Pedagogical Observation Paper
In my blog I will share my experience and my observations from the past school year during which I had pleasure to work with the 3's and 4's (two groups combined twice a week). In my journal entries, I will focus on sharing my observations, applying foundations of Reggio inspired practices, and my own reflections that enrich my pedagogical beliefs.

    Let me begin by stating that at no time during the 8+ months that have gone by since I originally conducted the Mold inspection on this home, not once was I ever contacted by the client to express their concerns. I was only made aware that there was an issue when I recently read the review on Angie’s List. I would suspect that the delay was due to the time span that it took for the land lord to have these clients, who were renting the home, held legally accountable for cross contaminating the home. These clients are now looking for a scapegoat because the husband and/or the “Mold Test Only” company cross contaminate the home, rendering it unlivable. A full visual inspection of this home (including the Arizona room) took place on November 15, 2014. Upon completion of the inspection, we took 4…

    On February 2nd I went in to the clinic and observed a 5 year old boy who had a moderate language disorder. And just like we discussed in class, the child wouldn’t be phonologically processing his words correctly. For example: Blue car would be pronounced as Boo car. And screwdriver would be pronounced as schoodiver. He would be altering his words by gliding upn them or using cluster reduction. And from his age group based on the research between 3-5 years is the age group where these speech processing take place, so he is come at a good time to therapy to get this resolved. The objective of the client in this session was to correctly produce voice and voiceless “th” sounds in the initial/median/final stages. He wouldn’t be prancing “k” sound…

    When I arrived, Athena was finishing her morning snack/breakfast. After a few minutes, she got up and stood in line to wash her hands. (gross motor skills) While waiting, she was standing very close to the other child in front of her. With the assistance of a teacher, Athena washed her hands and pulled out a paper towel from the dispenser. When she was done drying her hands, she walked over to an area with a lot of toys. She grabbed a stuffed animal. She then started crawling around the floor as she looked at the other toys. She found a pet carrier and proceeded to put the stuffed animal into the carrier. When she finished putting the stuffed animal in the carrier, she placed the carrier on a chair. She then looked around the toy area and walked to the center of the classroom. Athena stood in the center of the classroom for a few minutes. She looked at what the other children were doing. She returned to the chair where she had left her stuffed animal and picked up the carrier. With the carrier in hand, she walked to a table where other children were playing. She sat at the table but did not play or interact with the other children. (onlooker play) After a few minutes, she took the carrier back to the play area and set the carrier on a chair.…

    Conformity is behavior change designed to match the actions of others. During my research, I found many examples of conformitive behavior. I often related conformity to adolescents due to the fact that they usually do their best to try and fit in when it comes to group settings. This type of behavior can be seen in college students attending educational facilities away from home. Those that are in dorms tend to indulge in drinking even if they aren’t “big drinkers”. They do this to conform to that of others and to be included in the fun and try and fit in. One last example that I will discuss prior to getting into my own observation, was the study that was done my Crandall in 1988 which examined normative social influences involving bulimia in college sororities. Sororities are the true definition of conformity and those that don’t conform are usually not allowed to continue to pledge. In the particular sororities that were examined, Crandall found that it had its own norm when it came to the “right” amount of food to eat and the popularity within the sorority was associated with adhering to this norm. Those that wanted to be a part of the sororities needed to conform to the “norm” and fell into a bulimic state. These girls had to of known this was not healthy for them yet they wanted to continue to become of part of this group and follow the “norm” that was set out. To me, this is just ridiculous.…

    We all have things we do to help us relax at the end of the day. Some people have an alcoholic drink, while others smoke a cigar or a cigarette, or relax and watch television. Now people these days go to a place called Coffee Rush every day after work to get away from their hectic life. When arriving at Coffee Rush, the aroma of freshly ground up coffee beans is in the air along with the bustle of everyone in the shop, and the baristas making the drinks. Everyone in the shop is in a good relaxing mood drinking coffee. As you sit down on the cold metal chairs, you are in a different world, a world away from reality with no cliques or stress and acceptance between all.…
