Abc's And Nursery Rhymes

Improved Essays
Now it was the year 2004 when I first entered preschool. I was 4 years old at that time; a small girl that was being introduced to the abc’s, numbers, and nursery rhymes. It was fun to interact with children my age but little did I know that preschool would be the beginning of my very own strenuous chronicles of learning. Like any other kid in preschool there was no doubt that I loved sleeping, drawing, and playing during recess... though I couldn’t really say the same for learning. I deeply struggled remembering the abc’s and as well simple numbers like “1, 2, 3”. This learning problem did not only affect me mentally in preschool but also at home with my parents. According to my mom whenever I wanted something or wanted to ask a question they

    Part B: During the children’s early years, they learn that mathematics helps people making sense of their environments through play, investigations, real-life situations, and focused learning experiences. Children come to school with different experiences about mathematics (Anghileri, 2006; Yelland, Butler, & Diezmann, 1999). Many children enjoy singing number names, identifying how big objects and people are, labelling shapes, and using their developing mathematical understandings to think and reason (Reys, Lindquist, Lambdin, Smith, Rogers, Falle, Frid, & Bennett, 2012; Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers, 1997). In the education system there is a framework describing the children’s mathematical development and expected levels…

    When starting Daily 5 for the first time with a class, it is important to start small and build up from there. Repetition is also very important when beginning Daily 5.

    Howes (2010) verbalized that in the field of early childhood edification that there is an prospect that children’s development fortified by quality early edification be framed for “poor children as well as affluent; children of color as well as White children; and children who verbalize English as a first, second, or third language” (p. 1). Howes (2010) argues that there are “two sets of prospects, of both exemplary and culturally adaptive standards of care” where a macrocosmic view of development is pellucidly problematic. Not only is it “difficult for edifiers and programs to conceptualize and to implement” (p. 1) these macrocosmic programs, but edifiers withal need support in cerebrating about, and interpreting the range of culturally…

    For our # interview, we interviewed Jennifer Killigrew, the speech teacher at Balsz Elementary School. We started off our conversation by discussing the thirty million word gap. She said the majority of children she has seen over the years come from a lower SES, and she attributes the pattern to, “prenatal care, general health, the age of the mother, and the lifestyle of the family.” My next question I asked was why she thought early intervention is critical, “Early intervention is crucial, because when you’re between the ages of zero-two, you haven’t developed habits yet. It is much easier to develop good habits from day one then it is to stop bad ones that have been developing over the past five or six years.”…

    A recent study on social and emotional risk and protective factors that predict early school problems or success found that "children who do not begin kindergarten socially and emotionally competent are often not successful in the early years of school—and can be plagued by behavioral, emotional, academic, and social development problems that follow them into adulthood (U.S Department of Health and Human Services). " Creating a positive social relationship is an important outcome of preschool, possibly more important is avoiding social isolation. Research shows that it is possible to predict as early as preschool the kind of children who will have social and academic problems, because they are already either overlooked or casted off by other children. To develop positive social relationships it is important to build relationships with parents so that children feel safe, secure, and comfortable with their teachers. Provide opportunities for children to work and play together.…
