Field Notes

• How does the teacher identify the objective?
• At the beginning of each lesson Miss W identifies
  the objective by stating it to the class.
• Today we are going to learn how to write a
  cursive letter p
• Take out your math books and turn to page 246.
  Were going to learn about decimals.
• Miss W also has the objectives for each subject
  written on the board.
• Literature Plot, Setting, Stages of a Story
• Math Decimals up to the thousandth place

11
Field Notes

• How do the children know what is expected of
  them?
• The children know exactly what is expected of
  them because there is a big sign at the front of
  class that lists Our Expectations
• Miss W informed me that at the beginning of the
  year the class came up with a list of their
  expectations.
• The kids are really good at living up to the
  expectations because they made them up
  themselves.
• When they misbehave, I just remind them that
  they arent living up to their own expectations
  and that Im not going to punish them, but they
  should learn to say something and stick with it.
  They are a very well behaved group.

Field Notes

• How the teacher gives the rationaledoes the
  teacher make the lesson relevant to kids?
• Miss W does a great job of making every lesson
  relevant to kids.
• Miss W word choice and examples are meaningful
  to the children in her classroom.
• The word for a number that is one place behind
  the decimal is a tenth. Say it tenth not ten.
  This is the only time that you are allowed to
  stick your tongues out at me.
• The kids all eagerly pronounce tenth and stick
  their tongues out in the process. They are all
  listening attentively and actively participating
  in their learning.
• Miss W does a wonderful job of making everyday
  tasks like cleaning the class after a project fun
  for kids.
• Be anteaters and get all the trash.
• The kids eagerly hop around the class on all
  fours picking up the trash.

13
Field Notes

• How does the teacher check for understanding?
• Miss W checks for understanding by walking around
  the class and looking at the work of every child.
  
• The desks are arranged in two large groups which
  allows her to walk and look at every childs work
  to check for understanding.
• After walking around, Miss W often goes up to the
  board to ask for attention and says, Ive
  noticed that a lot of you are doing this instead
  of this.
• Miss W also gives the students feedback at their
  desks about how they are doing.
• Great job following directions.
• Why dont you try counting the squares to find
  out how many tenths there are. Good job.

Field Notes

• What kinds of group activities do the children
  do?
• Miss Ws classroom is almost always doing some
  sort of group activity. Even in their everyday
  lessons, the childrens desks are arranged in a
  big group and the children interact with each
  other throughout their seat work.
• The students play dice games in groups to
  practice their multiplication.
• One student rolls 3 die and the other has to
  arrange the three numbers into a multiplication
  problem. For example, if one student rolls a 3,5,
  and 6, then the problem could be 35 x 6 or 63 x
  5 etc.
• The kids get into groups of 3 or 4 to make
  stories together where every person is
  responsible for a different part of the story.
• One student is assigned the beginning, another
  the middle, and another the end and they have to
  collaborate to pick a story and the present it in
  front of the class.

15
Field Notes

• How does the teacher assess the students at the
  end of the lesson?
• Miss W varies her style of assessment.
• Sometimes she collects the students work for
  grading.
• Other times she has the students present their
  work to the class.
• Miss W also assesses student work while walking
  around the classroom looking at the students
  while they are working.
• Many students run up to Miss W after they have
  finished to show her their completed work, which
  she assesses then gives the student feedback.

Appendix

• Feedback from Danielle
• I like how you put all of the school graphics on
  the first slide
• The successive lesson plans look goodgood
  progression of introduction to application of
  fractions
• For field notes section, you might want to note
  that you are presenting all of your observations
  from the three days
• Great job so far!

17
Appendix

• Feedback from Steve
• Good work in-progress. You seem to know what you
  want to accomplish in your lesson plans. On
  slide 3 (Lesson Plans), perhaps you should
  indent the last three bullet points they say
  Lesson Plan 1, Lesson Plan 2, Lesson Plan 3 or
  you should list them on a separate slide. Some
  classroom data that is missing from your
  observations should be included (dates of
  observation, of students, etc.) Overall, great
  job!

Appendix

• Feedback from Saran
• -Very clear and easy to read!
• -I really like the way you formatted the lesson
  plans
• - Good examples and details from your fieldwork
  observations
• - Perhaps it would be helpful to include the
  fieldwork questions into your slides.
