Preschool Classroom Observation

Preschool Facility Observation Paper On September 14th, 2015 I observed a classroom at Weslie Way Preschool. The preschool classroom consisted of six students, but only five of them were present on the day that I did my observation. The group consisted of two girls and three boys that were all four years old. Later on in my observation, a firefighter came to talk to the students about fire safety.

Student E was incredibly intelligent for his age group and I predict that he will have a very successful academic career. He was able to grasp the letter concept easily and went above and beyond by writing out his entire name. A weakness he may encounter is not being able to effectively communicate. His shyness got the best of him at times and it was obvious that he wanted to play with Students A and B during playtime, but he quickly gave up when he felt the slightest feeling of
