Elementary Classroom Observation

Observation Hours

My first observation group was at lunch time, ages 2 to 5 years old. I saw a proper health menu as well as a good routine of washing hands, cleaning teeth and good arrangement of cots. But one of the teachers grabbed her hair a couple times while wearing her gloves and feed the kids at the same time. I wish she could had her hair tide up. My second observation was at lunch time, ages 18 to 24 months. I was expecting some security to entry a daycare, and they let me in to the center without showing them any identification or documents from my school. The center was following proper hygiene standards, but was everything bit clutter in the classroom, and was really small for 11 kids and 3 teachers.

My third observation group was at lunch time, ages 2 years old. Their lunch menu was healthy and nutritious. They had a safety environment and good hygiene habits for before and after lunch, like washing hands. But I was surprise to notice they didn’t wash their teeth after lunch, from washing hands they jump directly to the cots to sleep, also the cots where not arrange properly, four of the kids had their face too close. Additionally, one of teachers cleaned the tables, spraying a soap solution and right way sprayed beach solution without cleaning the soap solution first. While both of the solutions were in the table one kid licked

I was able to observe daily health checkup and breakfast. After a kid was greeted by the teacher, she inspected the child and washed their hands and hers, then she placed the child at the table and feed them with a muffin, milk and orange for breakfast. Teeth were not brush of any kid at the end of breakfast. I think it was curios that the teachers will move on with the children as they advance of age, from natal room to toddler to pre-k and switching classrooms with the kids as well. I was not asked for my identification or any type or document
