Alex took a bite out of his cheese stick and observed another child pulling their cheese stick into strings and then started copying that child and eating the cheese stick in strands versus just taking bites out of the cheese stick like before. Alex ate all of snack, removed self from table and put cup in sink.

IV. Section 2: Suggested Characteristics and Needs
After the observation of Alex’s “Routine and Transition” into snack time, it is apparent that Alex is a very independent child. Alex did need to be guided in to the correct order as to get ready for snack time. Alex did not want to clean up for snack time, Alex just wanted to go right into snack time. Alex did follow the steps from the teacher as to clean up, then wash hands.

(Going back to section 1, what does the observation suggest in regards to the child’s characteristics of developmental needs? Every episode should show you a characteristic or a need. Most episodes will show you more than 1 characteristic or need. Cover each characteristic or need thoroughly)

    Practitioners will follow the observation cycle to observe, assess and plan to improve the child’s skills and knowledge. Observations can be taken to find out their individual needs, to see if there are any areas the child is struggling in and find out if the child has any additional needs that needs to be supported. The observations are done at early stages so that practitioners can identify any concerns about a child at an early age so that it can be sorted quickly and the child gets the support they need to help them meet their needs. If I observed a child during a literacy activity by reading a story and I found that the child has difficulties in hearing for example when making loud sounds to imitate the story such as “BANG!” the other children had all jumped unexpectedly whereas the other child didn’t, he seemed to have no reaction to the loud noises I had made.…

    PART ONE – What method of evangelism did you use and how did you start the conversation? I used the Friendship method; I was drawn to that method because of the person in which I choose to witness to. My son was not my first choice, but it happen just as it was supposed to. I questioned the friendship method at first, but I came to understand friendship was just a metaphor for friends, family, stranger, and anyone else whom could fit into that category. I picked my son, because I felt he was the right person at that moment to witness to. He and I were engaged in a conversation about angel. Not the angel who are in Heaven, but the angel which there was a TV show that he and I use to love to watch once upon a time. Anyway, he was watching the DVD of the show in his room. There was a part that triggered his curiosity, so he came to ask me a question about it. I knew that was my opportunity to witness to him since he was already on the page about demons. I asked my son what if all of that was true about what was going on in the show, he said some of it is true. I asked him what part he thinks is true, he responded. The part when angel lost his soul. I asked him if angel lost his soul for real what would happen. He said they showed what would happen on the show, angel became a beast named Angelis. After that answer, I asked him, can I share something with you, he said share what? How good God is. “God is a good God; He is always there for you and me. He will give you everything your heart desire, all you have to do is ask. All he asks for in return is your love and devotion to him and only him. He said, you always ask me that. Then, I asked him do he believe Jesus died on the cross for our sins, he answered yes. Do you ever think about giving your life to the Lord? I began to tell him; remember when I told you I received Christ as my savior? It was a life changing experience for me; all kinds of…
