To maintain a commitment to professionalism I will introduce daily opportunities for the children within the classroom to explore their surrounding world through play, examination, art and science activities and much more. The children will be encouraged to explore each center within the classroom; these centers will be set up based upon the theme of the week. There will be an art center, a library, a block area, a home living center, and a manipulative and science/sensory center within the classroom. At times some of these centers may be changed according to the theme plan for the week.…

To promote cognitive development, I will provide activities and materials to develop children's curiosity, problem solving and reasoning skills. I will provide a time in our daily schedule for exploring our manipulative cabinet where there are puzzles, magnets, gears, colored counting cubes and blocks. When reading stories I will ask open-ended questions and allow time for discussion. During circle time we will sing many fun songs about the letters of the alphabet and days of the week. Every other week we go to the library and have the librarian read to us. For the child with special needs I will have pencil holders and give extra time to complete their projects.…

It also talked about letting children use different styles of blocks to explore. The last step that it mentioned said to ask the children a variety of questions.…
The role of any adult in child-initiated learning is to, prepare the physical environment so children have access to a wide range of intresting open-ended resources and be able to explore and investigate imaginatively. Also to develop an emotional environment where children feel safe to share their thoughts and ideas and try things out without being afraid that they might get things wrong. It is important to manage the daily routine and ensure the children have time to follow their own ideas and develop their self-initiated play. All professionals need to show children the practical skills they need to handle tools and equipment safely. Help the…

The main objective of this activity is to get the children to use their imagination, as they are very imaginative.…
It is important to remember that these six areas of learning do not work in isolation but are in fact interlinked. Good quality activities will cover more than one area of development. For example, allowing children to access the outdoors will not only support their physical development, but encourage their communication and exploration of their environment. Where a child experiences a delay in one area, it is likely to limit their learning and development in the other five...a child with cerebral palsy who experiences hand-eye coordination difficulties is likely to find completing a puzzle difficult therefore hindering her problem solving, reasoning and numeracy. It is therefore vital that settings recognise each child’s individual needs and plan holistically in order to help children achieve their full potential across the six areas of learning.…
This activity is developmentally appropriate for this age group because it teaches the children many things such as weight and properties of matter. It also teaches the children the smell and texture of the sand. This activity allows them to use different things such as buckets their hands the sand and any other item they mite want to use. As a teacher I would be able to facilitate the children through out this activity. That gives me the opportunity to help the children when needed but won’t actually be letting me do the work for them.…
