When Ms. Keller draws a picture and the kids copy it this supports Jean Piaget’s idea that solving problems by preluding and imitating helps children learn.

During the morning routine, they children point to shapes and say the names of them. This supports Sternberg’s theory of analytical intelligence, and being able to recall, recognize and analyze pictures or in this case shapes. Kindergarteners tend to be very energetic and vigorous, depicting Erik Erikson’s stage 3 saying that children are bundles of energy. Lev Vygotsky said that the more students interact with other people, the more they will learn. The children in Ms. Keller’s classroom interact with many different teachers/people including Ms. Keller, Me, and other teachers.
