Classroom Observation Worksheet
I. Environment
What do you notice about the layout of the rooms, the equipment, and materials that are conducive to working well with a group of young children? Feel free to draw a diagram
The classroom environment was very colorful and cheerful. The classroom was well lit and ventilated. The atmosphere in the classroom was cheerful. There was lot of energy in the class. The students were disciplined and were listening to the teacher’s instructions carefully. Despite the fact that the children were very young the way Ms. Gore was handling the class and managing the children was very nice. Whenever she wanted to give any instructions, the class became quiet and listened very attentively. The entire atmosphere was very nice.
The walls of the classroom were adorned with a variety of things made by the students themselves. These were small things made using crayons. They were color illustrations of a flower, sun, birds, sceneries, etc. Each of the display items had the name of the children who made them. This made the children proud.
Anything you would add, change or question in the environment?
There is not nothing that I would like to change in the classroom. The layout of the classroom was well planned and there is not really anything I would like to change here.
II. Staff
List examples of some topics of casual conversation observed between children and staff:
Despite the formal lesson and teaching plan, the conversation in the class meandered off the plan and children spoke excitedly about their upcoming birthdays, trips that they went on, ice cream that they ate, etc. The environment was informal and very conducive to learning at that stage.
Written Reflection
The classroom was well managed. Discipline well maintained. Despite a presence of a formal teaching plan the teacher was managing the meandering, well and kept the class well under control. Cheerfulness and informal atmosphere in the class kept the class on track. An excellent classroom experience.
