Early Childhood
For my early childhood education observation, I visited Kansas City Kansas Early Childhood Center. KCKECC serves about 650 students ages 3,4, and 5. School is in session Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. There are both morning and afternoon sessions. I really enjoyed my time spent here.

While at Mark Twain, I observed an EBD classroom, as well as a pull-out resource room. The EBD room provided students with support in-between going to specials and their general education classes.

This is kept track of on a daily basis using a point sheet that includes their personal goals. In order to receive the points, students are asked to rate themselves on certain tasks. For example, they are asked if they have been safe or if they have done what the teacher asked. This classroom serves students 1st-5th grades. All students have math, writing, and reading goals posted at all times, therefore any para or special education teacher can work with students on their goals. One of the strategies I witnessed during my observation, was the use of relatable math. Students were given a relatable scenario (prices of McDonalds foods) and asked to solve
