Teacher: Ms. Sumor
Grade level: 2nd grade
When I first came in Ms. Sumor's class they were doing DI Reading; she had 3rd graders in her class. Some of them were very loud & some were very quiet. They were reading a booklet and when they were done, Ms. Sumor tests them one by one on the story they were reading to check if they understood what they read. If they pass the 2nd grade level reading then they can continue to the next reading level.
By 9:00, her 2nd grade class came in, they were very behaved and i was surprised because they all payed attention to her. Ms. Lee was absent to Ms. Sumor had to watch extra students from Ms. Lee's class. They had hard time behaving but when they saw Ms. Sumors class behaving & paying attention to Ms. Sumor while she was talking, all the students did the same.
They read a story from the booklet and the teacher asked questions.
After reading, they went over their spelling words; they had about 20 spelling words. The teacher assigns students to have turns holding up the ruler to lead the class in spelling the word on the board. When they were done reviewing the words, the teacher gave them a assignment by choosing 5 words from the 20 and writing a sentence using the word.
I was very impressed by some of the sentences the students made, they were very advanced. It showed that Ms. Sumor was doing a great job teaching her class because they were all quiet, behaved and listening. It was a great experience observing a 2nd grade class. i never knew children at that age could be so well behaved.
