At the elementary school, I noticed that my teacher incorporated different teaching styles as she moved from subject to subject. The day began by reviewing the homework from the previous night. My teacher got the class involved in understanding why the right answer was right or to answer any questions. When that was done, the students began to learn a new poem. First, my teacher read the poem out loud, and explained what the poem was about. She also asked the students to visualize some of the imagery given in the poem. Later, it was the students turn to recite the poem. They were all so excited to learn a new poem, and even had hand motions when they recited it. To incorporate writing, the students next had to write the poem on a sheet of paper. They also had to write out the five senses and give examples from the poem. During this time, I worked with a little girl who is behind from the rest of the class as far as her writing skills. However, I was so excited when I noticed her writing and reading skills had improved. It was really interesting to view her progress. Once this activity was done, my teacher went on to lecture the class in science using the AvtiveBoard. This part of the class was also interactive because she kept the students focused by asking them questions.

Something I noticed and was very impressed by was how my teacher handles any bullying situation. Two little boys had made fun of a little girl and when the teacher found out she immediately took them to the side and had a stern conversation with them. Afterwards, they apologized to the girl.
