4.4 Middle School Observations

Middle School 1 = Mrs. Patterson


Something You Learned = Greatest Takeaway

  • Thing 1: The first thing I enjoyed about Mrs. Patterson's teaching skills was that she explained things to her students very well and was very descriptive.
  • Thing 2: The second thing I enjoyed a lot was that she was always walking around the class to make sure the students understood everything and that she was there if any student needed help with anything.

Greatest takeaway: My greatest takeaway was to always be open with communication with your students. As a future teacher I should always try to communicate with my students to the dest of my ability or even over communicate to make sure they fully understand.

Middle School 1 = Mrs. Barker


Something You Learned = Greatest Takeaway

  • Thing 1: I enjoyed how much she used group discussion I the class. I think it is smart to let the class speak out when they can especially since they are at a younger age therefore they are going to walk to talk even more. Mrs.Barker lets the students share there ideas with the other students or with the class. This helps the students to not interrupt her when she is teaching.
  • Thing 2: My second greatest takeaway is the use of highlighters. I love how she makes the students highlight there answers or important parts of passages. This helps the students stay more focused or even get a little more excited about the lesson because they get to use color.

Greatest takeaway: The greatest takeaway would be to always find things that interest the students. Then try to find something that involves that interest that the students have but that also benefits them or their learning.

One Word for 2026

 Heal  Throughout 2025 I went through a lot with my physical and mental well being. I experienced two surgeries and went to the emergency room several times. With all of this happening I have realized that I have never really given myself the proper time to heal. Yes my physical body has healed most of the way from 2025 but not my mentality. In 2026 I plan on giving myself more grace, letting myself be open, meditating and giving joy back into myself. But I can't do any of this without healing. I am a very religious person, who is focused a lot on God's miracles. I know that God will help heal me, so this year I will do just that. This year I will regain my happiness, regain my joy, and heal my mind, body, and soul.

Middle School Observations

  Introduction: My name is Iolas Smith and I am currently a senior taking a class called Educational Technology to help myself become a Pre-Educator. In today's blog post I will be going over my middle school observations. For these observations I had the same teacher for my 2-week. Middle School Observation 1 = For my first middle school observation I had a teacher named Mrs.Cooper. She is the music teacher in the middle and the choir teacher. For my first observation with her she went over the song firework with her students and she taught them a lot about lines and spaces in music. Then the students played a game to help them get more familiar with were spaces and the lines are on a staff. In the observation I learned how to make class time more fun and enjoyable for students.
