Second Grade Anecdotal Records Objectives: To observe and record student behavior which can be referred to later for grading and report card purposes

Future Instruction for class: Focus more on classroom management. The class does not obey the rules they created in the beginning of the year. Review the rules and have more strice punishments if they are not followed as well as rewards for when the rules are followed. Remind the students that they do not need to be completely silent for the entire class but if everyone yells out answers or comments whenever they want to no one will be able to to their work because of all the distractions. Allow the students time to work with partners. During this time encourage the students to share their ideas and quesitons with their partners. Show the students that you value their opinions but they need to allow everyone the chance to share by raising their hand.

Future Instruction of the students sampled: Remind the students they they cannot yell out but their opinions do matter and they will be allowed to participate in class discussions if they raise their hand. Maybe create a message box so the students can write their questions or comments down and place them in the box. Some qurestions and comments from the box can be read at the end of day when everyone is getting ready to go home. This will allow the teacher to continue his or her lesson without interuptions but will also allow the students to ask their questions or share their comments at a more convenient time. As for the student who works hard but is a little shy... encourage the student to participate in group work as well as whole class work. Always offer opportunities for the students to work together so they can learn more from each other as well as from the teacher. This will promote social skills as well as learning.
