Active Age Of Pre K

With different children in the class you have to make sure to keep each child’s learning to their levels. Keep researching new ways for the children to learn more information each week. Make sure to stay along licensing rules. Get trained in the fields I need so that I will know everything that I need to know for the children. Making sure to have them in a safe place so that they will feel safe there is important. Make sure to learn about the children’s families because knowing that information can help better understand the children. I will make sure to let the families always know the local school hours. Let the parents know about my program’s mission. Keeping the parents and other staff up to date on what I’m planning to do. Keeping my policies up to date such as communication with parents, curriculum, discipline and guidance, drop-off and pick-ups, emergency closings, others authorized to pick up the children, fees and payment arrangements, food and nutrition, etc. One of the most important things would just be keeping everyone up to

I recently left a position at a small Early Childhood Education center in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The school consisted of children ranging in age of 6 weeks to 6 years. I worked there for eleven years in a variety of age groups. Most of my experience was in Preschool, with children who were three and four years old. The school was located in Point Park University located in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, in one of the University’s dorm buildings and took up two floors. Each classroom was between three and four dorm rooms combined in size. The rooms were long and narrow with partial walls knocked down and converted into doorways between the rooms. Because of the classrooms

Literacy is a vital part of all later learning. Because of this, the children will engage in hands on activities that relates to what they have read and give them opportunities to make up their own versions, as well as make up their own stories. They will have a large group story time and a partner reading time. An ample variety of books will be available at all times. Signs with words and pictures will be posted around the classroom showing, daily activities, objects that are used daily, and the placement of toys and

Before the children come to school, I will give myself thirty minutes for planning. During my planning time, I will review my day’s plans and ensure I have all necessary materials are available to the children. When the children arrival to school, I will greet them and assist them if need with storing their belonging. Breakfast will be prepared for the children with serving bowls to sever themselves. When the children are finish eating breakfast, the quite centers, such as math and manipulatives and literacy centers, will be available for the children to enter. At nine o’clock I will signal for the children to store their materials away and we will transition to having our group meeting. During our group meeting, we have an open discussion

Journal one of the Westminster College class EDU 562 Field Experience was related to observation and participation with a first grade classroom, on Monday, January 4, 2016. Upon arrival the class teacher provided instructions to assist in the set up of the classroom January calendar, make a graph of the lunch choices, and to pass out morning work for the students to complete as they arrived in the classroom. At 8:30 a.m. the teacher welcomed most of the students with excitement as they entered the room. She informed the students in detail and repeated the routine and morning arrival instructions. Once everyone arrived, the teacher rang a bell which symbolized it

At 9:45 AM, everyone will meet in an opening exercise in the auditorium, including singing, announcements, etc. At that point the kids will be dismissed and they will go to the kid’s area and after a brief character talk (on aspects of character such as courage,

For this training/staff development class, staff members will gather in a room and be given an outline and handouts for the presentation. Once, everyone is situated the presentation will begin. For this presentation I will be presenting to my staff about The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Code of Ethical Conduct. Staff members will be presented with information about Ethnics, as defined by NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct glossary “Ethics is the study of right and wrong, or duty and obligation that involves critical reflection

In conclusion, observing in Lewis E. Wadsworth elementary school with Mrs. Poland was an amazing experience. As I said in the beginning it was my childhood dream come true. I have always wanted to work with children who struggle in academics and everyday life. It has always been a passion thriving inside of me. I have already made plans to continue volunteering with Mrs. Poland and Mrs. Byrne’s. Mrs. Byrne is the EBD teacher. I was able to meet her in person today Friday September 11th. She has such a heart for these children as well. I would like to add she has incorporated many calming techniques in her classroom to help keep the children relaxed and comfortable. She was explaining to me how she first started off a few years back

The first part of the day (8-11am) is spent with Mrs.Shelby who teaches math, science and social studies. At 11:00am the children transition to their literacy block with Mrs. Patnoi (11-1:30pm)

The first setting I observed was a Pre-Kindergarten setting. The first thing I noticed was how the teacher set up routines for her students. These routines can include hanging up their coat\ backpack, placing their lunches in a bin and starting their morning work for the day. The teacher assigns her students morning work and this week’s included writing practice. Each child was given a sheet of paper to trace with their name on it. Many of the students came into the classroom late, which gave the students a disadvantage because it did not allow them enough time to finish their work. After their morning work, the class met for a morning meeting. Morning meeting usually includes the discussion of the months of the year, days of the week, the weather, songs about what they have

Based on my observation I noticed that the children were talked to in a respectful manner, they were asked various questions. York (2003) stated, “Children are naturally curios they base their ideas on appearance” (p, 28). The children freely explored their environment. The teacher were prepared and engaged with the children. The children were offered choices. The program was developmentally appropriate and encouraged human diversity. The areas were adequately arranged and were anti-bias. There was a great amount of diverse pictures in the classroom. The work of the children was different and you could tell that it was their creation.

He found that the advisory system, personal learning plans, student-based learning, classroom management, and behavior were areas that needed improvement (p. 9). At this point, teachers still did not have a concrete schedule and were challenged with behavioral problems and working with a diverse group of students. The teachers felt part of the problem, was not having a seasoned teacher in the school nor a formal discipline plan. Behavioral challenges continued to be a problem throughout the school year. Even though the district reimbursed the school for the services of a psychologist, a speech therapist, and a nurse, they were part-time and not on-site when situations arose (p.

Working as an after-school childcare supervisor I have encountered a variety of individuals and families with different experiences. One

“Low child/teacher ratios. Small group size. Staff with higher education. Positive teacher/child interactions. Age appropriate activities.”

When the students first enter the classroom each morning, they should expect a predictable set of tasks to be awaiting for them as they arrive this will set the tone for the entire day. 8.30 a.m.: As the students walk through the door, I will stand tall and straight in the doorway using lots of body language warmly greet each child by name as they walk in I may point out a particular color the child may be wearing this will make the students feel appreciated as they walk through the door. I will then direct the students to hang up their coats and hats on the hooks and then put his/her belongs in the cubby and go to the sinks to wash and dry their hand then go choose a book, and sit in his special place at the table until I give further directions on what to do until all the students arrive I will have an area set up for parents by the front door who want to linger around or just want to watch their child for a few minutes each morning before the day begins.
