    Preschool Jumpstart

    I have chosen to review a PC game, one designed specifically for children around the ages of 3-4. It’s the Jumpstart Preschool PC game. Some people would probably disagree with me that a video games are for learning; it’s for playing and rotting the brain. I, however, think this particular game is the best thing that ever happened to my son. My son has not had the privilege of being in a daycare that taught all the basics. When I finally got him into a daycare that teaches, I got laid-off at work. I have since then have had no luck of finding another job, but I have tried several things, trying to teach my son the basic first things a toddler learns such as shapes, colors, animals, etc. I had preschool books that did okay, but his attention wouldn’t last very long. We tried flashcards, which held a little more attention than the books because they are more like a game. We also had a few toys that sang songs and taught different things, but when I found and bought the Jumpstart Preschool PC game, I knew after the first day I had found the best way to teach my son. Within the first day my son didn’t even need me helping him. I showed him how to use the mouse on my computer, and everything else the game taught him by showing him what to do step by step, then had him try it on his own. I was so amazed at how quickly he caught on that I would sit and watch him play this game and never got bored. It brought a smile to my face to know that my little boy wouldn’t miss out on his education. The Jumpstart Preschool PC game is a great way to get your child ready for school because it is easy to use, teaches your child several skills and it’s affordable.…

    Gke Task 2

    I had to make observations on each child and noted each child developmental domains for assessments by the end of the month. As an educator, we must translate what we know from Science about the needs of our children into effective policies and practices. Taken as a whole, State policy makers have a chance to have a significant effect on the development of young children by acting on the policies made that support healthy social-emotional development. Incorporating parts of the Gramling curriculum in our program pointed out how learning to think about education in terms of a child’s developmental needs is such a critical skill for…

    Early Childhood

    Sharon is a 6 month, 185 lbs. healthy woman. She presents with no problems during the pregnancy. She is concern with exercise that will help in the development of her baby and keep her healthy though out the duration of her pregnancy. The plan that I have suggested for her would include walking, swimming, and low pressure aerobics or yoga. All of these exercise will not only benefit her baby but also benefit her as well. Walking was one of the exercises that was suggested. Simply walking 1 to 2 miles per day or something as counting your steps can improve the circulation in the body, increase the cardio system as well as keep her in shape during the pregnancy. This will also aid the delivery process, it allows Mother Nature to do her thing and shift the baby in the downward position for birth. It will aid in making the laboring process easier for some mother and some it will not. The walking keeps the mother fit and healthy during and after having the baby. Swimming is another relaxing exercise that was suggested to the mother. When the body is under water it feels weightless and therefore giving some women a lift off on some well need places on her body during this time. Performing simple strokes with the arms and legs is good for the circulation that many women suffer from during pregnancy. The need for some women to get the feeling that the weight has been lifted if only for a few minutes is a great relief both physical and mentally to expecting mothers. Also using the arms and legs is also good on the cardio system as well. Other simple exercises that can be used are low pressure aerobics and or yoga. Exercise such as these are good for stretching the muscles that will be used in the laboring process.…

    Daycare

    Choosing a daycare center for your child is a big task and a stressful one for many parents and their children. There are many options for daycare, one can be a daycare center or as a home day care center. However, it truly is worth the effort to find that home away from home so your child will feel comfortable while you are away. Generally, daycare centers are required to have more licenses and the state checks up on them much more often than in home daycare centers. Although, childcare centers are great learning environments, many parents are using home daycare centers for caring for their children due to the home away from home atmosphere along with the lower cost. This means the daycare center will be required to stay on top of all requirements and will rarely fall behind.…

    Universal Preschool

    In general, I would say preschool is critical for the development of social interactions, literacy and the growth of the brain. It allows children to gain an understanding of themselves and others. However, I am not in favor of a universal preschool education. Simply because everyone is unique and certain teaching methods do not apply to every child. In addition, the education system should meet all the necessary requirements to improve the success in later years.…

    Preschool Observation

    Working with and observing the preschool children is never dull; Especially interacting with 3 year old E. She is extremely energetic and she enjoyed playing with me. I grabbed a basketball and asked her to kick it and she did exactly that which is why she received a "yes" on the ASQ-3. She later jumped up and down when she continuously asked me to catch her (which was not permitted by the teacher) which is the reason she received a "yes". The reason I marked "sometimes" for walking up stairs is because I have only seen stair of some sort on the playground when the children were outside. At the end of the day when the children's parents were picking them up E and I started to play catch with the basketball; I threw underhanded and she threw…

    Classroom Observation and Teacher Interview

    Mr. Devine: I believe that the role of a teacher in a child’s life is to help them reach their academic, social, and emotional potential. The manner in which this is done can vary significantly, and it is the teacher’s job to find out what strategies, methods, and interventions work best for each child. I believe that children learn best in positive, safe, and consistent environments, and that a teacher has been given a special role in each child’s life and should do their best to help succeed.…
