Observation
In the past weeks I have been able to observe and interact with this teacher during literacy time in the classroom. This classroom is vibrant and rich in language not only during literacy time but throughout the day. Its rich in language and children are address in if their native language if the need arise. Parent are made very welcome at arrival time teachers make sure to address the child as well as the parent , from my observation parent are given a few minutes to talk and ask question if needed. Parent can also set an appointment if longer time is required. I learn during my observation that is important to give the child plenty of time to process what is being spoken by allowing the child to express verbally and ask questions. Children in this classroom interact with their peers and are able to maintain conversation among them during play time. Looking forward to more observation, and holding more in-depth conversation on literacy with this teacher.
The classroom sounds like an environment that is blooming with education. I think classrooms and how they are kept correlate with how a child will interact and develop. It is a very good thing that the teachers make the effort to communicate with the parents, because it shows their commitment to a child's growth. I wish you good luck with your research!
