Recommended: Stages in child development

Chapter four introduced the different developments preschoolers are experiencing and how to adapt teaching to each development. For example, it said that because toddlers are undergoing lots of physical development a majority of their day needs to be active learning. The different developments chapter four talked about were physical development, social and emotional development, cognitive development, and language and literacy development. I agree that teachers need to use these developments to teach the children. What is the point of teaching if nothing is getting through? When teachers use the children’s weaknesses and strengths to teach they are going into the child’s world and by doing so can give that child a better understanding of the

  • Summary Chapter 2

    In Chapter 2 of Children’s Books in Children’s Hands: A Brief Introduction to their Literature, the authors talk about the 12 main elements of a literary work: genre, plot, setting, characterization, theme, point of view, intersexuality, tone, mood, style, voice, and the stance of the implied reader (Temple, Martinez, and Yokota 24). All of these literary elements capture the reader’s imagination and creates a successful piece of literature.

    In the picture book don't think about purple elephants, Gwyneth Jones the illustrator uses different artistic qualities to assist with deeper understanding and emotion within the text. She uses elements mentioned in Children illustrations including color, texture and perspective. When Susie is playing throughout the day and on weekends the colors are bright but soft including blue, purple, green and yellow. The text moves forward to mention her anxieties when she goes to bed. The perspective of the illustrator switches from neutral to above her looking down. I see this as the illustrator conveying her emotions making it feel empty and vacant. The colors then stop completely and all the pages explaining her anxiety are only colored in grey. The only color objects are

    I gave birth to a healthy, beautiful baby girl named Luna. Jeffrey has taken quite a liking to being a big brother. He likes to hold and rocker her and helps with feeding her. Jeffrey is still a slow-to warm child. He can communicate fairly well and is now using mostly complete sentences and seems to understand most of what I say. He occasionally makes errors of overregularization. He has taken an interest in music and singsongs even though he usually repeats a certain part a lot. I encourage this by taking him to local performances of children’s musicals. Jeffrey has learned the routines pretty well and is reasonably cooperative for his age. He is rarely aggressive to adults or other children. Jeffrey’s fantasy play has become more elaborate and sometimes includes superheroes or cartoon

  • Reflection On Child Development

    They study child development for numerous reasons. To reiterate, “child development is defined as an area of study devoted to understanding constancy and change from conception through adolescence,” (Berk & Meyer, 2016, p.4). It is critical for teachers, especially for early childhood educators, to have extensive knowledge of child development since they work directly with many young children throughout their careers. No two children are the same and it is critical to understand each stage and milestone that a child will experience. The importance of studying child development dates all the way back to the early twentieth century when public education first began. Teachers were shown the need for understanding how to properly teach different ages of children. The importance of child development began at this time and is now a course requirement in college for all students pursuing a career in

    The child is a complex creature and, as such, has many needs that need to be met. Some of these essentials center on physical needs, whereas others involve emotional necessities. Over the course of the semester, I have encountered many interesting theories of child development, as well as numerous ways to create a classroom that is a center of learning—so many, in fact that it has been quite challenging trying to narrow the important takeaways down to only seven. However, it seems as though there are a few overarching themes that are essential to remember, and I will outline them below.

  • Early Childhood Education: Kindergarten Reflection

    Entering my kindergarten teaching experience in the last quarter of school year I had to quickly become familiar with kindergarten content standards and the school’s curriculum. To do this I observed my mentor teachers instructional time with the children and gained as much information as I could about the children’s educational standing by developing a professional relationship with the my mentor teacher and the children. I learned that the majority of my kindergarten children had not previously attended preschool and that this was their first year of school. I found that interacting with the children in social activities provided me with great insight to their literacy, math, science, and social studies development. In reviewing the children’s class projects, school displays, and an array of their work sample along with my mentor teachers year-long assessments I was able to recognize challenging, emerging and advanced content areas of the children’s core curriculum. These emerging and challenging content areas is what I centered my curriculum planning around. “Information about each child’s learning and development is used to evaluate teaching effectiveness. This may lead to changes in schedule, curriculum and teaching strategies, room set up, resources, and so on.” (Bredekamp and Copple, p. 249)
