Summary Of Ms. Nicole Ince's Classroom Observation

This encourages the child to continue the positive behaviour and they will be rewarded with positive attention and something for example as a toy or treat.

All children will crave attention from an early age, as babies we coo and smile      To get attention. This is why it 's important to build positive relationships from an early age or as soon as possible the reason for this is children need support and attention from us, if the relationships are not good the children may feel they can not get positive attention easily so are more likely to show unwanted behaviour to get negative attention. Taking time to talk and have fun with children is therefore important.

Education has come a extensive way from the times of Plato and Aristotle, but from each new era came a person with a concept that effected the world of education eternally. Sisters, Margaret and Rachel McMillian influenced education through their development of the Open-Air Nursery School in more way then one. Not only had they introduced the idea of starting education at a younger age then the fledgling kindergarten program, but their school was devised for kids from low- income areas that needed the extra care as well. A unique concept of the time that grasped my interest and made me want to discover more about their program and it’s effect on Early Childhood Education.

I interview the Brenda. She is the Center Manager for Episcopal Children Services Peck Head Start. This is a program in Nassau County, FL. They provides full-day center-based early learning to children ages 3-5 years of old. They have two classrooms of 20 children. Their program provides comprehensive services in the areas of health, mental health, and nutrition, disabilities and parent and community engagement, in addition to early childhood education as part of a complete approach to school readiness. They have a population of 75, 00.00 people. The county that this program is in has an estimated poverty ratio of 691 families. The county is made up of the following races White – 78%, Black – 15%, and Hispanic –

The school I observed at is Evans High School located at 4550 Cox Rd, Evans, GA 30809. This school has around 1,800 students in attendance ranging between grades nine through twelve. The teacher I observed is named Jean Lancaster, the chorus and guitar teacher, who has been teaching all grades at Evans High for the past twenty plus years. Lancaster is honestly losing her respect from her students because she is very strict on some students in the classroom, but others can get away with whatever they want without her even batting an eye. She enjoys her job and many believe she will be teaching her classes until she dies.

While observing in Mrs. Lewis’ Kindergarten classroom I noticed that there are several diversities that exist amongst her students. I am aware that two students in the room have IEPs and are accommodated for as needed, specifically in the time they are given to complete activities and the scale in which they are graded in comparison to their peers. Also, there several children that are a different ethnicity than Mrs. Lewis herself, but are always treated in an unbiased manner by Mrs. Lewis as well as her aid, Ms. Pam. In addition, I am aware that there are no ELL students within the classroom, but due to the presence of Latino children Mrs. Lewis has laminated posted taped to objects in the class that have the Spanish term

I observed children at ABC Child Development Center in the 3 year old classroom on March 1, 2010 from 8am until 11am. The classroom had a very diverse composition in the classroom, Hispanic, African American, Caucasian, Native American, and Asian (Vietnamese). In addition to diversity the ABC child development focus on maintaining a child centered environment that allows children to learn at their own pace. The classroom had 2 teachers and 24 children in attendance during the observation. The classroom has blue walls and displays of the children’s artwork around the room for Saint Patrick's Day and also spring. The classroom had 8 centers for learning and activities. The centers were arranged at the

Friday October 30, 2015, I was able to assist Developmental Playgroup staff in caring for children while their parents attended a weekly Health Education and Literacy (HEAL) information session/class. There were a number of seven children present. Two children under the age of one, three children who were one and a half years of age, two children who were two and half years old, and an older child around the age of five. To care for the seven children, there were three staff members and a student intern (me).

In this lab experience I was observing eighteen to nineteen first grade students at Jefferson Elementary. Most of the observations take place in the classroom. I observe at different times of the day, so that I can experience different areas of study. I have observed this class with their regular teacher, two substitutes and the reading coach, as well as a portion of the class with two special activity teachers.

Observations at Columbia High School were collected in the Student Services department for 9th and 10th graders in the Huntsville City Schools (HCS) district. Students enrolled in this self-contained, special needs unit are supported by a curriculum design with prevocational transition targets. These exceptional learners work toward benchmark academic, behavioral, and vocational skills development.

Spaces are set up so that infants can practice self-help skills and Toddlers have their own space for their things. Family pictures with the children are displayed throughout the classroom to provide a way to identify themselves. Each child's development of awareness as part of a family, ethnic group or a social group is supported with conversations and celebrating cultural events with the children. Materials are selected to be developmentally appropriate and changed over time to give more challenges and opportunities to experience success. My children are respected as individuals, personal relationships are built with each one by encouraging, talking and comforting them. I give them one on one time as much as possible. I will always immediately attend to a child who is hurt, scared or upset. I'll help the children recognize, accept and express their feelings in culturally appropriate ways. Many opportunities are provided for toddlers to help themselves to gain new skills. Toilet Learning is encouraged when the child shows readiness or interest. Small group activities with manipulatives are planned to allow cooperation between

The program I have selected for this assignment on consultations in Early Childhood settings is Sunshine Academy Early Education Center located in Brookline, Massachusetts. Sunshine Academy philosophy focuses on each child’s unique abilities and potential. Engaging qualified staff with a caring, nurturing, loving and supportive attitude, and to create opportunities for families, and staff to be involved in all aspects of your child’s care. Diversity of families of every race, color, cultural heritage and national origin, regardless of marital status, sexual orientation, disability or religious belief. I had an opportunity to interview Chirine Mehio who is one of the director at the 302 Harvard Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Chirine started working at Sunshine as an infant teacher, toddler and Pre-Kindergarten for five years. Chirine Mehio was overwhelmed with happiness to be part of my consultations in Early Childhood settings assignment. Understanding the professional roles of supporting consultee and consultant in the field of Early Childhood Education are part of decision making in collaboration involves the interactive exchange of resources with families, teachers and focuses building relationships.

Ms. Nicole Ince's classroom welcomed me for an observation on Wednesday, July 29th, 2015. Ms. Nicole has recently had a few drops with children preparing for kindergarten so her numbers have changed. There were 21 children when I began my observations but the class roster has dropped down to 18 with the class split nine boys and nine girls. Her classroom is located in the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians Child Care Center which is located in rural Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The school is also a private school that maintains a waitlist. It contains four classrooms; Ms. Nicoles preschool class, two toddler rooms consisting of children 18 to 36 months and an infant room with children birth to 18 months.

I don't know any child that does not like to be praised and told they are doing a good job. Knowing they have the chance for that praise is enough to help most hyperactive children spend less time misbehaving and more time listening to what they are to do to receive that praise.

On October 26th I observed at Park Elementary in Munhall, Pa. The school is from kindergarten to 4th grade. Park Elementary was the same Elementary school I attended and the second-grade classroom I chose to observe was the same classroom that I sat in ten years ago taught by the same teacher. I chose to observe Park Elementary because the school and the teachers are who inspired me to become an elementary school teacher. The classroom was very colorful and organized. The walls were covered with decorations such as calendars, months, star student, alphabet, and number lines. The lesson I observed was a second-grade mathematics lesson and language arts. Classroom sizes are 25-30 students per classroom. The lesson was making numbers using ones, tens and
