Observing Communication
I observed a preschool classroom at my school for this project. The teachers worked together they read each others ques to move around the room and effectively help the classroom. The room that I observed was an exception needs classroom. They have 8 children and 3 teachers. The teachers asked open ended question in which they rarely obtained responses to. This class is a self contained classroom. They have to do a lot of one on one with theses children. They don't always play with each other they kind of do a parallel play. The teachers sat in different areas of the classroom on the floor they practiced rolling a ball or tossing a ball to each other. The children were able to roam freely and play as they wished. The teachers would play where the children where interesting in playing and assist them. The teachers themselves communicated clearly with each other. They rotated appropriately to meet the needs of all the children. I don't know if I could add anything to the way that they communicated or taught the children because I have never taught a self contained classroom. They spend an hour of our playground time outside with us. I know how difficult this hour is with them I can only imagine the classroom experience. I feel that the teachers did a wonderful job communicating and interacting with the children.
