10 Hour Observation

Cassidy's school days never went smoothly. One day, her teacher Ms. Cindy told the class to get yellow sheets of paper so they could draw for the class lesson. Cassidy went to

For this assignment the task is to plan a successful trip to either a ‘castle’ or the ‘woods.’ Throughout the module it has been about discussing how children learn and most importantly where. Learning is defined only in the classroom, children learn every second of every day regardless in and out of the classroom. Every individual is unique and each child has different learning styles, some are able to learn at a desk whilst others learn through doing, it is a teacher’s job to know of these styles in order for a child to succeed. “Individual children have different learning styles or preferred ways of interacting with the environment. When learning styles are taken into account learning can be enhanced..” [DCELLS ii 2008:10]

A high quality learning environment should have enough (indoor) space for children to explore their interest and supportive adults to engage them to regulate their feelings and behaviors in it. I will be assessing the “Indoor space” from the Space and Furnishings subscale section of ECERS-3 to rate an early childhood education environment. This playful learning environment is located in Discovery bay and it is named Nolan Kindergarten and Nursery School. I choose to focus a 5-6 years old children’s classroom which has two different areas namely dramatic pretend play and reading. In this essay, I will pinpoint the indoor space with reference to ECERS-3 and assess the selected venue pictures to elaborate whether it supports child development.

University of Phoenix Material Classroom Misbehavior Worksheet Complete the tables in relation to discipline and misbehavior. Table 1 ? Locate at least three school codes of conduct to identify common discipline issues. You may use the Internet to find examples. ? Choose and list at least 10 discipline issues you think most closely pertain to your situation. ? List the sources for the codes of conduct. You might use the completed list as a job aid as you develop a discipline plan.

This is a big problem when teachers don’t put attention to children. Instead of teaching them how to use self control we are creating negative behavior, because we as teacher are not telling the child how to solve an argument. A good guidance is to know how to talk and explain the entire class that respect it is important and we should give to others. Repeat the rules over and over again it is important and helpful for the children to not to forget about them, and everybody in the class is supposed to followed them.

One of the many forms of discipline is positive discipline. Witch focuses more on encouraging the child instead of focusing on the punishment. "A parent using positive discipline might sit down with the child and say, “I know your teacher wants you to get your math paper done tonight and you don’t want to do it. What can we do to get that paper done so you’ll be able to show Mrs. Smith that you got all your homework done on time?” (Morin 1). Another form of discipline is setting boundaries for your children. Clearly stating the consequences to the child. “You won’t be able to use any of your electronics tonight until your work is done.” (Morin 1). Behavior Modification is another disciplinarian action which focuses on consequences reinforces with praise. “Remember, once you get your homework done, you get to use the computer for 30 minutes.” Praise would be offered if the child chooses to comply. The parent would ignore any protests." (Morin 1). All of these forms of

6). Educators need to have a trusting relationship between them and the students. Two rules for Kindergarten are simple ones keep your hands, feet, and objects to yourself and follow directions. The consequences for breaking these rules are (1) verbal warning, (2) remove from the group, (3) loss of privileges, and (4) note to parents. There will be a chart on the wall with five colored rectangles. The top rectangle is green with all the students clips on it, blue is verbal warning, yellow is remove from the group, orange is loss of privileges, and red is note to parents. The students will move their clips down as needed. The student’s agenda will be highlighted with the color they are on at the end of the day. Students will use the appropriate color to highlight the date. This allows the students to realize they are accountable for the color

The second key issue I have chosen to look at is the role of the adult within the environment. It is the role of the adult within the setting to create an interesting environment this is because it will encourage and motivate the children to play and learn. It is important that practitioners in the setting should provide recourses for the children that will help develop the children's imagination, creativity and their independent thinking and should also place them in places where children can have easy access to them. It is also the role of the adult to provide a supportive environment for children where children can play and learn. This is because providing a supportive environment will enable the children and young

Mrs. Smith looks eagerly at her new art classroom and sees there are three blue chairs and two pink chairs for her five students. At a quarter till eight, she sees two girls walk

When the teacher pulled out a name out of a plastic container and name who was the line leader to lead out for recess, Child B, dropped to the floor, kicked his legs up and down, and made a squeaking noise.

We started by having the kids tell us about the rules they have in school, what are the rules for, are there any consequences for someone who

Mrs. Johnson says that she uses positive discipline describing the behaviors she wants to manage her classroom. When I asked her to expand on this she said that basically she lest the students know what she expects and they feel trusted to reach those expectations. They know what consequences will be and decide for themselves if they want to suffer those consequences or not. She has the words free time taped to each student desk and when they break the rules they mark off a

I love waking into classrooms that feel “home-like” and welcoming to all that enter. Even the children with disabilities and special needs are pleased with the level of stimulation they receive in the environment. The environment should be bright, clutter free, and organized to ensure success. The music is played at a comfortable level to calm children or to keep them active during daily activities. The characters seen on television should not be displayed in the learning environment because they don’t aid in the learning process.

The setting of my learning environment pertains to a child education center base for ages 2 to 5. My floor plan for my classroom provides ample space for different activities, as well as different types of interest centers for a variety of learning and play opportunities (Kaplan, 2016). My room will also be furnished with appropriate kid-friendly furniture that can hold at maximum 12 students. The physical domain, cognitive domain, affective domain, and developmental theorist all play apart of the making of my learning environment design.

Additional rules and guidelines would provide educators and faculty more opportunity to teach better discipline and improved behavior. Normally, the responsibility of teaching kids discipline and appropriate behavior lies in the hands of their families. Unfortunately, in today’s society many children come from broken
