My two choices from “How to Talk to Kids” was to help children deal with their feelings by listening quietly with my full attention and to help children deal with their feelings by giving their feelings a name by using phrases such as; "That sounds frustration" or "You sound really angry". The mind of a first grader, filled with stories of what they didn’t get to do, to the list of things they wanted for their birthday, and dealing with the emotional turmoil of getting in trouble at lunch recess. They have million things to tell me, but I only have three minutes to give them my ear. When I try to implement give them my full attention, it was lot harder than I could ever imagine. I will have two or three kids trying to tell me something, with them all chiming in at the same time! I really try to give them at least two minutes of my time, but even that was quite difficult. First graders really have to take time to think and formulate their responses, so this can add extra time that may not be available. So how did I do with giving them my full attention, some days were better than others. …show more content…

As I have explained in the beginning of this reflection, the first ten minutes of the children arrival, my students came running trying to tell me something. I had to stop them so they would not talk all over each other. I picked one student to speak first, and that took two minutes, and by time I got to the second one that bell rang and everyone had to stand for the pledge of allegiance, which stop any communication I could have with students till after calendar and language arts. I thought the students who did not get to speak, would remember what they wanted to tell me and we can speak again at morning

  • The Process of Language Acquisition in Childhood

    2939 Words  | 6 Pages

    Children encompass the ability to learn whichever language system they are introduced to, therefore a newborn would learn the fictional Klingon language (Hoff, 2006). Klingon is not a natural language such as English or Spanish, and does not adhere to all the rules of a natural language. Due to this issue, the child would encounter problems in saying everyday terms in Klingon. Also, since Klingon is a fictional language and not spoken in society the child would not be able to communicate with others, which may cause the child to reject this fictional language. This rejection may be related to the lack of acceptance of this fictional language in society. This could constrain the child’s ability to learn a new language in which he/she can actively communicate with the people around him/her therefore, I would not advise a mother to teach her child Klingon, even though the child has the ability to learn the fictional language.

    Such as, if Brayden and another little boy are not listening during transition I could separate them rather than giving them multiple warnings. Also, if I know that Roslyn is having a hard time controlling her anger appropriately then I could give her an “angry ball” or something that she can squeeze or take her anger out on rather than her hurting others. While for Fiona, we could talk about feelings one day during circle time and possibly figure out why she is feeling the way she is feeling. Due to the fact that everyone learns differently teachers need to be aware that not all children learn the same way as them. Teachers could possibly change the way they do activities such as, doing some hands on, watching videos, reading books, or even asking one child a day how they would like to learn about the theme of the

    I completed my final observation on October 15 at the UTC Children’s Center at Battle Academy. When I arrived to my classroom, the students were on a field trip so I quickly went down to the fire hall on Main Street to meet up with the class. At the fire hall, parents, as well as the two teachers accompanied the students. The students arrived back in their classroom around 11:10, and that is when the parents left. After the field trip the children ate lunch in the cafeteria, had a brief lesson in the classroom, and played outside. The class I observed was preschool, with most children around 3 to 4 years old. All the children seemed to be developing normally. There were 7 boys and 3 girls present in the classroom.

    Connor’s language development was very similar to his peers being they spoke in clear, short sentences, usually as statements, like “I want more cheese” or “yes, please”. Vygotsky says that around the age of three or four, children use the language they established to categorize their thoughts in social situations (Steinberg et al., 2011, p. 209). According to Vygotsky, Connor language skills are normative for his age and gender, when he said “read me a story” he had to organize his thoughts and decipher what he wanted then articulate them to the adult. As far as nonverbal communication, he made eye contact with the teacher when he asked her to read him a story and he sat upright in his chair showing that he was interested and attentive.

  • Second Language Acquisition in Childhood

    1204 Words  | 3 Pages

    Children acquire their native language, which fall within a wide range of languages, at a very early stage of development. During development, a child begins to show signs of verbal communication, usually starting out as cooing, babbling, recognizable words, and later two or more word sentences. This occurrence is also seen in the development of second languages. Second language acquisition is the study of how second languages are typically developed. The process of acquiring our native language is very similar and influential to the development of a second language. The development of a second language has become increasingly popular throughout the world. Today more people are growing up with appropriate resources to acquire a second language, which can be seen from the vast numbers of bilingual individuals.
