My overall experience at Pine Meadow Elementary school was great. I got to meet many new kids in Ms. Uran’s 3rd grade classroom. These 3rd graders are 8 or 9 years old. Ms. Uran’s classroom was a very normal or average sized room. To get to her classroom you take the first main hall to the left. That’s the one closest to the office. After that hallway you take the next right at the first hallway. Ms. Uran’s door is the second to the left. Inside this classroom I would help the kids with their worksheets if they need help. They also worked on vocabulary and grammar. Sometimes I would grade papers in the back of the room. there is two windows, a sink, and a Ipad charging station. The desks are put into groups ranging from two to five desks per …show more content…

All the 3rd graders read as much as they can, and then take AR tests. Depending on the amount of AR points they have they can add items to their dragon masks. Skinner states that if a behavior isn’t reinforced as much it’s less likely to keep happening. When the kids read with me and they start talking to their friends they keep getting off track. Howard Gardner states that a person who is musical performs, composes, and appreciates musical patterns. Kiera loves singing and humming. She will humm when she working on homework or something.

    Development is always a major factor in children with intellectual or behavior issues. One test that is dynamic to this factor is the Profile of Creative Capabilities (PCA). The Profile of Creative Capabilities (PCA) includes two subtests (Drawing and Groups) and 2 rating scales (a house along with a School form) which are purported to measure 'creative capabilities, domain-relevant abilities, creativeness-relevant abilities, and intrinsic task motivation of scholars between your age range of 5- and 14-11' (examiner's manual, p. 5).

  • Early Childhood Creativity Essay

    1441 Words  | 3 Pages

    At the turn of the century, and more recently, problem solving took first place along with creative thinking (Gruber, 2011). This essay will prove that the current education system tends to eventually pull children away from creativity. It will demonstrate how there is a greater amount of creativity in younger children as opposed to older children. This will be shown through the theories of Howard Gardner and Jean Piaget. In order to prove that education has moved away from a creative focus, this essay will examine the three phases of creativity, multiple intelligences and the U-shaped curve by Gardner, as well as Piaget’s constructivist theory and beliefs on retrogression, which is the idea of growing to show how we eventually pull away from visual art (Nolley, 2010).

    Before learning about early childhood in this class I never realized all the way children at such a young age are developing. From the second part of this course I learned how much children are developing at the early childhood stage. I never realized children learn how about their emotions, having empathy, and self-concept at such a young age. I thought children had it easy. They play with friends, start school, and just be kids. One important thing that stood out to me in this chapter is that children’s self-esteem starts at this stage. According to Berk (2012), “self-esteem is the judgments we make about our own worth and the feelings associated with those judgments (p. 366)”. Self-esteem is very important for a child to have and it can

  • Essay On Creative Arts

    1483 Words  | 3 Pages

    Creative Arts in early childhood education refers to children’s participation in a variety of activities that engage their minds, bodies and senses (Sinclair, Jeanneret & O’Toole, 2012; Kearns, 2017); to inspire all children with the opportunity for creative and imaginative expression. Duffy (2006) and Sinclair et al. (2012) state that creativity is the process where children use their imagination to problem solve, develop new ideas, independence and flexibility to accomplish tasks. Furthermore, when educators foster creativity, they are assisting children in making meaning through play and developing their growing capacity to communicate, collaborate and think critically to meet the demands of life in the 21st century (Duffy, 2006; Korn-Bursztyn, 2012; Sinclair et al., 2012).

    Anyone who takes the time to learn, and especially to acquire diverse knowledge, can express great creativity. As said by Vern Burkhardt, “The mythical views that we have about creativity and genius are almost impossible to reconcile with the scientific method” (Burkhardt). In other words, this quote is saying that no science is able to backup that creativity is linked to a higher IQ. So, all in all, anyone who applies themselves to a topic or field can be creative in that matter. You don 't have to be a registered genius to be

    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.

    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.
