Practicum
I really enjoyed my placement in Mrs. Riley's class and I plan on going back and visiting the class. I loved learning new techniques on how to manage the classroom, like Mrs. Riley would stop talking to show that she was waiting for the students to stop talking because that is not respectful to talk to while someone else is talking. I also liked seeing the student teacher take over the class and use her own techniques for keeping the room clean. She would have a game called secret item and she would have the students pick up an item off the floor that had been dropped throughout the day and whoever had the secret item got a piece of candy. Then she found out that the students liked it better if they just kept the class clean all the time and then she would put a handful of bears into a jar and when it became full she would give the whole class a prize.

I really enjoyed Mrs. Curran's class I learned a lot of new techniques and how to manage my classroom. Mrs. Curran would use a rain stick to get the students attention but if it didn't work then she would turn off the lights until the students were ready. I really like that if the students did not bring their homework or bring their library book then Mrs. Curran would send them to the office to call their parents to bring their stuff. If i was a student I would not want to go down and call my parents because i forgot my homework or a library book. This teaches the students to be responsible for their homework and library book.
