    Field Experience Multi Culture Setting

    Observation 1
    I. Observation 1:
    Setting

    II. Grade:
    Kindergarten

    III. Students:
    9 girls, 9 boys

    IV. Setting:
    Lamonte Annex, Bound Brook NJ
    Multi-Age (5-6 years old) classroom, 18 students, 1 head teacher.

    V. Pre Observation
    I conducted this observation to analyze the setting in an early childhood education
    classroom. I also planned to identify any improvements that could be made. I
    selected a kindergarten class from the Lamonte Annex, a Bound Brook NJ
    elementary school. I set aside a three-hour block to use to observe and form a
    running record. To better prepare myself for this observation, I conducted some
    research about developmentally appropriate classroom settings.

    VI. Data:
    Observations were conducted on February 22, 2017.
    Light Green Carpet

    Purple Cubbies

    Teal Childrens Tables

    Red Teacher Desk and Chair

    Dark Green Easel

    Yellow Cabinet Space

    Light Blue Excess Tables

    Orange Smart Board/White Board

    Brown Learning Centers (Play Kitchen, etc.)

    Pink Library and Couch

    VII. Analysis:
    In this classroom, the setting is bright and colorful and contains many attributes of
    a developmentally appropriate setting. There is artwork that covers the walls.
    They have a carpet where they all gather for lessons, and tables to do work at.
    There is a variety of learning centers, from a play kitchen to a puppet show. The
    library is in the far corner which makes it perfect for quiet reading.

    VIII. Recommendations:
    Overall, there is not much that I would change. I would, however, eliminate the
    extra tables located at various places around the room. They serve little purpose
    and are hardly used. I would instead that space to add more learning centers. I
    would also label things in both Spanish and English so as to help with their
    language skills. Additionally, It is distracting to readers having the library right
    next to their cubbies. I would move the cubbies to the opposite corner, where the
    supply closet and the random extra table is. This way, the children arent
    distracted by their things while trying to read quietly. I think it would also be good
    because the kids come in through the door, and then their cubbies are right there
    on the right. There is no distraction of going all the way into the opposite corner
    just to put their things away or retrieve their lunchbox/coat for lunch/recess. It
    would make for a much smoother transition in and out of the classroom.
    IX. Post Observation:
    This observation went well. The setting of the classroom was almost perfect, but I
    had a few suggestions to give. Other than that, I think this classroom was set up
    very nicely.
