Field notes: lining students up
CT- can I get your hands, hands, hands and eyes
Students- Oh hands, oh hands, oh hands and eyes
CT- I want the room cleaned and everyone in their seats in 5
when I call your number, I want you in line and ready to go
Students follow directions, and know what the teacher is expecting.
One girl was not following directions and my CT said: I like how (another girl) is following directions
It was interesting to see how complimenting another student doing the right thing, fixed the student
who was not on task.
CT- number 1,2,3 lineup
Once all students were lined up, they sang a fun rap song, but I was not able to write the lyrics down,
because I was up interacting at this point.
CT-Boys and girls I am not leaving this classroom until your hands are at your side and you are quiet
