3rd Observation

On my third observation at Pineridge Middle School I went on an early release day.  Because of this the periods were much shorter. It was also job shadow day where students were given the opportunity to shadow someone for the day at a job they would be interested in.  I first stopped into Mrs. Smith's room who teaches 8th grade English.  They were finishing up the novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" and watching the movie.  Her class has tables with chairs rather than desks and her classroom has a wide variety of books all around.  Along with a smartboard Mrs. Smith has 4 computers in the back of her room for student use.  I went to Ms. Hoffek's room next where she teaches 6th and 7th grade science.  Her class was watching a Magic School Bus video on the smartboard.
