 Summary of student population:   

Mrs. Titshaw has a classroom of happy healthy first graders. The childen in her classroom are some of the most well-behaved and respectful children I have ever been around. I was amazed at how responsible these first graders are! There are only a couple of  <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">children that give problems. One of these children has a behavioral <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">IEP. Being able to observe the way Mrs. Titshaw handles these <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">things taught me tons of helpful ways to interact with children like <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">these. The children have a strict routine that they follow every <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">single day! They were quick to remind me if I happened to do things <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">out of order. They really look foward to read alouds and they let <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">me know when it was time for me to read. I learned so much while <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">being in Mrs. Titshaw's class and I enjoyed my time at Norris so  <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 0px;"> much!

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 0px;"> Classroom Managment: Mrs. Titshaw's classroom has rules that were student created. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">They have rules that generate around respect for each other, their <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">peers, and their surroundings. The classroom also has a behavioral <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">wheel. When a student makes a bad choice they are asked to move <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">their name to the next peice of the wheel. After moving their <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">names for the third time the peice of the wheel tells them to go to  <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">the office. If the students all go a week with very good behavior <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">they get to choose their reward. While I was in the classroom the <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">children went one week with great behavior. As a reward they got <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">to bring their favorite stuffed animal to school with them and rea <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;">d to it during reader's workshop. The children had a great time <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 0px; text-align: left;"> with this! Mrs. Titshaw does a great job with rules and rewards!
