8. Ethan was born on 2/25/12. He is three years and eight months old. Ethan was not very active in the time that I observed him, but they were doing a sit-down activity so that was to be expected. After everyone was sitting down at the table and had the activity explained to them, Ethan got up and ran away to the other side of the room because he did not want to participate in the activity. This is an example of a large muscle skill. The activity that Ethan was participating in was drawing…

buildings in Sendai where washed away from the earth as if they never existed. School playgrounds, parks, and my old Iwanuma apartment buildings were obliterated by the 2011 tsunami. Sections of the Route 4 road were missing and scattered comparable to Lego pieces. There were cars on top of houses and boats on top of buildings. This was caused by a form of mass wasting, known as a flow. Sadly, it proceeds inland and then returns back out to sea leaving about 2 miles of inland area resembling a…

In the fall of 2014, I observed a child who has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder; he was around the age of 13. This young boy was non-verbal but used a picture book to communicate his needs and wants with those around him. I used to work at a facility for children with special needs, and after several shifts, had begun to enjoy my time with this little dude. When I entered the facility for my shift one day I noticed how reserved and standoffish he was. I soon realized why, The…

The article by Connor, Futh, Matias, & Scott attempts to show the relationship between attachment-based parenting measures and social learning theory-based measures in determining a child’s security of attachment to their care giver and social acceptance amongst their peers. The nature of the research conducted in this article was micro and exploratory because the researchers where looking to find a relationship between the two theories and children’s attachment style and social acceptance. The…

who was almost 15 to sit in that seat! “I have been sitting in that seat for 13 hours for 14 years! No way Will!” Danny complained. Annoyed, I held my breathe and volunteered to sit in the awful seat. Will smirked and continued to flip through his lego catalogs. I rolled my eyes and shut the car door. The center console squeezed my legs together and made my back ace. I kept thinking why it took my parents so long to get to the car. After the short night sleep I was miserable. We went to…

It is the devastating reality that nearly two million people are currently living with limb loss in the United States. I am writing this proposal to the Amputee Coalition, because I believe that it is time to research cheaper prosthetics for these two million people. Your average prosthesis can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $50,000, and it isn’t fair to those already possessing a disability. I write this because I plan to work in rehabilitative engineering, and want to build prosthetics that…

for ten years. You have to have a big enough goal to attract the best people and retain them, and keep them focused (“The Widespread Impact”)”. At Stanford, we were able to work on anything we wanted, for example I built and inkjet printer out of Legos and began to create a search engine to organize the world’s information (Lashisky). With the adaptation of this philosophy into education, more people will work on ideas important to them, and more people will change the world. People want to feel…

* Learner objectives were created using blooms taxonomy. Students must predict, which is level 2 (comprehension). Students must then categorize, which falls under level 5(synthesis). ** This falls under creating an effective physical environment for students to learn in. The classroom will be prepared and organized before class starts. The arrangement of the room will already be prepared in a way that is beneficial to the students’ age. The students will be arranged in groups, which will…

Burn victims are the result of fires from a multitude of accidents. Home fires, car accidents, cooking injuries are just a few of the horrible things that can cause a child to be burned. These children often must remain in a hospital for extended periods of time. A child that receives a burn form an injury is still a child, most of which enjoy playing and fun time. Constructing a play facility to meet the needs of the children enduring treatment must be comprised with care to ensure development…

how the media is portraying the gender rolls, and they aren’t always fitting for every person. I watched a video of the cutest little girl the other day, and she was in target complaining about how everything girl was pink, and she just wanted the Legos, but they were in the “boy’s” section. I feel like recently this is more acceptable for girls to be interested in boy things because she is just a “tom boy”. When the rolls are reversed on the other hand, it seems as if people react more. There…
