Observations and Measurements

The observation #4 was done in the afternoon class. I walked in during large group circle time activities. I saw children were sitting on the floor. The head teacher sat in the front of the classroom, and other teacher sat in the back row. The teacher started group conversation by checking in how children were doing and talking about the day, weather, and activities. She then read a story. When she finished reading, the children started to sing The Five Little Pumpkin. “Do you want to do…

When I was in fourth grade I participated in an autistic awareness group. I was one of five leaders in our organization. We went from class to class talking about how autistic children are people too and how they only want to be accepted. We talked to all grades ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade. We would enter the classroom and talk to the kids for about an hour each time. The other children would ask questions about the autistic children and then we would leave. I volunteered to…

The observation was conducted at the Center for Child and Family Studies. The observations of the children were conducted using two methods. The first method of observation was running record global observations. During this observation, the child is observed for a total of 5 minutes. This method involves recording everything in the order it happens with as much detail as possible. Specific behaviors are highlighted throughout the observation. The second method of observation was time sampling…

used the most and what aren’t being used as much. This would allow you to then come up with ideas of what needs to be improved or changed in certain areas of the environment to maximise the children’s learning experiences. • During transition. Observations are used during transitions to make sure the children are not frightened or worried when they experience a change and are fully prepared and happy to welcome the transition. You would have to observe each child individually because each…

independent living meeting that took place in our office this week but I didn’t get a chance to sit in on it. Lastly I attended court with my supervisor because she had to testify for a custody battle. B. I honestly didn’t really feel anything about my observations this week because I didn’t see much. However, I did enjoy shopping for children this week. I’m sure they are going to love all of the clothes we bought for them.…

Observing young children interact with toys, peers, and themselves are all very important observations; however, one observation that is more vital is the child’s interaction with the teacher, paraprofessionals, teacher’s aids and any other adult in the child’s life during the school day. It can be hard for teachers to remain unbiased when recording the interaction between himself or herself and a child. Nevertheless, it is vital for these records to say unbiased because they help teachers pick…

My observation was done on a Pre-K class room at a local Kinder Care Learning Center around 4:30pm in the afternoon. During this time the teachers are preparing the children to leave for the day. The class room was set up to show that the kids were preparing for regular school and not just spending their entire day napping and singing songs. The room had about 6 windows that allowed a lot of natural light, there were 2 square tables with at least 6 little chairs at each table, and a small round…

On April 26th, I noticed that there were more people watching me and fellow workers work. These people were for some reason talking to us and were taking notes. These men told us that they were investigators, they were talking notes on our working conditions. They also interviewed us to take notes from the workers the working conditions. The investigators have also noticed that some of of us were not in good shape, like if were underweight for their age. They also noticed that many workers…

Observation of Sydney Donner For the assignment I observed my niece Sydney Donner, however, I took myself out of being a family member and became an individual who was just analyzing her. Sydney is a four year old little girl, who is full of energy which shows in my observation. I observed her quite early, but this did not cease her from being the hyper child I know. I observed her at her house during/after breakfast time. Even though I am the child’s aunt, her mother did not mind me observing…

The age of the children I observed were around the age three to five years old, preschool age. I arrived at 3:30 pm, and the children were all sitting in the carpet. It was around reading time. Some children had books and were sitting on the carpet, while others were sitting on a couch reading, or picking out a book from the shelf. One girl on the carpet was talking to another girl about wanting to eat chicken nuggets, and imitated eating nuggets. After the childrens read for several minutes, an…
