The Kindergartners
Once again 8th graders get a chance to go down to the Kindergarten to do activities with the younger students. This allows the Kindergarten teacher to have some help and allows the younger kids to interact with “The Big Kids.”
Mrs. Faivre thinks that it will be a great year and the kindergarteners will get help on their activities and homework. She sees that the kindergartners are happy and try to impress the 8th graders. Some of the benefits for the Kindergartners were they like being with the older kids because they feel more confident with going to school.
The 8th graders have been doing some activities with the kindergartners over the past month. Some activities include reading a book that the 8th graders bring from the library, and sharing

    RC II-6 Self-Concepts

    RC II-8 Social Skills: I would focus this activity on my mobile infants. My activity would be to build a tower with blocks and have each of the children help, add blocks to the tower. This way they are working together to reach the final goal, a tower. They are starting to socialize with each other and play with each other rather than alongside each other, which is why it is developmentally appropriate for them to participate in this…

    Competency Goal #2

    To promote cognitive development, I will provide activities and materials to develop children's curiosity, problem solving and reasoning skills. I will provide a time in our daily schedule for exploring our manipulative cabinet where there are puzzles, magnets, gears, colored counting cubes and blocks. When reading stories I will ask open-ended questions and allow time for discussion. During circle time we will sing many fun songs about the letters of the alphabet and days of the week. Every other week we go to the library and have the librarian read to us. For the child with special needs I will have pencil holders and give extra time to complete their projects.…

    Learning Outcome 4 Assessment Criteria 4.4, 4.2, 4.3

    Before they started reading as a group I encouraged the children to discuss what had happened so far to describe each of the characters etc. Once I was clear and felt that each of the children had participated we started reading. The first Child read.......I tried to encourage him to speak up a little so that the others within the group could hear clearly making it easier to follow. As each paragraph was completed I would quietly praise, maybe ask a question, any words the children struggled with I would encouraged to sound out and break down, in most cases the children were able to work it out in other cases the other children would offer support. As this group was of mixed ability I have found on previous observations it tends to increase patience and understanding towards each other, sometimes the more advanced children find it a little frustrating but they definitely support each other which has many benefits, helping the less advanced children become more confident with reading out loud also gaining a greater interest about the story using discussion, having a joke about the characters and discussing what may happen? How the story could end? What if they were the character in the story?......it very much brings it all to life.…

    Benefits Of Year-Round School

    One of the major benefits of year-round school is that it aids students in a way that they can increase their overall grade. Students are less likely to forget what they have previously learned in school due to the lack of large breaks in the school year. Most importantly, there is more time. More time for school means more time can be devoted to each unit or section of material a teacher is covering. Less pressure to learn information in two weeks or even a month can help students apply their new knowledge to the long-term memory and gives more time for student to comprehend ideas in a more complex manor.…

    Kindergarten-Full Day Versus Half Day

    Kindergarten was originated in 1837 (Burkam 3). Children develop their mental, social, and emotional faculties through play, music, movement, interaction with the outdoors, and opportunities to engage in independent and creative pursuits (Burkam 3). The goal of kindergarten is to prepare children for first grade academics (Burkam 5). Children show great resilience so can therefore adapt to any formal routine, especially education. We must constructively use this critical stage in their lives to have them absorb all the information they can.…

    Elementary Classroom Observation

    Most childhoods are defined by an unabashed innocence that evaporates as we age. When individuals reminisce on the earlier years spent with society; images of freedom and longing often accompany. Elementary schools, especially kindergarten classrooms, are the prime examples to find children in a setting where they interact without outside stimulus. The subculture being observed is a kindergarten class whose predominant identities as children, siblings, and members of society all intertwine. Kindergarteners interact with one another without any of the prejudices of adulthood; the behavior observed is influenced by intermingled peer relationships and a teacher´s positive guidance.…
