Kindergarten

The Georgia Pre-K Program I remember attending preschool like it was yesterday. I went from going to a babysitter, to daycare, and then right to preschool. If I 'm correct I think I adapted pretty well to it, I adjust naturally to different environments with ease. I made a lot of friends and never had a hard time being there. My two teachers threw each student a birthday party, we as well went on numerous field trips, and many enjoyable activities I remember fondly. Those were much simpler…

The general concepts of the field of early childhood is to help children learn the skills they need, in order to succeed later in their educational career. Several programs have been established to help with this concept. There are several programs for children starting at birth, and continuing until the child is 5 years old. Programs continue for children ages 5 through 8 years old as well. The programs that have been put in place have made a difference in the educational success for the…

One of the most important decisions a person can make is the choice of a career path. As early as kindergarten, adults will ask children what they want to be when they grow up. At the age of six, I thought I could grow up to be just like Carrie Underwood; obviously, that was a bit unrealistic, but this demonstrates the importance of the decision and the difficulty in selecting the best career path for the future. The probability of becoming an exact replica of the country singer was minute, so,…

I believe I was able to learn a lot about the needs of a kindergarten students, by completing this observation. I realized that in a kindergarten classroom the main priorities are to make sure that everyone is involved and following the rules of school. Following directions was a huge part of the instruction in this grade level since this is when they learn how they have to act in a school. I never fully realized how difficult kindergarten could be to teach since there is not that much content…

The Placement: For my week of work experience I went to a private kinder garden called “Montessori Early Education Centre”, were the children are taught the Montessori method of learning which includes developing their natural interests and activities rather than using formal teaching methods. Its a program that begun in 1907 in Italy, but now has 20,000 schools world wide. My role for the week was being a teacher along side two others, for a class of about 25 pre-school student and assisting…

Saying that I was a hugger is an understatement. I still am to this day. At daycare, I spent most of my time in the toddler classroom, which allowed me to play with my same-age peers. At home, I played with my neighbor Kaelin, a little girl that was three years older than me, and whom ended up impacting not only my childhood, but my entire life. Kaelin had more of a take charge, strong, personality, whereas I was an easy going, laid back child. When we played, Kaelin was very patient with…

of success. I certainly cannot make generalizations of the school itself as I witnessed only one morning in the pre-K classroom. However, it is significant that pre-K is a vital age for many skills to be taught, and that if students advance to Kindergarten behind their peers, they are much more likely to remain and fall further behind their peers rather than advance. It was difficult to see in the classroom setting, riddled with boredom and disciplinary issues, how the classroom was effectively…
