School

I’ve completed my observation at Albury Sayles Primary School. It is located on Nassau Street, and is Elementary/ Primary School. The building is painted yellow and green. The environment was clean and a bit noisy. The student body attitudes are mannerly, and their diversity is mixed.

Administration

The administrators dress appropriately. They treated their teachers with respects, and their attitude was the same. Their attitude towards me as a prospective teacher was relentless.

Staff

The Staff dressed appropriately. The attitude towards administration and teachers was respectful. Their attitudes towards the students were stern. Their attitude towards me was appreciative.

Classroom

The classroom was average size. There were charts all over the classroom and bulletin boards. Their ritual was having assembly every Tuesday mornings. If not, they would stay in class and do morning devotions. The students would clap twice for every correct answer another child answers.

Teachers

The teacher role was to impart her knowledge to the students. Her responsibility was to ensure that all students understand the concept, and know how to spell words. She spoke Standard English. She believed that all students can do their best. Her teaching method was allowing all students to participate in games, such as allowing each student read a sentence off of the bulletin board correctly. If a student gets it incorrect they would have to be seated. If a student is disrespectful, she would not allow them to participate in the game. She would also let the stretch. She dressed appropriately. Her relationship with the students was close.

Students in the Classroom

The students’ responsibility was to pay attention to the teacher to learn. There were 17 students in class. The students were all prepared for class. Their behavior was great, except one little boy. They had a good thinking skill.

Overall Impression of the School

I felt comfortable in that school. I think it was a pleasant visit. I learn that you should always have that one disrespectful child in your class. Most of all I liked the way she created her lesson without a lesson plan. The coolest thing I remembered was my conversation with the principal. She is a very cool person.
