Observation Notes:
-Amanda, you did a great job again today! You were very well
prepared and used the reading materials very well. I like your
format! Took your time to get your group settled. You asked some
connection review questions, read the story as a group inserting
questions along the way, wound lesson up with a quick ending
review!
- physical setting promoted good teaching- small group, in a semi
circle, didnt make a big deal out of one student wanting a seat
change. You were facing each student and could help them keep
their place and focus on the task. Love the put your finger on the
place where we will start reading
-you reminded students about basket of stamps, bubble space
good!

- you gave an appropriate amount of space to Shamarcus (sp?)
giving her an indirect out from answering questions immediately
but still coming back to her and giving her more chances to join
-group response is important! Repeat after meobserve, parent,
wild
- wild animals versus tame animals- made connections to student
interest
-prepared questions- which seal is the parent? How is the mama
different? how did the monkey get up there?
- modeled I want to read this book! Good readers read again
and again!!!! Very important for them to hear again and again!
- Asked follow up questions- would these animals make good
pets?
- gave reward for good behavior- stamps on Bingo cards

Observation Suggestions
-model good reading for themcould read story to them first and
let them just listenwork on expression and phrasing and pausing
- could have special seat ready for them for reading group.youre
in blue chair today, youre in the dog chair todaylittle picture on
back of chairmake it gamey..might be positive way to begin????
-Read, read, read to them!!! Fun stories, stories that include
participation-words and motions, connect to their lives. A love of
reading is a real gift that you can give them!

Thanks for letting me observe today. Loved seeing your interactions
with students- very positive- yet requiring good school behavior
Thanks for asking me to read to your class- very fun for me! Have a
great week and even greater spring break! Say hi to Jackie for
