Post # 3: Prompt 2

There is one teacher in the classroom where I tutor and one teachers aid. The teacher is a white middle aged woman, and the teachers aid is also a middle age white woman. As far as the students, there is a lot of diversity. Some of the ethnicitys of the students are African American, Hispanic, White, and Asian. Both the students and the teachers only speak English as far as i know. I'm not sure if some of the kids speak different languages at home. Some of the students don't speak much in the classroom because of their disabilities.Some of the students seem to come from good homes but not all of them. The teacher asked one of the little boys where his shoes were and why he was wearing his boots. He told her they had broke and he didn't have any others. She instantly started to talk about looking up online where she could get him some shoes and asked him his shoe size. You can tell some of the kids come from families that can barely pay for the kids to eat lunch and breakfast, seeing as they eat both lunch and breakfast at school.I haven't been there long enough to really know a lot about the kids, but I am hoping to get to know them and what their home life and cultures are like.

Post 2: a brief overview

Prompt #1
I went to my classroom I am tutoring at about 2 weeks ago. When i first arrived to the school I was very excited but a little nervous. I was not sure on what to expect. I am working with preschoolers and I'm not used to this age group, they are younger then the kids I work with at my work.From the outside of the school it seemed to be a fairly nice school. The set up inside was different from any school that I have been in. The cafeteria was right when you walked in and there were separate hallways off of the cafeteria. The hall way that my classroom was in had a small playground type area in the center of all the class rooms. I believe it was there because most of the classrooms in this hall are for special needs kids.The classroom itself was nicely set up. The kids knew to hang up their coats and back packs when they walked in the door. They all had jobs to do to prepare for breakfast. All the kids in the class get a breakfast from the school. They had circle time after breakfast, where they talked about what day of the week it was and what the weather was like outside. Then they changed for swim and practiced math while waiting for all the kids to change.I felt that my teacher really cares about the kids she is teaching and wants them to succeed no matter how difficult or long it may take. I also respect her patients with the children because a lot of her students were special needs kids and had particular needs that needed to be met in order for them to focus and learn.
