the word. A
student says, “In.” The teacher calls on C.Y. and he says, “On.” The teacher corrects him by stating the
word, “In.” Ms. Shumaker points to the letter /i/ and says, this is an /i/ and the word is “in.” Ms.
Shumaker presents the next word, “the,” and asks the students, “What is that word?” Each student
states the word correctly. The lesson continues with, “A.” The students correctly state, “A.” Next, Ms.
Shumaker presents the lower case “a” and asks the students if it is still an “a.” All of the students agree
that it is the same. The teacher asks, “What’s the difference?” A student said, “It’s a lower case.” Ms.
Shumaker compliments the student and points out the upper and lower case Aa.

2:06 – Next, Ms. Shumaker informs the students to take-out their book called, In the Sea. The teacher
informs the students that the book was in their packet that they picked up yesterday; however, if they
did not pick-up their packet this was okay. Ms. Shumaker informs the students that they will learn what
lives in the sea. A fifth student joins the virtual lesson. The teacher asks the students to open their books
to page 2. The teacher asks the students to find the word, “lives” and point to it. One student shows the
teacher the word on his screen and another student answers her question, “What letter does ‘lives’
begin with?” Ms. Shumaker points to the word and tells the students that the word is “lives.”

4:06 – Ms. Shumaker informs the students that W. will read first and everyone else will mute
themselves. Everyone will have a turn reading a page. As he reads, the teacher points to the words. He
says, “A whale is” instead of “A whale lives…” Ms. Shumaker corrects him by telling him, “not is.” The
teacher helps him to pronounce the word. She points to the /s/ at the end of the word and reminds the
students to read the /s/. W continues to read and substitutes the word, “sea” with “water.” The teacher
asks him what is the word as she points to the word, “sea.” He says, “Ocean.” The teacher has W read
the words, “the sea.” E tells the teacher he is on pages 6 and 7. He reads, “A lobster lives in the sea.”
C.Y. is called to read page 7. She states, “A turtle…” Ms. Shumaker corrects her and points to the word,
“giant.” She says, “Not turtle. I does not begin with a /t/.” C.Y. says, “It starts with a /g/.”

6:58 – Ms. Shumaker points to the word “giant” in the leveled reader. She questions and guides
students in pronouncing the word correctly. C.Y. reads, “The giant turtle lives in the sea.” The teacher
praises her for her reading. The next student is called to read the sentence, “An octopus lives in the
sea.” Ms. Shumaker coaches the student in reading this sentence. C is selected to read the sentence,
too.

10:18 – Ms. Shumaker names animals. She asks the students to use thumbs-up and thumbs-down to
communicate if the animal lives in the sea or not. She names dolphins and students put up their thumbs.
For cow, the students put their thumbs down. This continues with three additional animals.

11:19 - Ms. Shumaker informs the students that she will share her screen so the students can observe
Nearpod. On the screen is examples of short and long vowels. The teacher informs the students that
they will be learning about short /e/ and long /e/. She states that long e says its name, like in bee. The
short /e/ is like in the word, “ten.” The teacher asks the children if the word “hen” has a short or long
/e/. Students are called to answer whether a word is short or long and the teacher circles the correct
answer. Students are to complete the task independently. The teacher shares a link in the chat box.
Students are placed in their own breakout room.

Zoom_3 - The observation is of a small group of four children in a virtual breakout room. The recording
is 13 minutes and 44 seconds. Ms. Shumaker greets the students and informs them that they will review
sight words. Using a white board, the teacher writes the word onto the board. The students state the
words aloud, such as: the, we, and see. The teacher compliments a student for using see in a sentence.
“G, I love how you used see in a sentence!” The students are asked to take out their leveled reader, We
Went to the Zoo. Using a document camera, the teacher projects the reader on the screen. Students
have their personal book as well as following along on the screen. Ms. Shumaker completes a picture
walk and points out things in the pictures. Next, the teacher has the students read the text together. The
teacher points and read, “We saw the otters.” Ms. Shumaker points out the pattern in the text, “We saw
the…” She reminds the students to follow the pattern while reading. The teacher redirects students to
ensure they are listening while a peer reads the text aloud. Next, the teacher has the students mute
themselves as she has one student read to her. (A student froze and disconnected from the group.) The
teacher moves to the next student and redirects the reader to read the text, “We saw the lions.”

After reading, the teacher asks the children which animal they like the best. Students share their favorite
animals.
Next, the teacher presents the independent activity through Nearpod to the students. The teacher
shares her screen and presents consonants /Y/ and /Z/. Following the pictures, the students are to
determine the correct consonant to circle. For instance, /Z/ for zebra. Students are to independently
practice the Nearpod activity.

Comments and Recommendations from GCU Faculty Supervisor (Discussed during Post Conference):

• Continue to greet and welcome students with a smile and a warm demeanor. This creates a
positive learning climate for the students.
• Continue to call on student names. This makes a virtual learning situation feel more inclusive
and engaging for the students.
• You are fluent in your use of technology, such as: document camera, Zoom, and Nearpod.
• Clearly you placed great effort in your planning of the lessons. Students received materials and
resources for the lesson prior to, which is beneficial to virtual learning.
• Continue to utilize the Jan Richardson lesson plan templates when planning your guided reading
lessons. This is aligned with Charles County Public Schools literacy program. To access additional
information and resources, here is a link to Jan Richardson’s website:

• Continue to call on students randomly and purposefully during your lesson. This encourages
participation and student engagement in the lesson.
• Continue to conduct picture walks prior to reading to build background knowledge that is
needed for reading comprehension.
• Continue to listen-in to the children as they read and coach them to ensure they read the text
correctly.
• Continue pointing out the pattern in the text to assist with reading fluency.
• Consider muting all students and then unmuting the reader to avoid adult conversations during
the lesson. (Parent discussing elections and politics in Zoom_0.)
• Continue to plan for students missing items. Projecting the leveled readers and white board on
the screen for students to follow along ensures the lesson is not inhibited.
• When students are responding incorrectly, you have them rethink and try again. This sets high
expectations and shows that you are teaching students to seek understanding.
• Continue to be quick to respond to classroom disruption. You correct and state the
expectations. Well done!
• Breakout rooms allows for small group differentiated instruction. You provided various levels of
skills in order to meet the learning objective at the students’ levels and needs. Well done!
• Allowing students to work in breakout rooms for their independent activity is a nice way of
building a classroom culture.
