Student Observation

I get to the school at 10:15
I wanted to see in the first ten minutes how many times the student would be distracted by what was going on in the back of the room. The student looked back 13 times, that observed as I poured paints into cups. When the students began I handed her paint first. As the other student began to paint she watched as I walked around the room. I attended to other students and walked around the room as the students began to finish their project she was the last to finish. I noticed that she was tuned into other peoples conversations and looked up at everyone who walked their completed project to the back.
I was then sent to help another class and then took half the class outside for reading followed by going to the star-buck store. When I returned to the class they were doing grammar worksheets. I watched in the back and helped students that raised their hand. I helped her a few times but then I realized she knew the answer to all the questions she need me to talk too. I pulled her and another student to the back one that needed help seeing the things on the board so I copied them and her to keep her focus. I tried to catch her every time she lost her focus but every time I moved or helped the other student. By the end of the day I was exhausted from trying not to catch her eye to much.
