     The Past couple of weeks I have been observing Mrs.Burrows 5th grade English. This has been a very eventful experience and at the same time it has been very weird. 

My number one favorite thing about this class is how well they behave when I come in. They are always excided to see me and when I am there they are always polite to me. 

My second favorite thing is how funny the class is. When ever they are doing there writers notebook they are always trying to find something new and funny to put on it. When I am having a bad day they always make me laugh and it makes it better. 

My favorite method that the teacher uses is the reward system. She uses this thing called the Boo Basket. She will ask them a question and then if they get it right they get candy out of the Boo Basket. 

My second favorite thing that she uses is the writers notebook. This gives them a chance to be creative and make up stores. They also have the chance to write down how thankful they are for someone. 

This gives me a little bit of confidence. When the kids start to talk to me I can tell that they like me and it helps it go faster.     

Over all it has been a good experience in the in the middle school. I have very much enjoyed the time down there and getting to know the teachers and the kids

     I have just started to go down to the middle school and it has been very interesting. I do not know how I feel about it just yet because it is kinda overwhelming. 

My class favorite is they way the kids act towards each other. They are always so willing to help each other out and willing to help the teacher when needed. 

My second class favorite is how willing they are to answer questions. Anytime the teacher asks them for someone to answer they will start to argue over who is going to answer but I think that is a good thing. 

My favorite thing that the teacher does is the way she gets them to settle down. When she does this it is very respected by the kids and they are always willing to listen to her. 

My second favorite thing that the teacher does is how she calls on the kids. She does not choose the same ones every time and also she does not always chose who raises there had first. This give different kids an opportunity every time. 

In conclusion, this first week has been good and it going very well. This week has also been a little overwhelming but that is alright because its just the first week.
