1. After page 1 of the module: Based on your teaching experience thus far, what is a challenge educators have when working with children? In 2- sentences, provide specific examples to support your answer.
Children tend to focus their attention on areas of the classroom they like and tend to only visit those areas creating a traffic jam. Students then get frustrated when they cannot be at the center they want, this tends to happen a lot with a child that has autism at my clinical location.
2. After page 2 of the module: What concept should teachers apply when setting up their classroom to meet the needs of all children? In 2-3 sentences, provide specific examples to support what this might look like?
All activities should have the ability to be altered to cater to the needs of the students. We have a cutting activity and the classroom has scissors that allow for easy cutting without finger holes, this can help children that lack developed fine motor skills. Therefore everyone can participate in a cutting exercise; all activities should be set up like this.
3. After page 3 of the module: In at least 1-2 sentences for each question( total of 4 sentences)
How do you promote play with children for disabilities?
It important to always have activities that are developmentally appropriate or can be altered to be appropriate for the child
We also need to ensure that every child has opportunities to develop and thrive, which are as good as those experienced by others. We can provide activities
1. Every child is an individual – with different needs depending on their age and abilities. This must be considered when planning activities, for example when they involve physical play, or if more consideration must be given
When children are playing it is essential that you allow them to explore their interests and ensure they have the space and time to do so. Children will be drawn to specific activities. Children will learn and develop more when they are discovering and exploring their interests as they will be more involved and willing to take part. When planning activities in a setting staff should work on activities that cover the children’s areas of interests enabling them to learn and develop
The first activity that parents can introduce to their children to help promote physical, cognitive, and social development is to give them access to toys that promote mental and physical development as they grow older. A second activity that can help promote physical development is to allow them greater independence as they grow and not stop them from taking minor risks. The third activity that can help promote both their mental and physical development is to make sure that you are communicating with them instead of just taking care of their needs. A fourth activity to help promote your children's cognitive development is to let infants and toddlers solve their own problems if the problem does not include a significant risk of harm to the

How does instructional time improve through the teaching of transition expectations in a first grade classroom?
How would major legislation related to education impact your classroom practice? Provide specific examples thereof using legislation described in the module 5 lecture notes.
I personally believe that having both a time for creative play and organized activities are both very important. I think taking the time for both are vital to the development of children. They are important for many reasons.
Should we provide our children with free time to engage in imaginative and creative play or more important to ensure that our children participate in organized activities? Well, my opinion I will ensure that my children participate in organized activities. Even though kids need to experience creative play to learn how to express themselves, become independent thinkers, and interact with peers, I believe that organized activities help children develop healthy attitudes toward themselves now and in the future.

When reflecting on the challenges that I face as a teacher, some major challenges quickly stand out. Such obstacles are overpopulated classrooms, excessive paperwork, and limited resources. Even though these challenges are the first that come to mind, they are not my biggest hurdles. The two most significant challenges to me are the restraints from time and balancing personal life and work.
I believe that children should participate in organized activities that they show interest in. Imagitive and creative play is important as well but if you pick the right activities your child can learn to be creative and more imagitive by just participating. If a kid wants to be good at something hes going to use whatever skills hes aquired to try his best.Children that dont have the freedom to choose activities based on their interest may not try to do their best because it doesnt really matter to them personally.
