Fieldwork observation
For my field observation, I did the observation at Ruthe deskin elementary school and

first I want to say is that the elementary was so beautiful inside and out. It was so creative and

colorful with all the murals on the walls outside. It also it was so amazing that all the halls inside

had Students artwork and completed assignment hang up everywhere, to show what they have

accomplished in the classrooms. Although, I never heard the mission of school from anyone, and

I did look at their website to see if they had it there, they didn’t have it on there, either. I was

able to use the school motto, the elementary school uses the motto everywhere, though the motto

an acronym S.O.A.R, each letter stands for something that make as a good student. They have

put the acronym everywhere like the classrooms and cafeteria.

For classroom observation, the teacher I observe was Ms. Stevens and her classroom. Ms.

Stevens teaches a special education self-contained classroom for 3rd to 5th grade and the tone of

her classroom was always happy and energetic, when I went in. While in observing, I saw that

Ms. Stevens's instructions were brief like 5 minutes because they mostly worked on chrome

books on certain websites and they did have the same routine every week, so the students knew

what to do and they knew how to use the websites. She only needed to instruct them on how

much is expected to be complete on each website and what voice level they should at, while

doing work. While observing, I didn’t see any students struggling, because everyone was at their

own reading or math level on the programs using on the Chromebooks, and when Ms. Stevens

put them into small group to read or something. Also, if they need an intervention like blocks or
100 charts for their online math program or something like that, they all knew where they are and

were free to get one if they need one. My most favorite things that observe was all the incentives

that Ms. Stevens gave out; she did believe in incentives more than consequences. There was a lot

of incentives, that I saw that seems to be very effective on behavior and stuff. The one incentive

that I was really like was the meatballs and spaghetti, its where throughout the day the teacher

will draw a meatball on their picture of spaghetti taped on their desks for anything they good like

behavior or listening. I think I might idea that when I am a teacher future, but probably not

meatball though.
