12.01 Childhood Observation

I will be observing a seven-year-old child for my project. What I have learned from being a parent and watching my kids as they grow up the social emotional, physical and intellectual changes that occur in children between birth and the end of adolescence are that they all progress at individual intervals from dependency to increasing individualism. Because these developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors and events during prenatal life, genetics and prenatal development are usually included as part of the built in parenting skills we all possess. When children are born they have no sense of fear but quickly develop a fear of what

I did my observations in a first grade classroom at R. L Brown Elementary school. My supervising teacher had strict guidelines about the lesson that she was allowing me to teach. Because I was doing my observation so close to the end of the year, I could only teach during the science block. She allowed my to choose between two standards. The standard I choose was LAFS.1.RI.3.9 Id( Identify basic similarities in and differences between two texts on the same).I spent a lot of time doing my lesson plan called the and different, and I tried to plan for everything possible. To be honest my lesson went okay. It was the little things that caused the most problems. I learned that actual teaching is a complex profession. There are always a million

On November 7,2016 at 2:50 pm, Shawn was in the special education room for work completion. When his teacher showed him the work to be finished Shawn was adamant he had already completed it. Staff showed Shawn that the work was incomplete. Shaw refused to comply at which time staff started the sequence of his behavior plan. A timer was started for five minutes, to allow Shawn to comply with the directions. Due to Shawn behavior at the end of the five minutes, he needed to be escorted to the break room. During the transition to the break room, Shawn punched staff in the face, kicked, and attempted to bite staff. Shawn refused to enter the room fully to allow for staff to close the door. Staff entered the room, Shawn then began to hit, kick,

The AM kindergarten students were in their station activities which included a number game or reading with headphones. As the AM class was getting ready to leave; the PM class joined the AM students on the carpet and watched an educational YouTube video. The AM teacher walked her students to the front of the door while the parents were waiting. The PM

Through out the observation both children were moving from place to place. The little girl would grab one toy then go find another one. She would play one type of activity then go back to building blocks. She would stack blocks and connect the rail road tracks for the train. For approximately 3 minutes or more the girl would stay fully engaged trying connecting the railroad tracks. She would forget that she was in a room full of other toys, for a moment I possibly thought she could be autistic because she was able to stay focused on one activity for a long period of time and not engage other children. Her fine motor skills were adequate for her age she was able to hold objects in her hand. While she was fascinated in putting together the railroad

As the teacher opens the door, Rosa runs outside to play. She got a bike and pushed herself without using the peddles. She went around the playground and would say, “Hi teacher, hi teacher!” Rosa was smiling as she would go around the playground. Rosa went around the playground without using the peddles four times. The fifth time she started using the peddles. As Rosa started using the peddles, she would say, “Look teacher, look me go fast.” Then Rosa would lead forward and peddle faster.

I begin observing Faith Sanchez a six-year-old, who is in the first grade at Emerson Elementary School on November 7, 2017 over the course of three days. The observation took place at the child’s home, where we had access to the materials needed for the different set of skills that I would be conducting during the observational period. The reason for observing Faith was to see if her Physical, Cognitive and Psychosocial domains are developing at the average range for a school age child or if she was showing signs of atypical development.

Last night I went to a Pre-k graduation for my grandson. I decided that would be a great place to observe parenting styles. Little did I know that I would be observing parenting styles of the older children instead of the 4-5 year olds. There was a family standing next to us during the ceremony and after. I noticed a 10-12 year old boy talking to a man, maybe dad, maybe mom’s friend? The two of them were communicating back and forth fairly well. There was a little girl in the graduation class that was very out spoken and she was cute, for a little while. My granddaughter made a few cute remarks about the little girl and the lady beside us did too. So Chloe, my granddaughter, ask the lady if that was her daughter. She relied, no, I couldn’t

The children came walking over to the carpet to sit down for story time. “Miranda.” I said “It is time to join our friends on the carpet for story time.” Miranda walked over to the play kitchen and sat down in a leather chair apart from the rest of the group. I walked over to the circle time carpet and sat down on the tile floor outside of the carpet. Ms. Alyssa said “Miranda we are reading a story now so, you need to come and sit with the rest of us.” Miranda stood up and walked to the middle of the classroom but, stopped there and stared at Ms. Alyssa. Ryker was walking around the classroom. Ms. Justine said “Ryker, it is time to sit down and listen.” Ryker looked at Ms. Justine and said

In this paper I will discuss an interview that was done with a pre-k teacher. I will also focus on the observation in which I observed regarding the program, environment, teacher guidance and classroom interactions. The interview and observation took place for forty minutes. While observing I was able to the creative curriculum.

The visitor continued reading two more chapters to the students. After 15 minutes, T started to close his book. The teacher redirected T and asked him to open his book again and follow along. T opened his book but was looking all around the room. T then found a piece of scrap paper on the floor and was rolling it into a tiny ball. The teacher again asked T to open his book and follow along. When T opened his book, when he did T was two pages behind where the visitor was. The visitor asked a question to the whole class. T was looking and the ground playing with his piece of paper, he took in a deep breath and let it out quickly. He didn’t look up or raise his hand to give a response to the

The purpose of this paper is to locate, observe, and collect information on a school-aged child between the ages of six and 17 in different settings. Once the child is identified, a pseudonym will be assigned to the child. The child will be observed on his development, to include: school performance, emotional characteristics, social characteristics, cognitive characteristics, motivational characteristics, self-concept, interests, language development, moral development, and health. Also, the child will be placed in proper development stages according to theories based on the work of Piaget, Vygotsky, Erickson, and Kohlberg. The goal of this paper is to develop a comprehensive portrait of the subject.

when the fire drill alarm sounded. Lauren stood up, got in line, and proceeded out of the classroom and building with her classmates in an orderly manner. On the playground, Lauren was quiet, faced north, and waited for teacher directives to return to the building. When the all–clear bell rang, she turned around and returned to the building in an orderly manner. She sat in her assigned seat and waited for the teacher to resume class. The observer resumed the observation at 9:21
