An entire week before thursday rolled around so that i could go back to the ASL table with my Gardner-Webb people. I found Lian and was glad that she came to the table tonight. She was sitting with Rian and they allowed me to join them. I asked Rian what she had been up to because I had seen very little of her in the past two weeks and she told me that she was working on the set for the Little shop of Horrors production on the following week. While she was explaining her role in helping with the set, I noticed that she used classifiers to explain how the set was assembled and how she painted it. After she discussed her job painting the set, i asked her what her plans were for next year, and she said graduate school. I informed her that I was
The most popular method for educators at the centre to build on children’s comments and conversations is by talking with them, particularly by talking through processes or experiences as they are happening. With infants this process of talking through experiences and processes seems more like narration. Spending time in the infant room feels solidary as I talk to myself for most of the day, however it is important to remind myself that the child is learning through my one-sided conversations. Baby’s language develops socially, they listen to those speaking around them and then begin to internalise the words that are high frequency (Clarke, 2004). As they develop their vocabulary grows as they build their repertoire through socialisation. Research
On Friday, April first I will be attending Selu, and leading the living room. Selu is an old farmhouse that was restored to show off history in an interactive and hands on kind of way. For this Selu event, I will be in the living room, where the focus is on the radio, the sewing machine and the casual presence of a bed. At this presentation I will do my best to fill the minutes with factual and interesting information that is related to the beautiful farm home. I am looking forward to also meeting a bunch of fifth graders and gaining more experience by volunteering and entertaining the students in an educational way.
Toddlers are the epitome of curiosity and energy. From ages 1 – 3, toddlers are always on the go and want to learn about everything in their world. As with infants, no two are alike; each toddler is unique in his or her developmental stages, and each accomplishes milestones at different times. “Although children develop at different rates, there are common stages of development that serve as guidelines for what most children can do by a certain age” (Groark, McCarthy & Kirk, 2014). As seen in the hatfieldmomof3 (2011) video, one observes toddlers at play and can determine the age of the toddlers by their actions and the milestones they have accomplished.
Izadi-Najafabadi et al (2015), journal’s the purpose was to determine if whether or not, ASD children could learn a motor skill both implicitly and explicitly. this study, had children that range from ages 7-11 years and had attend at public elementary school. Prior to experimentation, the children with ASD were diagnosed based on medical examinations and autism spectrum disorder screening. Also, in this study there were a total of thirty boys diagnosed with ASD, aged 7-11 with an IQ average of 81.2, who were compared with 32 typical IQ and age-matched boys on their performance on a serial reaction time task (SRTT). In both groups of boys were divided into equal groups of implicit and explicit motor learning. Each group were matched by their
My hypothesis was to determine the effects of maternal presence versus absence on sibling behavior.
For this project, I chose to go to a concert with my parents at a bar they regularly attend. I chose this because I was interested in what they do on their nights out and they needed a designated driver. I borrowed a pair of boots from my mom and was set to boot-scoot and boogie.
Lia is a tall slender young woman whom all the boy’s are crazy for. She has long blonde hair, blue eyes, and has the perfect complexion. Lia is honest because “ she had never told a lie in her life, say’s Becca”.

The location of the observation was at the Community Center (Early Childhood education program) at 11:00am to 12:30pm on April 15, 2014. The meaningful experiences in early childhood education can positively shape children's development. With a teacher is guidance authentic child-art activity can educate enrich young students' learning abilities, encourage positive attitudes toward other children, and more importantly, learn to interact with people around them in the contemporary world. However, art for young students often takes many diversified approaches and emphasizing questionable practices. Observation is a part of meaningful and authentic early childhood art education. Observation enriches children’s experiences in their environment, gives them motivation to study, interact with other children and follow the practices of their adult models. Moreover, they develop strategies and skills to represent objects in their environment.
When I arrived I observed Jamia Robinson and Janiyah Moton standing outside the Career employment professions building. Jamia was crying keep making fist with his hands by his side not towards not directed towards any one. Janiyah was pregnant and holding their baby and looked upset. I could see scrapes on Janiyah arm, they were not bleeding, she stated she got them when she tripped.
Recently, I went to The Happy School, a preschool in my hometown of Smallville, California, to pass the morning with the students there. In the time I spent there, the children, ages 3 to 5, engaged in unstructured play, and sat in a circle for calendar time and reading aloud. The preschool is primarily child-centered in terms of its organization, meaning it incorporates a lot of child directed activity, and less structured, or adult directed, learning (Berk, 2008). I watched the group of about twenty children with the intention of studying them as a whole, but I found myself compelled to watch two children in particular, Addison and Jack, because they displayed particularly intriguing behavior. (p187) THESIS, what behavior, theories etc.
My observation is in a diverse title I class which allowed for me to experience and gain knowledge not only on ELL students but as well as special education. My interview consisted of a preschool and second grade classroom which help me understand the different milestones and differentiated instruction. When having a language barrier teachers need to not only know their students but check that the student is understanding the lesson. Instead of just asking questions that can make the student feel uncomfortable or different is by planning ahead and having activities where all students participate and answer (Herrell, 2015). When having everyone answer it helps students who don’t like to participate to feel comfortable when it’s their turn to
Everyone has their own, personal place to have alone time and clear their heads. For me, that place is my bedroom in my apartment. My room is the one place where I feel most nostalgic and comfortable; its’ a comfort that can’t be replaced. My bedroom is my favorite room in my apartment because I always have my privacy there, and I feel like it shows my personal style, which I love.
The school that I visited was new. It was the first year of the school opening. The school board had combined two schools into one, so the students had to adjust to their new environments and new individuals. They seemed to be getting along well with each other. Since the school is new the teacher has to adjust to new problems that araise. Times for the subjects and times for using the computer labs change. So the teacher must always be fixable for anything. In this observation of this classroom I learned about the enjoyment of teaching. How you have to adapt to each of the students.
I then asked if she went on a course to help learn new skills and did
The students that I observed in the classroom were of middle to high school. I went to see 8th, freshman, 10th , and seniors classes, they seemed excited and very curious to why I was there. The middle school was more alive and rambunctious while I observed them. The High school kids were more relaxed, more comical. Some were paying attention while others seemed tuned out to the lecture or involved in socialization with friends within the class. By the end of the class Mr. Hasgil had restored the attention of everyone by using tactics such as history jeopardy with candy as the prize with the high school kids. In both he middle school and high school the kids were mostly Caucasian with a mixture of black, Asian , and Hispanic in the classes.
