Comments:
Ms. Rogerson has an inviting classroom. When I walked in, students are seated on their respective seats.
Ms. Rogerson is giving directions to students while they wait to watch an episode of Peppa Pig on the
smartboard. Students looked forward to watching the short episode. Meanwhile, Ms. Rogerson asked the
whole group about what the representative from the organization From the Heart expect the students to
have and they replied in chorus To have self-control. Ms. Rogerson has an inviting classroom. On her
walls are a variety of pictures to encourage learning. Likewise, pictures of letters, shapes, numbers and

other literacy materials are posted. The classroom is divided into different stations: the teachers desks,
students desks, reading station, math corner as well as for computer work.
