Classroom was set up and clean, you were
well prepared

A parent mentioned as she dropped her


child off "Oh, it looks like there are so
many great things to do today, you are
going to have fun day" Her child smiled
and went happily to the blocks cars and
tracks.
Peek a boo with W! I observed your
conversations at the sensory table,
dramatic play and small group today. You
were able to balance lead teacher
responsibilities and still managed to have
conversations with children and meet their
needs.

Lots of smiles, and positive energy. Haley I


can always expect a lot of fun and
enthusiasim from you. You have this
natural positive attitude.

Looked up 3 times and checked the door.


Noticed a child, not from our lab who
came in and motioned for Morgan to come
and take care of the situation which was
appropriate for you to do as lead teacher

I have observed you today as well as other


days anticipating what children need and
taking th time to respond to them.
Giving W choices of play and engaging him
with the stuffed animals in the block area. I
could see you were trying to engage him in
the block play. Good job! You also
followed him to the loft and continued the
play.

I observed you telling many children you


would help them or get something for
them later like markers for the easel and
you followed through.

Again, you listened to R's questions and


answered appropriately
I've observed you today and several days
stepping up and approaching a child who
needed redirection of some sort. You have
given them choices, listened to their
interests and gone out of you way to meet
their needs. I have watched you follow
through and get them back involved in an
appropriate manner. You have tried with R
and R to get them to clean up and
transition to circle using a variety of
strategies while honoring their feelings.
Even when it was not successful you stayed
with them and asked for help. Thank you
for taking the risk these first days!
The clean up went really quickly with our
new plan for the children so we had
children finished and looking for
something to do. You were inovative and
played the block game with them as more
children came over and we had about half
of the children there. Then you started
your transition song "Baby Shark". The
children loved it and I was able to help R
stay involved because you made it fun.

Your puppets gained their attention right


away and you started right into the story as
I suggested. Having blocks and the real
items there kept their interest

You did not have to refer to you notes, you


knew what was coming next.
Your Simon Says activity encouraged them
to think about their unique differences
(ITBE) and involved them physically to
stand up, participate and be active

Again, puppets, blocks and child


engagement
Your lesson was engaging and you did well
as some of our wandering children got up
and got in front of you. You told the
children to sit on the tape with clear
instructions. Don't be afraid to ask for the
support teachers help in helping a child be
where he needs to be. You can give them
a signal, a look or even verbally tell them
what you need them to do! You are lead
tacher!

The children were engaged throughout.


You used your voice and inthusiasim to
redirect them back to you when some wer
distracted. The Simon Says with
differences such as stand up if you are a
girl got them thinking! Your support
teachers did a good job of helping them
sort out the activity. Good for them! They
asked questions and you answered and
thank goodness some of the teachers
helped out as well.
Excellent, no down time or turn taking. You
were enthusiastic and used your voice to
keep them interested. Pace was good.
Your activities such as the easel and
drawing each other was a hit! Also, they
enjoyed the measuring as long as a teacher
was there to engage them in the activity.
Two of the activities related to your ITBE.
Your phonemic activity went well with
several children engaging in the book area
with the letters. All activities allowed for
process focus rather than a product.
All activities were safe and childen had
hands on experiences in play both inside
and out. I observed all levels of play from
some children playing alone in the sensory
to the busy dramatic play where children
were engaged in social play
Activities were all based on the children's
interests as discovered in preplanning and
assessment from home visits and prior
experieinces at preschool. You made
adjustments with the easel activity even in
letting them draw you when a friend
wasn't present. and supported the
measuring activity when you could.

Yes, you did a great job in preparing your


teachers in how to support the children
and supporting teachers and children
throughout thte day.
I observed several children engaged in the
very activities you had planned for them.
The teachers were aware of their needs
such as sharing, literacy, keeping crayons
on paper! Etc

You had back up activities prepared in the


resource room but you didn't need to use
them. All children stayed enagged and
then went outside and most of the
children stayed out the remainder of the
time.

Out door play was set up with appropriate


planned activities. They really loved the
stilts and it gave J an opportunity to share
and wait his turn as you planned. Outdoor
was a bit late in being cleaned up but got
done. It's our first week!
The children demonstrated even more
involved scripts as they played here for the
third day. Literacy , and math were
addressed Through the numbers on the
clock and the magazines and food boxes. I
did observe the teachers answering
literacy questions and modeling reading
but not the clock.
5 minute warning was given , then song
began and yu started clean up. I observed
you helping several children who were
disinterested and resisted cleaning today
as you usually do. You can signal for more
help from your support teachers on your
lead teaching day because you need to
keep the flow of clean up and get the tubs
etc as well as getting your gathering ready.
All in all a good job. We all need to now
work on having chilren clean up more
throughout the day.
You used Scat the Cat for your transition.
Remember to have them move in some
way that meets your ITBE Children could
partner and hold hands as they walk over.
There was limited waiting and all children
checked their color. It would help if the
teachers had a color for them to see who
they go with. We will all need to do this.

You were well aware of the needed


materials, sat and engaged with some
children in a way where you could still see
the other groups. Just be sure to get up
and float around some to be sure all is
well. Balance your sitting and floating, you
will get it! You were totally aware of the
timing and saw a need to extend the
activity. We probably should plan
extenders for our small group plans in case
they are too short.
Yes
You took the lead very well today. You had
your preplan meeting with your teachers
and ensured they were ready to support
the children and the activity in the way you
planned. You had a great balance of
teachers to children and as I scanned the
room several times during self selected
activities there was a balance of children
engaged across the room. Very nice, it felt
and looked great. I obseved you counting
children often and changing the count as
you wrote on the wall when a child came
in late. You checked on children outside
and counted several times as children
came in. You handled snack very well and I
feel every child had an opportunity

You did a great job staying on schedule.


Gathering time has been running short this
week and so has small group but you were
aware of children and asked for ideas of
what to do to expand the activity and add
paper and crayons or move on to closing.
We will better gage time as the weeks go
on. This just takes experience
