    Observation 3

    I. Observation III
    Discipline
    II. Grade:
    First
    III. Students:
    IV. Setting
    First grade
    Same- age (7 year olds) classroom, 24 students, 1 head teacher.
    V. Pre- Observation:
    Observations were conducted on October 28th 2016. This observation was to observe the
    classroom management and discipline of students. Before I walked in the classroom to
    observe, I first read Consequences, Privileges, and Positive Discipline (Jennifer Besso
    2014).
    VI. Data:
    I walked in one day to see the teacher talking to the whole class about their behavior. She
    was out the previous day and the students had a substitute. The students were not
    listening and were goofy around. At the same time, she found out the three students who
    started it and took the three students out of the classroom to privately talk to them. The
    teacher was asking questions to some of the students trying to find out who started it. If a
    student gets in trouble, they could loose recess privileges. The teacher lets them have the
    chance to tell the truth before they get a consequence. The students get a reward for
    doing something good. For an example, if someone stands up and tells the truth, the
    teacher could decide to give him/her a sticker. Another example is what a student used a
    wizard word, meaning he used a new vocabulary word and got to take home a reward
    sheet. If for any reason the classroom is out of control, the teacher sends the student to a
    male teacher who teachers fourth grade and they come back more behaved.
    VII. Analysis:
    I think the classroom discipline is well managed. There is no time-out system and no
    sarcasm. The teacher has taught them to listen to her when she makes a hand gesture. For
    an example, at lunch she comes to pick up the students and all she needs is to point and
    not say a word and the students know to line up quietly. In the classroom if its getting
    too loud, the teacher says a phrase and the students repeat it. I was surprised how well
    they listen when they want to listen. If a student gets in trouble for lying, the teacher

    talks to them one on one and asks them how they would feel if it happened to them. I
    think the reward method of giving out stickers and reward sheets to take home is a good
    idea. It makes the child feel good when they do something good. It makes them feel
    more confident and makes them want to do more good behavior. I think it also shows an
    example to the other students who dont behave so well and if they want to take home a
    reward sheet or sticker.

    VIII. Recommendations:
    I recommend a reward method for the whole class so they can work together and earn
    something. For an example, lying is a big issue in the classroom, so if the class is good
    and tells the truth, they earn a marble and if they get enough marbles they will earn a
    pizza party or ten minutes extra of recess. It states, By enforcing good behavior, the
    students learn that the teachers attention does not always focus on the bad
    students (Besso 2014). In other words, enforcing good behavior and having them work
    for something is better than taking something away when they are bad.

    IX. Post- Observation:


    It was overall a good visit and learned a lot about the different discipline methods of how
    to discipline a large class.
