I. Introduction This observation is conducted primarily to experience or see a teacher in action conducting her assessment and critic the way or methods the teacher used in assessing her students whether if it is effective or ineffective, its strengths and weaknesses in line with the assessment methods that were tackled in class. This is also to test my ability in conducting assessment to students and provide a feedback on how well I applied the concepts I learned and a reflection on how I can be more effective or improve my assessment strategy. The class that I observed was in Grade II – Lilac under Mrs. Carolyn Menuza in the University of the East Laboratory School. I observed their Science class on September 12 and 13 (I also did my own assessment the day after my observation). The students were mostly 7-8 years old and they were 31 in total. The students in this class were mostly very attentive although there were a few who were not paying attention. They also have a very stimulating environment; the materials inside the classroom were of different colors and the walls are painted with light pink and green colors. The classroom was also big enough for the class size.

In the worksheet it says there, On the line, write W for water animal, L for land animal, and B for both water and land animal.
