Anecdotal records Grade 4 objectives: social studies lesson- students are to read pages in the book and answer questions. Science lesson- students work in groups to identify properties of matter

Analysis: I feel that Renny has a hard time paying attention and following the rules of the classroom. He seems bored with the material and needs higher motivation than the rest of the students. Joe is a student with special needs, he has learning and behavioral disabilities. He is easily distracted and has a teaching aid to help him with his work. Recommendations for furture intruction for entire class: In order for the entire class to pay attention and have motivation the teacher must include activities that will interest each student and relate to their developmental and learning level. When doing group work students should be paired in groups that will help them learn to their highest ability. Recommendations for future instruction for students sampled: Renny needs to learn that he must follow classroom rules, he needs to find motivation and be interested in the material being taught. He should be paired up with a student who can help interest him in the activities and help him pay attention. Joe does not like to listen to the teachers words, he does what he wants. For the future his desk should be placed near the teacher so she can keep a closer eye on him, he should be placed in groups with students who communicate well and will help Joe succeed.
