As I walked through the hall, I got a chance to see what kind of teachers and faculty work there and also, what kind of students attend Asa Messer Elementary School. The faculty that I had a chance to meet and see are mostly white(the school seceratary is spanish, and one of the aids in my kindergarden is black), and all female. The two teachers I work with are both white. I noticed that most of the children who attend are black or of spanish culture. 4 of the The 6 children (3 kindergardeners, and 3 first graders) are black, and 2 are spanish.
My 6 students listen, but to an extent(they are kindergardeners and first graders, I expected them even before I met them to be a little crazy but it definately could be worse). They love the activities, but some are very easily distracted. There is this one boy who I already know is going to be an issue. He is always looking around, getting up out of his seat, doesnt follow directions and distracts the other boys in our reading group. I hope by the end of my time there I can get the respect from him and actually have him listen to me. The other 5 boys are eager to read, love to play the activities, and for the most part, listen to what I say.

Thinking back to the in class presentation today regarding the segregation, this is a prime example of how an area's population can create segregation within the schools. It is very interesting to see how this takes place without the direct influence of others. In regards to the boy who continuously acts up, have you asked the teacher how she gets through to him? Maybe she can share her skills with you so that you can have an easier time dealing with him, and so you can teach the information that he needs to progress.
