Demographics in Mrs. Rollins third grade class:

Mrs. Rollins has a great third grade class. There are 18 Students, 11 Females and 7 males. There are 6 African American students, 12 Caucasian students and no Hispanic students. All students in Mrs. Rollins class are treated equally regardless of race or gender. Most of the students are middle class with the exception of a couple that come from lower income families. In the text it discusses how there is a relationship between socioeconomic status and achievement in school (Lemlech 2006). I believe this to be very true because some of the students that are from lower income families have attendance issues and have had to be notified by the school to make sure it doesn’t continue.
In class we talked about how girls tend to interact and participate in class less often and teachers don’t call on them as much. In Mrs. Rollins class I see the exact opposite thing happening. The girls in the class interact a lot more than the boys do and girls are called on just as much as boys are. Mrs. Rollins does not favor any gender over another. She treats her class as one unit and by observing her class there are no students that stick out more than others.
There are 5 students in Mrs. Rollins class that need to be tested for quest. They think very differently and more creatively than the other students. These students are very well behaved, always on task and are the ones who come from higher income families. I believe the success of these students is a direct result of their parent’s involvement in their education. Mrs. Rollins is such a good teacher and the interaction between her and her students is so positive that all her students are pretty well behaved and on task throughout lessons. There aren’t any students that I know of receiving special education services. Each child is so unique but in Mrs. Rollins class everyone is treated so equally you would never be able to pick out the slower learners from the faster learners. I hope to achieve what Mrs. Rollins has achieved when I become a teacher.
