Jaden immediately stood out amongst his peers. While observing the entire class looking for a child to observe for the quarter, I took an interest in Jaden. The initial thing I noticed about him was his clothing; I really liked his style. Whether that was based on his personal style or his parents’ style, I don’t know; all I know is it caught my attention. When I first noticed him, he was wearing a pair of black joggers and a puffy winter jacket zipped up to the top. I thought to myself that that was something I would wear myself, almost in awe of such style on a young child. In addition, I noticed his fresh haircut, which was similar to the haircut I had at the moment. He had a small Mohawk; the sides of head were tapered up leaving a wide

A perfect anecdote depicting this is seen as follows. Jaden, who is 3 years and 5 months old, was playing at the woodwork station with three other children.

His left hip was by the table, while the rest of his body was facing left. He was looking toward Teacher Minjae quite often, but he couldn’t always catch her attention. The other students were hard at work creating their wood working pieces; therefore, there wasn’t much interaction at the table between children. Teacher Minjae had an emphasis on safety, considering the children were utilizing hammers and nails. With that said, she was moving from child to child making sure they were using the tools safely. Moreover, I would like to observe the actual dramatic play. Jaden spent a lot of his time observing others at the table than focusing on his own project. He would stand with a blank stare at the child next to them, as they were working on their woodworking project. His woodwork glasses were unsymmetrical on his face because the left arm of the glasses was off his ear. He would stare for about 3 minutes and then return to his project. During the actual project, his pinky was up, while he was placing the nails. He would go about placing the nail setters and getting the nails; after this, he would promptly ask for Teacher Minjae’s assistance. Jaden would say the following:” Teacher, teacher… I need you!” The teacher would eventually come over and guide him through the process. Jaden would nail with his left hand very close to the head of the hammer. His right hand would be at the base of the hammer. He wouldn’t make much progress hammering this way; therefore, Teacher Minjae gave him a technique that worked. She demonstrated how he should tap on the nail when it is initially in the nail setter. She did this
