covered at 1 hour interval. He stated the class every morning with him reading
lesson. Mr. Sajjad walked over to his chair, sat down and called the children over
and told them to all sits as “Indian style”. After every child was seated with their
hands in their lap, Mr. Sajjad began explaining what story he would reading to the
class the morning. As he read, he used group altering by periodically asking the
students questions pertaining to the characters or the words in the story. Such as
“which word rhyme in this sentence?” or “What is the feeling word?” This made
the engaged time with the students last longer since they knew they would be
asked to answer. After reading the lesson, he would then tell the kids to disperse
into their groups and tell them what corners to go to. Mr. Sajjad later explained
that the kids were grouped based on their scores from a test given at the
beginning of the year. This way, he knew he would have to work longer with a
certain group or not as longer with another based on how much they previously
knew. The kids then either went to the computer corner, the teacher’s aide. At
each corner the children worked on word identification, reading, phonics and
spelling. The children who needed the help more worked with Mr. Sajjad while
the others worked at various corners’ made the video of all the proceedings in

Name of Class Teacher: Mr. Sajjad

Below is a report wrote while observing a classroom at GMPS, Liddher Muslim.

Abstract

The following report will examine all the elements of classroom that I will observe
in Mr. Sajjad Class. I will discuss the classroom environment, the school, the
student’s participation, and the teacher’s overall effectiveness. I will then talk
about how much the experience had an impact on my aspiration to teach.

Observation Report 1
Part I: Observation

For my teacher observation, I chose to go and observe in classroom at GMPS

Liddher Muslim Gujranwala. The school as whole is rather large and has around
200 students and over 10 teachers thus creating a stable student-to-teacher ratio.
All of my observations hours were spent observing Mr. Sajjad’s classroom. After
walking into the classroom, you immediately feel welcome. On the floor is a
doormat full of color. The rug says welcome and makes you feel just that. On the
wall there are a number of pictures encourage learning. There are pictures of
color, shapes, letters, vegetables, animals’ objects and numbers. There are
pictures of animals at desks and animals reading and writing. This is supposed to
provide fun twist on learning for students. I also noticed there was a schedule on
board showing allocated time for each subject and calendar with current and
previous date flipped over. Also on the board is a “Discipline tracker” as He calls
it. It consisted of 3 Plates: one red, one yellow, and one green. This will be
explained later. The classroom was also divided into 3 spaces: The teacher’s desk,
the student’s desk and the reading corner. Overall, the classroom environment
was very homey. He stated the class every morning with him reading lesson. Mr.
Sajjad walked over to his chair, sat down and called the children over and told
them to all sits as “Indian style”. After every child was seated with their hands in
their lap, Mr. Sajjad began explaining what story he would reading to the class in
the morning. As he read, he used group altering by periodically asking the
students questions pertaining to the characters or the words in the story. Such as
which word rhyme in this sentence? Or what is the feeling word. This made the
engaged time with the students last longer since they knew they would be asked
to answer. After reading the lesson, he would then tell the kids to disperse into
their groups and tell them what corners to go to. Mr. Sajjad later explained that
the kids were grouped based on their scores from a test given at the beginning of
the year. This way, he knew he would have to work longer with a certain group or
not as longer with another based on how much they previously knew. The kids
then either went to the computer corner, the teacher’s aide, or to work with Mr.
Sajjad. At each corner the children worked on word identification, reading,
phonics and spelling. The children who needed the help more worked While Mr.
Sajjad was teaching the individuals groups, I noticed how often he would have to
talk time away from his teaching to discipline the other kids. It seemed almost
ridiculous how often he would have to stop to make sure nobody was talking,
being disruptive, or not doing their work. I felt upset for those kids who wanted to
learn but could not because Mr. Sajjad was playing policeman. This showed me
how much time really goes into non-instructional activities. If any of the
disruption ever got out of control beyond a warning, then he would use the
discipline tracker. He would move a cloth spin with the student name from green
to yellow. This meant that student did not get a sticker at the end of the day
although it seems petty to an adult that sticker meant the world to child and the
student’s behavior automatically improved. I had to pray my mentor on this eye
thought it was annotative way of teaching the students good behavior through a
reward system. The school environment was very clean and well maintained. The
bathrooms were also spotless. The staff and students alike seem to really enjoy
the school and the environment around them. There is no better place to learn
than some where you are comfortable.
Part II: Reflection

I believe that overall, this was a great experience. I honestly could not have been
happier with how well my observations of Mr. Sajjad classroom went. I would
strongly recommend his to interested student looking for somewhere to learn the
ways of teaching. Not only he was strong academically, but also you could tell he
had an interest passion for making sure each and every one of his students
learned at least something in class every day. Not only was he strong, but patient
as well. Having fifteen kids running around a room cannot be easy for anyone. Yet
He handled it with grace and poise. I picked up so many teaching methods while
observing Mr. Sajjad. I loved how he had little note cards with each student’s
name and would flip from card to card after each question, giving every student a
chance to participate and ensuring participation. He also had a different student
every morning to lead the morning exercise. He later explained that this was to
wake the students up and get their blood going in participation of learning. I
thought this was a unique and cleaver way to keep the students active and ready
for enthusiasm to teach. I loved the environment of school. As I walked down,
whether coming or leaving, a number of staff always smiled or said good morning,
and meant it. The students had smiles on their faces and it was clear that they
coming to school every morning. The experience has truly opened my eyes and
made me realize that teaching really is what I would like to do for the rest of my
life. To see children, finally have something click in their heads or smile, when you
tell them they answered the question correctly makes all the hard times worth it.
Although I’m sure, it will be a lot of work, I have no doubt in my mind that
molding young minds is the right path for me.

All of my observations hours were spent observing Mr. Sajjad classroom. After
walking into the classroom, you immediately feel welcome. On the floor is a
doormat full of color. The rug says welcome and makes you feel just that. On the
wall there are a number of pictures encourage learning. There are pictures of
color, shapes, letters, vegetables, animals’ objects and numbers. There are
pictures of animals at desks and animals reading and writing. This is supposed to
provide fun twist on learning for students. I also noticed there was a schedule on
board showing allocated time for each subject and calendar with current and
previous date flipped over. Also on the board is a “Discipline tracker” as he calls it.
It consisted of 3 Plates: one red, one yellow, and one green. This will be explained
later. The classroom was also divided into 3 spaces: the teacher’s desk, the
student’s desk and the reading corner. Overall, the classroom environment was
very homey. He stated the class every morning with him reading lesson. Mr.
Sajjad walked over to his chair, sat down and called the children over and told
them to all sits as “Indian style”. After every child was seated with their hands in
their lap, Mr. Sajjad began explaining what would he is going to taught the class.
As he read, he used group altering by periodically asking the students questions
pertaining to the characters or the words in the story. He then draws the picture
of clocks to tell the students. This made the engaged time with the students last
longer since they knew they would be asked to answer. After reading the lesson,
he would then tell the students to disperse into their groups and tell them to
draw a clock without writing the time then he randomly give these chits to the
students and ask the students to write the time. The school environment was very
clean and well maintained. The bathrooms were also spotless. The staff and
students alike seem to really enjoy the school and the environment around them.
There is no better place to learn than some where you are comfortable.

Part II: Reflection

I believe that overall, this was a great experience. I honestly could not have been
happier with how well my observations of Mr. Sajjad’s classroom went. I would
strongly recommend his to interested student looking for somewhere to learn the
ways of teaching. Not only he was strong academically, but also you could tell he
had an interest passion for making sure each and every one of his students
learned at least something in class every day. Not only was he strong, but patient
as well. Having fifteen kids running around a room cannot be easy for anyone. Yet
he handled it with grace and poise. I picked up so many teaching methods while
observing Mr. Sajjad. I loved how he had little note cards with each student’s
name and would flip from card to card after each question, giving every student a
chance to participate and ensuring participation. He also had a different student
every morning to lead the morning exercise. He later explained that this was to
wake the students up and get their blood going in participation f learning. I
thought this was a unique and cleaver way to keep the students active and ready
for enthusiasm to teach. I loved the environment of school. As I walked down,
whether coming or leaving, a number of staff always smiled or said good morning,
and meant it. The students had smiles on their faces and it was clear that they
coming to school every morning. The experience has truly opened my eyes and
made me realize that teaching really is what I would like to do for the rest of my
life. To see children, finally have something click in their heads or smile, when you
tell them they answered the question correctly makes all the hard times worth it.
Although I’m sure, it will be a lot of work, I have no doubt in my mind that
molding young minds is the right path for me.
