The Classroom. The classroom was simple and clean, with decorations and posters about history and the world map. The teacher was in front of the students teaching using the projector and Chromebooks. The environment was calm and collective for the students to be able to learn. The students knew where to sit and knew where everything was if they needed anything it was easily accessible. This classroom was set up with students in mind and to help with the teachers lessons. The Teaching. Mrs. Holland is an amazing teacher who has been teaching for years now. She has many ideas and knows her students well. She would help them when they had questions and listen to the students when they had something to say about the topic. She had a system that the students knew about and started working on them as soon as they came into the classroom. I was blessed to be able to watch and observe an amazing teacher. She is talented and knows her stuff when it comes to teaching and students. A Day In The Classroom. The students knew to wait at the door until Ms. Holland told them to enter. The students would come in and sit at their desk. A student would help pass out papers, and Ms. Holland would start with the lesson. She would teach and afterwards the students would get into groups and finish up the classwork. The students would work till the bell and clean up after themselves. She teaches 6th and 7th grade so their energy is different but she handled them perfectly. She also teaches the dance team. And for the students they would get into formation and work on their dances and help improve others. Ending My Experience. Coming to end I gained an amazing amount of information and a feel for middle school. This time was well spent and something that I will never forget. I am thankful for an amazing teacher to observe and excited for the future.
