Jr.High Observations

  Introduction: My name is Iolas Smith and in this blog post I will be going over my Jr.High Observations. These are observations that I do for an Educational Technology class.


Jr.High Observation 1 = My first Jr.High observation for the year was a teacher named Mr.Freeman. Mr.Freeman is a science teacher for the 9th grade. In this observation I learned a lot about how to be patient with students who are not very respectful to you in your classroom. During this observation there were a lot of students that were disruptive during his class. He kept his calm and tried to redirect his class in a very civil way. I loved how he did it very respectfully and calmly but was productive. I would love to use this type of redirection in my classroom.


Jr.High Observation 2 = My second observation for the Jr.High was a teacher named Mrs.Cude. Mrs.Cude was a math teacher but I am unsure of what grade she was teaching. During my observation she was helping students study and get ready for one of the tests they were going to have the next day. I got to see different ways to help prepare students for their tests and I got to see the best ways to set up your study guides.



Something You Learned = Greatest Takeaway

My greatest takeaway with these observations would have to be patience. When being a teacher it is very easy to become impatient with your students and become frustrated with them. I think I need to work on my patience with people and with students because overall it will have a positive effect in my classroom if I do. 



Conclusion: Overall these observations were really great and I learned a lot of interesting things in the classroom.

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.

  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.
