Pre-K Classroom Observation
This object that is important to me is from my Pre-K teacher Mrs. Judy. My book is wrinkled and bent. It also has the aroma of Kindergarten every time you open the book. It is also titled Clifford the Big Red Dog Goes to School.

This book was an out of a blue present given to me by my Pre-K teacher. I always read it. Now, though, it sits on my bookshelf tucked away from the luminous light of day. This book also has a purple border and has a walloping yellow title. As it sits it’s 8in x 6in, and every single inch of it has wrinkles and bends all over. When you open the book it has the traces of Pre-K aroma running through your nose. Also it seems to have some sort of mystery stain on each page. The way I got this book though is no mystery.

In fact I hid under a table and wouldn't come out. So my teacher, Mrs. Judy, gave me this book. It was a Clifford book! I absolutely adored Clifford books back then. Yes, it may have been torn up and had scribbles all over the inside, but I loved it. Then reality kicked in, sooner or later I would have to come out of the fort of comfort I’ve constructed. And I did. I was moved out of that dark bear cave of mine and joined the class.For the rest of the year I loved going to school. Then towards the end of the year Mrs. Judy gave me the book back. I was so cheerful. When I got home I opened the book and instead of scribbles and nonsense inside there was a note with a picture of me by it signed Mrs. Judy.

This book is very important. It taught me that school isn't that horrible. It also made me more comfortable at school. If it weren’t for Mrs.Judy, I’d probably still be that shy timid person who has no friends and talks to no one. This book symbolizes the love of school and not being shy. Never before that did I think a book would be the most important thing that happened to me. And it’s still hard to believe that it is.

My Clifford book represents a lot. Which is why this book is so important to me. Though it may be wrinkled, bent, and mostly destroyed by now, it still hits that soft spot in my heart. How about you? What important thing do you

    She gave it to my mother and then when I was in middle school my mom gave it to me. The book was called a drop of trees and it was true story about a girl who lived in the desert. When I came to the U.S, I took this book with me along with other books because it remands me of my mother. I think it would be nice to take something that reminds us of our families and loved ones.

My area of interest is elementary, I chose to observe a Kindergarten and Second grade classroom.

    It’s an unusual little book, only 74 pages soaking wet, with funny little line drawings resembling cartoons. But its message is big.

    "There is no friend as loyal as a book" -Ernest Hemingway. I fabricated my senior project to inspire the younger generation to read and take home books. I believe that knowledge can be power when an individual finds something they enjoy. Books are universal and are being replaced with electronics. With all the insane things going on in the world how pleasant is it to crack open up a novel, and be taken into a different universe with imagination. That is the idea of my project to provide a readable piece of happiness. The goal of this is to do exactly what it says. Exchange a new book for an older one of yours, and to give people an opportunity to read. From there I had gathered up material from family members. Accordingly constructed a “take…

    One possession that I hold dear to me is my baseball glove. I’ve had it for what will be 5 years by the time my birthday comes around. It’s nothing fancy or extraordinary, just a black Wilson A2000 left-handed glove that I still use to this day. I go out of my way to always make sure it is in the best condition possible. I change the laces on it every 6 months. I always keep a rubber band wrapped around it with a…

    Pre-K Observation

    I observed in the preschool class for two hours, there were a total of 12 children in the class Most of the kids that are in the preschool class were four years old, but there was one five year old. When I first arrived at the preschool, the kids seemed very shy towards me and they did not seem like they were very sociable. I was a stranger to them, and I would have to guess that all of the children were experiencing a little bit of stranger anxiety. I talked to the teacher about how the children reacted to all “strangers” She said that the children often become very uneasy. As I sat down to observe the children, I noticed one thing right away. The boys in the group were very wild and rambunctious, and the girls seemed to be shy and reserved. The boys tend to be more outgoing, and girls tend to be more reserved. In this class there were various stuffed animals, and I also noticed that the children that I observed had a lot of stuffed animals that they were playing with. The teacher said that she often has puppet shows and the kids love it. I noticed one child was sitting at the table having a conversation with a stuffed beaver. The two twin girls I was observing had a giant stuffed bee; one of the girls would chase after the other with it and pretend to sting them. This shows animistic thinking. This kind of thinking is the belief that inanimate objects are alive. The teacher called all the children over to have story time. The story that she read was about a leprechaun. When the teacher asked where leprechauns lived, one child replied that, “leprechauns live in the grass and run around from tree to tree, they are itsy bitsy and very hard to see.” These children believed that these creatures were real, but they just could not see them. But, the fun with the leprechauns had just begun. To test the children’s belief in the unrealistic, the teacher had the kids make little pots, and then told all of the kids that if they were good, the leprechaun would leave them…

    I set up an appointment with the Kids Club daycare at 9:45 am on November 4th to observe for an hour of toddler classroom who were between three and four years old. The principle gave me a warm greeting and took me to the class and introduced me to the teachers and the children. Everyone there made me feel welcomed. I chose a place where I can sit, observe and write my note as well as to be away from children's sight. In the classroom there were five boys, two girls, and two teachers Ms. Nadia and Ms. Emma. The classroom itself was large and spacious. The classroom is very appropriate for children this age and it has many interesting areas such as a blocks and art area, and children taped some of their previous work in the art area. The color of the class is bright and has interesting posters like calendars with the name of children’s birthdays. Also. There is a toys area that has toys suitable for both boys and girls like cars, animals, and doll. There is a reading area with a little amount of children’s books and stories in reachable…

    Once again, I was placed in Mrs.Metcalfe who teaches second grade at Bens Branch Elementary. Mrs.Metcalfe took attendance while the students waited patiently on the carpet. After she took attendance, she addressed that she had taken some privileges away from the students because the students did not picked up their mess after having centers and would not follow instructions that the teacher gave. She explained that centers might return for the upcoming school year if they behaved properly. After she addressed the issues of the students, she instructed everyone to go back to their desks and waited till they put their thumbs which meant that they were ready for the lesson of the day. Mrs.Metcalfe went up to the front of the class to use the projector and expected her students to follow what she was doing on their worksheets.…
