Duration of Activity: Start: 9:15am End: 10:10amA thorough description of the play dynamics:
As Christine is playing with 3 girls she seems to be enjoying that free time very well. Christine is using her gross motor skills to build blocks and seems to be building perfectly except for one thing, she is building them to high and does not seem to understand why they fall and she gets frustrated. As she gets frustrated she realizes that it is not worth being mad and she builds them back in an instant. Her peers are complaining about her because she lies to get what she wants and she is constantly taking things without asking from her friends. Even though Christine is aware of the rules she is constantly breaking them and playing unfair. Another peer went with her and started playing unfair as well and Christine disliked that her friend was playing that way

She did get frustrated when the blocks fell but got over it quickly. When one of her peers went in between the game and practically ruined her game she was upset, and did not realize that she did the same thing when she did not let other children play with the toys. She does share toys but only if they remind her to share. Christine seems to play rough because she takes things without asking and bothers the other children. The adults at the center seem to be clear on the rules and remind them to share, or how many children can play in one section, remind them to clean up their belongings, and no other types of inappropriate play such as running, yelling across the classroom, and play

Children from birth to 5 years need people who help them play, places to play and materials/ resource for play. The adult is very vital to these 3 needs since they are the providers of these needs. Adult initiated play is important for another reason. It creates the stepping stones, which helps the child learn and develop towards the early learning goals. Adult initiated play activities are usually based on the professional understanding of what children should learn, and what experiences they should have. Through these activities, children…

    The child I chose to observe was a 6 year old boy that I will refer to as Timmy. Timmy is an intelligent, active little boy who reportedly struggles with behavior. Timmy lives with his parents. He has two 14 year old half sisters one of each belonging to his mom and dad prior to them meeting and getting married. The sisters live in the home with Timmy part time. I observed Timmy in his afternoon childcare classroom from 10:55am-11:55am. The classroom was spacious with large windows along one of the walls over looking the playground. The remainder of the walls displayed art work created by the children. The room had clearly defined centers such as a Writing center with pencils, colored paper and pumpkin shaped paper punchers. A Library with two small couches, a house plant and an assortment of books. A Sensory center with orange water, small real pumpkins and circle shaped measuring utensils. A Block center with cars, a long wooden ramp, safety glasses and large brick blocks. The classroom also had Dramatic play, Art, Group and Science centers.…
