Observation Of A Child Study Center

Hi everyone, I am observing on Wednesdays from 8-10 and Fridays 3-4 in Cuesta Children’s Center Preschool 2. I believe a child’s environment can affect their mood, social skills, ability to learn, mental health, and physical health. These essential elements need to be meet or it will affect their adult lives. I feel the Cuesta Center does a remarkable job of offering all of these, and has wonderful transitions throughout the day. I enjoy observing the teachers modeling acceptable class room behaviors, asking open-ended questions while using descriptive language to help to expand children’s speech, and they were engaged in the children’s presents. I was engrossed with how the class offers multiple opportunities for children to broaden their

Joy Harjo’s “Remember” seems at first to be a simple plea from an unidentified speaker that the listener (standing in for all people) “remember.” “Remember you are this universe and this / universe is you” (lines 21-22), says the speaker. Throughout the poem, the speaker tells the listener to remember sixteen times; “remember” is an anaphora, a repetitive command by the speaker that seems to indicate that “remembering” is what the poem is about. Look deeper, though, and the poem seems to be about the interconnectedness of all things, and understanding that people, nature (plants and animals), the earth and sky, and the universe are all connected and related to each other. Look even deeper, though, and the essence of the poem becomes obvious:

He walks to the stairs and he lies on green pillow and tells to another kid, “Let’s play, drama play.” He touches his right leg shoe with right hand. He removes same shoe with right hand by pulling Velcro with the same hand. He throws some dust out of his right shoe with his left hand. He puts on right leg shoe, with right hand. He closes Velcro with right hand. Aaron’s adult tells everyone “cleanup”. He picks up red car from the floor, which is front of him and puts the red car in the basket on the table. He picks up green monster truck from the floor and puts the monster truck in the same basket. He picks up plastic camel from the floor and put in the basket on one shelf, which is right in front of him. He picks up rubric cube from the floor and puts it in one plastic box, which is open on the third table. He closes the lid of that plastic box and puts the box away in the shelf. He picks up one green car from the floor and puts it in the basket. He picks up one peace of puzzle and sets it in the puzzle frame, which is lying on the floor. He picks up another peace from the floor and joins in the puzzle. He picks up another peace from the floor and attaches it into the puzzle. He tells, “I am done, with the clean up.” He walks towards the dining area of his classroom. He looks at the adult, (wasn’t able to identify whether she was a volunteer) who calls everyone, “snack time.” The adult smiles and says, “Aaron, would you like to eat yogurt and peaches? Wash

I came towards the end of their summer program so classes had pretty much been wrapped up and we just played games from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. This specific location has about 200 participants ranging in age from 6 to 15. I was extremely intimidated walking into a room full of so many hyper kids, but quickly learned to embrace them for who they are. Each child had a different story, and while I wasn’t able to interact with every single one, there are a few that stuck out to me.

There was some children playing in the water table and some were in the art stand. One of the girl vat the water-table watch over to the art table and said can I color with you. This girl was able to express her feelings to her friend. There was this child that pointed to everything he wanted and tried to say what he wanted. The little girl enjoys socializing with the parents, teacher, and the visitors to the school. As the teacher read one of the big books to the children she had a big brown long stick and pointed to the words as she turned the pages. The person that I interview was Amna Jones who has been working in the toddler classroom for about two years. The organization that they partnership with is Prevention Initiative and Chicago public School. We also have head start in the 3-5 year old room. She said they only been with the programs for one year now and it is going good. The program/facility learn about positive play by talking with the families. They have a Family Support Specialist and an Infant Toddler Specialist. It is the family support specialist job to talk to the families and find out positive ways to help their child/children grow and

When teacher asking him where he got he just show the direction with right hand and again started to play alone. This is example of solitary play.

There has many pictures they put in the wall for the children and their family every child has a pictures on his or her cabinet.

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on 1/6/2016. I arrived at the operation which is located at 3422 Richmond Rd, Texarkana about 12:57 pm. I was greeted by Comekia Island, the person in charge while director was at lunch. I handed her business card and then explained the purpose of my inspection and reviewed the subchapters I would be observing. Roshonda Epps the director arrived approximately a hour later. When Epps arrived I handed her business card and then explained the purpose of my inspection and reviewed the subchapters I would be observing.

In the preschool, snacks for the children are provided 'buffet style' in an open kitchen area furnished with two connecting child-size picnic tables. Snacks and juice are accessible to the children in this area for a 45-minute period followed by free play time. Children are free to sit with one another as they please.

I observed the preschool classroom of Ms. K. Today was a smaller group, as several children are on vacation. This is a new facility and just the host teacher was in there at this time. I came into the classroom at 8:00 and left at 9:00. I spoke with the host teacher before and after the observation for feedback, which I felt was beneficial to both her and me. I observed the children during inside for 20 minutes. I observed the children during outside play for 40 minutes.

Classrooms environments are very important at the time of learning. According to our textbook, the environment is viewed as an established behavioral place that forms how we act and behave (Vukelich & Christie, 2016). The environment in the classroom I visited was adequate for learning because it has all the things a preschool classroom has to have according to the textbook. The classroom has a bulleting board, a dramatic play center, a writing center, tables for manipulative and games, whole group meeting area, a computer area and an art area. There was also on a wall a picture of every single child with his and her names. My visit was from 10:30 to 12:30. When I first arrived, children were in a transition from one activity to another. The next activity was to watch an ABC phonics video. All the children knew what they have to do. They had to sit nicely and quiet on the floor. Every single child knew how to sit. They crossed their legs and put their hands in their laps. When the teacher saw that all the children were sitting properly, she assumed that they were ready to learn. During this activity I observed that Matthew and Jose were not engaged with this activity because they were looking to other children instead to look to the screen. For the next activity the children had to take a tablet from a cabinet. I was surprise because every single child knew the number of the tablet they have to take. Later I noticed that it was because in the classroom every child has a

This week I had the opportunity to fulfill my practicum hours at two different locations. The locations that I observed were Columbia Elementary School’s summer care program and a Mad City Money Event located at Members 1st Credit Union. Both experiences opened my eyes to see a wide range of situations and behaviors among kindergarten through high school. Each observation provided two very different outlooks and each contributed to my knowledge in some way.

In the following report we will examine all of the elements of a Kindergarten classroom that I observed in Miss. Phillips classroom. I will cover over the school, the student’s participation, and the teacher’s overall. I will also include a Building report card. I will discuss how much the experience had an impact on me.
