We help the children develop these skills by interaction with each other, singing songs, reading and sharing books as well as talking with them and

The educational requirements to become a childcare worker vary by state. “Some states require workers to have a high school diploma or equivalent, but many states do not have any education requirements for entry-level positions” (Unites States, 2017). Practically anybody can become a childcare worker. However, in order to be eligible for a higher level position such as a lead teacher, a worker must have postsecondary education or an early childhood education credential. Workers can receive postsecondary education and the early childhood education through a community college or a university.

A healthy environment is essential for teacher and students. Cleaning objects, restrooms, and equipment promote a clean environment from debris and bacteria. Showing the students how to properly wash their hands and cleaning after themselves will encourage them to be healthier. Nutritional meals and snacks will influence them eat properly and healthier.

It is important to maintain a safe environment for students inside and outside of the classroom. My goal is to make sure that the children understand what being safe is. I make sure that they know how to play safe. All of the toys and the materials that the children use are safe. I make sure that there are no broken toys that may harm them around. The children along with me create the class rules. I make sure that the outlet plugs are in place and that the cabinets are secure. The children follow the classroom rules. I make sure that I supervise the children at all times. I also make sure that I observe the areas where they play, work, and eat. I make sure that shoes are tied. I make sure that

Dimension 3.1, classroom environment, routines, and procedures, the teachers is expected to organize and maintain a “safe, accessible, and efficient classroom” (TEA, 2016, p. 15). Dimension 3.2, managing student behavior, focuses on establishing expectations for behavior. And dimension 3.3, classroom culture, consists of creating a culture of mutual respect in which all learners are engaged (TEA, 2016). The focus of this domain is to ensure an orderly and safe environment for all learners by maintain high

2. Utilize the curriculum to plan developmentally appropriate activities that promote learning and development for preschoolers and toddlers.

The establishment of a health and safe environment is essential for the work of the school. It is also a law. It depends upon sound management, vigilant supervision and the co-operation of all children and adults.

Mrs. Drais used one day a small group of learning by having each table of children going to sit in their row on the carpet in front of her. That day we did a packet filled with many different activities and as a class we worked on it, then you could also have help from someone near you if needed. The different activities were a maze of a gingerbread man, coloring a gingerbread man’s house, a worksheet with working on a certain letter from the alphabet, or a picture of a gingerbread man with shapes and each shape had to be a certain color, then you would color on the graph a certain number of squares depending how many of shapes there we’re of that on the gingerbread man. Another example would be the use of clustered tables of teamwork. There are about six tables and four kids at each one about maybe less and I think it helps them being near more kids during work time. So if they had a question or did not know what to do and if the teacher or possibility volunteer was busy then they can ask their table mates otherwise work on it together to get it done

Effective approach of ensuring participation and engagement of children and young people first is the choice of appropriate location or venue. The location must not restrict their engagement. Additionally, unlike adult which it may be believed that using one delivery mechanism would be appropriate for their understanding of issue, every engagement with children may require different methods for the easy understanding of the same situation and be able to effectively participate and be engaged in planning. Activities such as a play may be organized where the drama or acts will send message to them regarding situation they want them to know or be aware of or enlightened about as well as taking feedbacks. Also, the approach must allow children

I would bring things to the classroom that grab children's attention and helps them learn. Lev Vygotsky is talked about for “zone of proximal educational development.” He believed that children develop from exposure to skills, words, concepts and task that are a little beyond their ability, but with a “zone” of possible achievement (positive child guidance, Darla Ferries miler pg 32). The CSEFEL site talks about scripted stories for children. Scripted stories for social situations help children understand social interactions, situations, expectations, social cues , unfamiliar activities, and or social rules. Scripted stories are brief descriptive stories that provide information regarding a social situation. As I teacher, I would observe children when they are playing or doing activities. This would help me pick what problems I need to address. If children are having trouble with using their words to tell another child what they need, I could bring out a story that deals with this situation and during group time id say “hey friends I have a very special story about a kid named Billy. Billy wanted to color with markers, but there were no more markers in the marker box. Let's find out what Billy does, I bet at the end of the story my friends can tell me what Billy did.” I’d read the story to them about Bill and the makers. In the end Billy asks a friend who has too many markers, if he could use some of the

Miss.Bireline does everything she can to make her make sure her students are successful.She works with each of her kids to become a better student and person.

For example, coaching, modeling, and reinforcing positive social skills, such as how to initiate interaction with a peer, cooperate in play, and respond to another child with friendly emotion and approval.

The career I have chosen is Early Childhood Education. This type of teaching is at the elementary level. I would be working with children in pre-kindergarten through the fifth grade. To become an Early Childhood Teacher, I will need a high school diploma and a Bachelor’s Degree. After I receive my undergraduate degree I will be awarded a teaching certificate and able to begin teaching immediately after.

For the strategy of playing with the children, my goal would be to have improved communication between the students . in order to meet this goal some strategies to use would be incorporating some of the problems the children faced in play on the homework or extra credit. If the child was able to solve the problem in a way that was similar to how the play went then the play time was a success. the teacher could also have the children put on a play about a problem and have the children in the group act out the solution. For example if the problem was spilt milk the children could act out how they would clean up the milk.

Structured classroom activities – for this teachers can build learning groups that are diverse and plan activities that entail each student to contribute to the group. This way students learn
