In todays visit to this school I went to watch 2nd grade classes that all pass through the same teachers classroom. I found by following the multiple classes all learning the same class material was a big help to seeing how these children were learning the different class information.
I found that the teacher was very helpful with the students, she would have the kids broken into different groups so they could work with each other. I saw that this worked very well because it allow the kids to ask each other questions to figure out how to learn the material without endlessly going to the teacher for help.
The other thing that I saw was the teacher had some basic understanding of the languages they were learning so they could spot help the students they were working with. I saw that the students reacted well to this and the class flowed along very nicely for her extra effort.
During the afternoon session I watched the kids all taking a full class math test. During the taking of the test I was able to see what kids were struggling and what one were having a easier time of it with the test. was hard to sit back and watch some of these students getting so close to figuring the math questions and not getting the final step to get the questions wrong.
All in all it was a good day to watch the class activities and here are some picture below of some of the things I saw during the day.
