Reflection:
During my time observing my second grade class, I have taken notes to better understand
what I can do for my future classroom. I try to write notes every day while I am there to observe
and to reflect upon what I learned during my time there. There are days when I become engaged
with the students, and I may not have time to write notes. I do go back and fill in any extra notes
describing my engagement with the students. By writing observation notes, I can build up my
knowledge as well as using that information to look back to whenever I need to think about what
I am going to do for my students and classroom.
