reminds her that she has to raise her hand. She is easily distracted when thinking about things that are off topic. Shelby will tell you stories beyond stories if you let her. I noticed that she follows directions very well and is very respectful. She is very well engaged in class, but she is not the type that will volunteer to answer questions unless she knows the answer or she can make up the answer on her own. She is a slower reader that sets her back a little bit when reading silently. While observing they were reading a short story about cemeteries and the end of the story ended in a weird spot that they could make up with how the character died. Well the teacher read aloud she would ask questions periodically and Shelby new all the answers.…show more content… This class was right after lunch where everyone is hyper and sugared up. The first thing that was happening was they were all getting new assigned seats. Shelby listened very well and had nothing to say about her seat. They were taking notes off of the power point; I noticed that it takes her a little longer to copy notes down from the board to paper. When she finished early with some of the notes, she would get easily distracted by playing with the pencil and would not start the notes until minutes later. When she is told that this will be it she will rush through. As I read in her IEP she likes science and is very engaged. She still speaks out during class, but she stays on the topic. She is very involved in science and will ask questions about things. She tends to go with the flow when doing things. The teacher really never called on her unless she had her hand up. I noticed that her class that she was in had about two to three students with special needs in the class room. The one student was always two questions behind, but on the bright side no one made fun of them and just went with the flow. Shelby will not talk in class unless she was aloud, after class was over they had about two minutes to spear and she starting talking to the girl that she sits next to and this just shows that she is a friendly and can make friends. Another question that I asked dealt with “What are you as a teacher doing so Shelby can meet her…show more content… Her math class was in the special education room that had only two other students in the class. The first thing done in class was checking if they all did their homework, she replies by saying that she did more problems than asked. I think the reason why she did that is because they were only supposed to do half of the page and her anxiety took over and she had to do the whole page. When Shelby is talking about math or ask a questions she has no common sense, dealing with what slope is in real life. In math they were learning about slope, the one kid in the class always wonders how this will be aliped to the real world. So, Mr. Edwards took the students to the stairs where he passed out individual pieces of paper out. Shelby did not want the piece of paper, so he gave her the opportunity to use her note book if she wanted too. The class was going to measure in centimeters and inches. Shelby was able to read the ruler every well, but got a little confused when she was asked how many inches and centimeters. She also was asked if she would be able to calculate how much carpet would be needed to cover every step. She said yes and started doing it. When they went back to the classroom Shelby started to get very distracted from the other students in the class by getting off subject. Once she is distracted she has a hard time getting back on track, which makes her forget what page they are on and what problem they
