4.1

 The 5th grade literacy class I observed had a great atmosphere and learning environment, it had colorful posters and a bunch of student work hung on the walls which I thought was creative and made the environment more inviting. I really enjoyed Mrs. Halls room layout with her reading corner filled with different books for every student. Mrs. Halls students seemed to really love her class and they were very engaged the whole class. 

Mrs. Hall gave instructions sternly to keep the students attention but she was still able to keep a fun environment. She would help each student individually if she thought they were struggling and she would challenge the kids who weren't struggling as much, I think that approach really helps runa classroom very smoothly.

2.1 High School Observations

 I figured out that I would rather assign paper assignments over assignments on a computer or something and I also learned that the kids in Mr. Barbers 2nd period also prefer their assignments on paper. From Coach Denton I did not learn much because the day that I did my observation they had a test day but I really liked how he walked around and observed and helped his students.

2.2 Junior High Observations

While I was watching Mr. Difani's class he taught me some of the tools the teachers use on a daily basis. He taught me how go guardian, google forms, and Google classroom work and look on the teachers end which is super helpful for someone who is wanting to go into teaching. It was also a study day in class so they weren't doing much but Mr. Difani was very alert and helped every student when they needed help. I learned a lot while I was watching Coach Appleget. One thing I saw that helped the class and I would want to enforce if I had a classroom and was a teacher would be talking to the students and relating what I'm teaching to experiences that could actually happen in their life.

 From Mrs. Hall I learned the importance of building strong relationships with students. Mrs. Hall knew each student, creating a safe, supportive environment. Her passion for teaching inspired her students and pushed them to become lifelong learners, this left me even more motivated to become a teacher. Her classroom environment allowed her students to feel comfortable taking risks, sharing their ideas, and supporting each other. Through her words and actions, she encouraged valuing empathy, respect, and responsibility, which not only shapes their literacy skills but their character as well.
