Clinical Observation

I'm doing my observations in a first grade classroom with 21 students. There is one student that I noticed has a lot of trouble staying awake and on task. The teacher or I have to go over and remind the student what he is suppose to be doing every few minutes or he falls asleep. Also, when the teacher uses the document camera or smart board she turns the lights off and after a few minutes he falls asleep. The teacher has had me to work with him one on one at the back table and he usually gets all the questions that I ask him correct. I'm not sure if he doesn't get enough sleep at night or what causes him to be so tired. He always is one or two assignments behind the rest of the class because he can't concentrate on them to get them done on time. I have noticed that he goes to work room almost every day that I've been there, which means that he doesn't get recess. From what I have observed he has the ability to do the assignment, he just needs to stay awake and on task.

Where I am from poem

I am from the mountain with the blue lake, from hot pepperoni pizza, and good old mountain dew.

I am from the two story gray house with the big wooden deck with the howling wind whistling by my window.

I am from the Douglas fur, cherry blossoms, and fresh dew on the hillside.

I am from Christmas eve and eating paps famous spaghetti, from Adam and Katie and a loving spirited family.

I am from picnics on the 4th of July and Christmas with my grandparents.

From no place like home and a visit from Santa on Christmas eve.

I am from a Presbyterian backing in a little white church.

I'm from Morgantown, Italy, hot lasagna, kabushka, and hootenanny cake.

From the stories about granny Neighbors, the wounded rabbit and my husbands stories about the good old days.

I am from the burn proof boxes, the boxes in the attic and many photo albums on the top shelf.

I am from living for the future and staying with the present and loving my family.
