So far observing an EIP teacher has been really fun! She is known as the "cart lady" because she doesn't have her own classroom. I can imagine that she gets annoyed with not having her own room and having to travel from classroom to classroom and pull the students out. I can tell that the students enjoy coming to see Mrs. Randall. She has a lot of patience with them and I think they can tell that she really does care about them. Sometimes we will sit in the hallway, and sometimes we will sit in this tiny closet. When we are in the hallway it is very distracting to me, so i can't imagine how distracting it can get for the students. It is especially loud in the hallways sometimes because other classes have to walk by us to get to the playground. When this happens we have to pause and wait to move on so a lot of time seems to be wasted. I can tell that Mrs. Randall really enjoys being in EIP teacher and is very passionate about it! I can't wait to be a future teacher and I hope I can be as passionate as she seems to be!

I am a junior at Georgia Southern University and currently in the Early Childhood Education program. This semester I am a curriculum student at Claxton Elementary School. I will be observing Ms. Randall's EIP classroom. I can't wait to meet her and see what her day is like as an EIP teacher. Last semester I was a PPB student at Brooklet Elementary School. I observed Mr. Petkewich's third grade class and absolutely loved it!
