The Early learning lab is part of the FACS 304 course that allows college students to learn and understand the teaching process within a classroom setting. The lab allows students the opportunity to bond with children and observe the emerging developmental skills that children are acquiring during Early Childhood.

I was able to connect with many of the children and learn different types of teaching strategies through Mrs. Dana and Mrs. P. I enjoyed seeing that the children responded better to instructions when rhythm was added. I enjoyed being around the children and getting to know each one of them on an individual level. This semester we had joyful thoughts all throughout the
