7. Reflect: Why did Ms. Nappier ask the students to show her one or two fingers indicating their preference for reading alone or with someone? Was this important? Why or why not?

8. Though it may be a bit difficult to hear Ms. Nappier and the students, you can see she has taken note paper and a pen from her desk and just sat down next to some students. What do you think she is going to do and why?

She moved to another group of students. How does Ms. Nappier interact with the students? Reflect on what you observe.

9. Did you see the student enter the classroom and hand Ms. Nappier the pink piece of paper she had earlier?

What can you conclude about classroom procedures Ms. Nappier has in place so that interruptions to instruction are kept to a minimum?
