Until they finished fling all the rubber bands they started to play with the trucks. They used the trucks to crash into everything. For example some of the girls were playing kitchen and they just came rushing in with their trucks and crashed it against the food, plates, and cups dropping everything in their path. The other kids got angry at them for crashing into their stuff, but they were just having fun they did not mean to hurt anyone.
11. Child/Teacher Relationships:
The nature and quality of the relationship between the teacher and the children in the classroom setting (Gethers, 2014).
Example:
The teacher had the children had a great connection with each other. Of course some children had their favorite teacher that may be nicer than the other ones or more fun the others. As well the teachers had their favorite children the ones that were nice, quiet, and plight to others. For example Crystal wanted to go to the rest room so she asked Chazmine “where Veronica “? Chazmine told her “she .went outside, but I can take you to the restroom”. Crystal told her “no" so, she waited for Veronica to come back to ask her to take her. But overall they have positive relationships among each other.

As for Cristian, she was paying attention to the same five children the whole time I was there. But yet there was nobody paying attention to the remaining five children who were the ones running around, and throwing
