I could expand on what I planned to meaningfully integrate other content areas by sitting down and using the resources that I have to plan accordingly. If I had more time, I feel that I could have integrated each area into each project. The children’s interests were captured by asking them daily what type of materials they wanted to use for their projects. The children found that using different materials appealed their interests. They were all excited when I mentioned painting on paper plates. This expanded their ideas of how to make projects. I have photographs that are evidence that they were engaged; this shows they were engaged because they followed through the whole activity; I correspondingly produced video recordings. By observations of play and non-play behaviors helped me to understand why children responded the way they did. I used hand over hand assistance for the child who needed the extra support. I offered suggestions throughout the project, if the children needed extra examples. The prior observations of the play and non-play behaviors also helped me to decide if the reactions were appropriate
