For my first indoor Preschool observation, I attended First Assembly of God church located at 534 N. Alameda Ave. in the city of Azusa. For my first hour of observation, I was welcomed into an hour long visit of youth group on Wednesday, July 9, 2014 during the evening from 7-8 PM. This bible study consisted of 30 minutes of indoor play and 30 minutes of outdoor play. For my second hour of observation I attended an hour long session of bible study on Sunday July 13, 2014, also taken place at the First Assembly of God church, during the hours of 9-1:20 AM.
The children aged 3-4 years were placed in a group called the Rainbows taught by Brandi Miller. The "Rainbows" consists of 6 participants; this is the group I attended to do my observation. The child I chose to do my study is a male named Hunter Ray Miller, age 3. The teacher Brandi Miller is also the mother of the child I observed. His physical appearance consisted of Brown straight hair. He weighs approximately 30 pounds, has cute chubby cheeks and was dressed in a white shirt, camouflage pants and brown strap-on sandals. Hunter is at this center for 3 hours and 20 minutes per week.
The indoor activity consisted of an arts and craft project. The children were given a paper plate with the rigid edges cut off leaving only a round flat surface, it also contained 3 medium sized hole punches. The children were given 9 strips of different colored paper and were instructed to staple them into circles and link them together attaching them to the hole punches. They were given glitter, paint coloring pencils and crayons and were able to decorate their wind chime however they pleased. The children were given 30 minutes to complete the task accordingly.
After close observation, I analyzed Hunter and decided he would be categorized as a slow-to-warm-up child. When the class first started, he sat in his chair quietly, had his head down, and was fiddling with his fingers. When the arts & crafts assignment had begun, Hunter
