Based on my observation, I believe Mrs. Laura was the expertise and Mrs. Jan was the novice. Mrs. Laura was able to think in a larger, more meaningful pattern. When it came to teaching reading, Mrs. Laura was able to take the book and create different activities for the children to learn. She made it fun for the children to learn. When she created the different activities, she was able to target different goals such as spelling.…
When I was pregnant with all my children I would be filled with anticipation with what will they look like and who will they be with they grow up. But the sad part of this anticipation is wishing past every stage of their development to see the adult they will become. I often wonder if my mom thought the same things when she was pregnant with me and I wonder if she likes what she sees now that I am an…
Observation: Rise Program Physical Setting Rise is a beautiful facility. All of the windows looking into the classrooms and looking outside are my favorite because they provide light, openness, and a sense of connection throughout the whole building. The commons is also a great area. It is large and open for all of the kids to spread out and explore their surroundings, while engaging in gross motor activities, such as going down a slide, riding a tricycle, or jumping on a trampoline.…
It is important to evaluate whether or not the EYPP is making a difference to the children who need it the most. In the early years observations take place to assess where a child currently is working within according to the EYFS. This is where a good relationship between the setting and family would make a difference. A knowledgeable key person will know their key child’s starting points and will be able to track their progress through their assessments. In May 2015 OFSTED began including children receiving EYPP in their inspections.…
Introduction: Child development involves emotional, physical, sociable, and intellect changes over a period from conception through adolescence. Childhood is a multifaceted process in which many changes occur. To fully understand the changes throughout childhood, one interview and observation was conducted to a toddler perspective, and a second interview and observation was implemented on a school-age child. Vast changes arise from infancy and toddlerhood, jumping to later childhood, and that was deceptive when comparing the outcomes from the two observations. Alex, who is eight years old, was the topic of the school-age child interview and observation.…

Naturalistic Observation of Becoming a Toddler Although I 'm not a mother who notice every bruise after every fall, I am a sister who noticed every developmental factor about her two year old brother. It 's not just about the first words or the first step that 's make every moment so special, more so why he talks in increments? or why he walks like a penguin? Toddlers are very unique when it comes to their learning styles.…
My field work experience had started in the preschool and where I have done the majority of my observations thus far. In the preschool I was beginning to understand how the different of components of the preschool all had concepts of phycology through all aspects of the classroom. During my time I saw how Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, how students handled new information through various methods, and Vygotsky’s sociocultural perspective are incorporated through different sections of the classroom. The classroom was based that learning should not be a structured experience, but learning should be developed through play and exploration.…
Preschool Observation Observations are a way for future teachers to discover techniques and to prepare them for when they receive their own classroom. For my observation, I choose First United Methodist Preschool. The classroom I visited consisted of fourteen students, a lead teacher, and a co teacher who provided support in guidance and instruction for the students. • The atmosphere of the classroom was both fun and functional.…
One male child kept to himself most of the time. I found out later that he was new to the toddler room from the infant area. He was still adjusting. The ratio of teacher to child is 1 to 4.…
Things I expected my freshman year of high school: soccer preseason, drama, boyfriends, new teachers. Things I did not expect my freshman year of high school: algebra one being so easy and almost losing my sister. There are a lot of things children don’t consider when they think of growing up. They think of driving cars, going to college, voting, and getting married. but they don’t consider the emotional changes.…

The preschool classroom that I visited consisted of three teachers and thirty children, ages three and four years old. The type of program at The Early Education Center is what I call a “traditional” preschool.…

S has been a little whinny because she did not want mom to leave this morning. Mrs. T says, “but she got over it and was happy now and in a good mood.”…
There is a marked distinction in the cognitive skills and the reasoning ability of the children interviewed. The younger child which was 6 years old could not understand that the whole pizza whether cut in four or eight pieces was the same whole. He believed that the more pieces you have the bigger the pizza. He does not have the ability to think logically and perception is priority in preference to logic. Egged and Kauchak (2016) states, “perception dominates children;s thinking in this stage” (p. 50).…
For my observation paper I visited Hilltop Child Development Center and spent an hour in a preschool classroom. The children were having free time when I arrived. Some were flipping through picture books, others were doing crafts, and one particular boy, was playing with dinosaurs. This boy’s name was Ben and I decided to focus my attention on him. Throughout this hour I took note on his level of social, emotional, and physical development in order to determine his chronological age.…
