As I ventured into the classroom for a second time, I was again greeted with "Come play with me", however this time it was, "Ms. Kelly, Ms. Kelly - Come play with me!" I was excited the children remembered me and joined in their enthusiasm of an Easter egg hunt immediately.
As I was in the classroom for the second time and will consistently be in this classroom, I am trying to observe the children, getting to know their learning styles and needs. The classroom seems to model after a set of dominoes. The children can topple each other over in a matter of seconds. If one child hits, another does. If one child cries, another does. If one child screams, another does. I again worked on choice of words with the children, modeling myself.
I will continue to observe and monitor growth (informally) over the next few months. I'm interested in going in at different times of the day to see how the children may act differently after nap, towards the end of the long day (6:00pm).
