Teaching My career of choice was teaching and I picked kindergarten. I have a love for smaller kids and enjoy teaching them new things. One pro would be watching them grow and learn and to see the excitement they have when they complete and accomplish a complicated task. Another thing that I felt was great about this career was that you can use your own creativity to teach different things so if they are not getting the concept one way I can change it up and help them better understand it in a…
because of it. They have understanding that the world is full of all different people, cultures and religions and explain this to the children not focusing on only one type of religion. “ Preschool and kindergarten children learn primarily through imitation and imagination. The goal of the kindergarten is to develop a sense of wonder in the young child and reverence of all living things. This creates an eagerness for the academics that follow in the grades. Preschool…
rule is lifted and eating is approved, the child will happily comply. But if the same teacher says it's also O.K. to push another student off a chair, the child hesitates.” (Kluger, Jeffrey). This relates to how Laurie was not respectful to his kindergarten class, but young children do not have the best judgement. Laurie is rated the least evil because he does not show harmful qualities against humanity, like many others. He displayed troubling actions as a kindergartener, but is not most…

When she was growing up she lived with her parents, her bothers, her grandparents, Ron and Linda Hautamaki, in Goodrich MI. She attended kindergarten at Reid elementary in Goodrich.

The Hager name originated from Germany ancestors. The Germans had problems in their homeland which caused them to emigrate to America. Many came looking for jobs, land, and a new life. Numerous lives were taking from starvation and many struggled with poverty. Germans were the largest part of the immigrants that moved over to the U.S. They have brought activities and traditions that Americans use all the time. Germans migrated over to this country for multiple reasons. The early settlements…
all in charge of the three largest buildings in the school district, too. Similarly, each building houses nearly the same number of students; however, they are vastly unique in their own way. Facilitating observation of all grade bands – pre-kindergarten through twelfth-grade, this project provided invaluable insights across the strata of public education. Beginning with middle school, proceeding with elementary, and concluding with high school, it was a progressive change conducted one…
Kindergarten social hierarchies were determined using a modification of a naturalistic behavioral observation method developed to assess individual dominance positions in preschool classrooms (Strayer & Trudel, 1984). Classroom interactions were observed during the winter months of the kindergarten year (prior to the spring assessment of externalizing symptoms) during structured, semi structured, and free play activities. Social dominance was operationally defined as a pattern of repeated…
More to Physical Activity than Obesity People either go to school or work, and then try to use that as an excuse to not being physically active. Some of them daydream about getting home and spending the rest of their days sitting on a couch watching television, sleeping, listening to music, or eating. They do not think of going to the gym,playing any sport, or anything that has to do with movement. When discussing the topic exercise with other people most of them tend to correlate physical…
For my chosen assignment I am asked to analyse and give an evaluation on two profound educational theorists Maria Montessori and Fredrick Froebel, who have paved the way for future theorists to come. They have left a remarkable in-depth knowledge of childhood development. Throughout the assignment I am asked to discuss the philosophy of each theorist as well as their contribution to early childhood education, while lastly referring to my own personal beliefs of each theorist either criticising…
community and centre. Arthur et al. (2012) mentioned that If community or teamwork is valued, then actively encouraging others to contribute to the philosophy is important. By participating in the philosophy development, all members of the York Street Kindergarten are more likely to understand and be committed to the philosophy and to put it into…
