Today was my last day teaching preschool and at the end of the day, my cooperative teacher told my students that today would be my last day and they should go hug me and thank me. When the children were hugging me, it reminded me why I love teaching. I loved working with my students and at the preschool. If I could, I would continue working with them! Today was a good day.
The place I observed was the Infant Development Program in their preschool program called Stepping Stones Preschool in Lock Haven, PA. I observed in one of their three to five year old preschool programs that is held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons from 11:30am to 2:30pm. This particular classroom had two head teachers; Mrs. Kate and Mrs. Lisa. The teacher call their students Owls this is because their class name is Owls. When they want to get the kids to listen to them or they want to get their attention a teacher will say “Owls Owls Whoo Whoo” and the kids will say “Owls Owls Whoo Whoo”. Another thing the teachers will also refer to the students as friends. In this classroom there was four boys and four girls. I observed two
Today was inspiring and heartbreaking. One spectacular thing happened today with a different teacher and one sad thing happened today with one of our students. The art teacher stopped me. I was walking with the students to lunch today. The assistant leads the class down and I am in the
Chapter eight is about promoting communication and language development in early childhood education. Early communication is mostly non-verbal. Communication goes beyond the words we use; it develops with the use of gestures, facial expressions, hand movements and positioning of our body. Some of the first displays of communication by infants include, smiling, fussing and looking at an area, person or object. Later, communication extends to give signals such as pointing, reaching and body movements to indicate a want or need. The primary functions of early communication are behavior regulation, social interaction, and calling joint attention. Students with visual impairment and other disabilities are at risk for developing communication and
Should College Athletes Get Paid College athletes should get paid because they practice all year long and for some it's hard to find a job because they have three practice each day. College Athletes can’t work in between class or on their free time because they have homework to do. Athletes leave for games and some games can be six hours away or just a few hours, it all depends on where the college is located. College coaches get paid, John Calipari is the highest paid basketball coach, he gets paid $6,356,856 and one of the lowest paid coaches is Rick Barnes and he gets paid $2,625,000. Some people say if college athletes get paid that would makes them a professional player but if a college coach gets paid wouldn’t that make them a professional coach?

Today was particularly fun for me because I learned how to paint on a canvas. The painting was one for Florida pride. It was the shape of Florida which incorporated all the elements that are associated with a tropical scenery. I loved it! Everyone was very helpful, and welcoming. I felt a bit more comfortable today because many classmates came to the event. So, I had people that I could physically speak with. Although, we were supposed to sign…it’s still a working progress. Sandra helped me with my painting and it was neat. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the painting instructors name, but I know her face. She made her rounds looking at our paintings
Chapter two discusses various theorists that helped to mold and shape early childhood education to where it is today. There are several different theorists that contributed to the development of early childhood education. Some of these theorists include Alfred Adler, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, and John Dewey. Each theorist developed a unique theory that has caused early childhood guidance and education to flourish like it has today. Without learning and building on these theories, early childhood guidance and education would never develop or change. The chapter explains how some theories may seem strange to the contemporary families, but these theories are the foundation of how early childhood education got to where it is today. The book goes
On this day, I feel enthusiastic in everything I do. I feel very lucky to be in such a great school with mind blowing teachers who are always willing to help. While staying on top of my education, I continue to do community service to help people in any way I can. By doing
Have you ever walked into a preschool classroom and wondered what they are doing and why they are doing it? The Highscope Classroom to an untrained eye may look like the kids are just "Playing". The classroom is full of conversation and play and the teachers are actively engaged with the children, on the floor talking with and or playing with them. What is the theory behind all this play?
When I arrived at Frontenac High School today for my internship, I found out that Mr. Buzard was sick. He had left the substitute teacher with what the students should be working on for the class. I was able to help the students with their assignment today. It was the first day that I have actually felt like a teacher.
One must look at classroom management as a plan for what procedures students will follow throughout the day. Teachers must understand their role in making sure students have a successful experience each day. Wong H. & Wong R., state “Effective teachers teach how to responsibly follow procedures” (2009, p. 165). To have a smooth-running classroom with minimal behaviors, students must be taught classroom procedures from the very first day. In my classroom we have procedures for many things we do each day. Some of these are arrival of children, snack time, lining up and walking down the hallway, and cleaning up centers. I have been teaching these procedures for many years with much success.

In early learning environments, children acquire knowledge and develop cognitive, social and emotional, physical and language acquisition skills in the content areas such as language arts, math, science, and social studies in a variety of ways. It is up to the teachers to plan and implement in-depth studies of themes and topics that are meaningful and relevant to the children, being sure to address the development of the whole child while integrating all of the content areas. In the physical classroom the environment should provide students with hands-on opportunities to grow and develop skills, gain knowledge, and have fun as they explore carefully designed learning centers. They should be provided with materials that are related to
Early education for children is very crucial as it helps shape up the foundation of their knowledge and behavior development process. Children begin to develop the sense of curiosity from the age of two.
