Seuss. After reading, I will have the children do a math activity where they will begin sorting out the goldfish into their color groups, then have them to count by the different colors. Last I will have them put the fish on their bar graph. I would ask if the children had any questions. I would then ask the children to sort the fish into their color groups. We would discuss the different colors if they were missing colors that their friends had. Once fish was sorted into color groups, I would tell them to go ahead and count the number of redfish that they had, and then I would help them, or they would write the number down on the red fish on their graph. We would do this step for each of the colors until we had done every color possible. Then the students would get out their crayons and color in the number of boxes on their graph that they had written below their fish. Then they would get to eat their goldfish. Once everyone finished with their graph, we would all bring them to circle time where we would discuss how many they each had, which colors they had the most of, which colors they had the least. The graphs would then be hung on the bulletin board for everyone to …show more content…
Seuss at circle time. Once we finish reading the story, we will then review and discuss opposites. Once the children seem to have an understanding of opposites and can identify left from right, I will then tell them that we are going to create our feetprints. They will be instructed that they will choose a color to paint their left foot first. They will then be told to put their footprint on their paper. Then we will paint our right foot and place it on the paper. After they are done with their feet prints, they will clean their feet off and then paint with brushes to add to their photo. They will then move to group tables where all of their supplies are. During creation, I will go around the room providing

    I would do an activity like this after checking for prior knowledge (a story about zoo animals or a field trip to the zoo). In addition to open-ended questions and guessing games, I play the “Memory game.” First we look at all the pictures (starting with about twenty cards or ten mates). Then we place the cards face down and I model by picking up a card and turning it over. Then I turn over another and then the first child follows what I modeled. The children really enjoy this game. Their memory starts kicking in once I turn over quite a few…

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…

    Teaching Strategies: Read the story “The Foot Book” to the children every day for a week. On the first day read the story in its entirety, afterward ask the children open-ended questions about the story. On the second day re-read the story in its entirety, when you finish show the children the pictures and have them retell the story based on the pictures they see. On the third day read a few sentences then stop and have the kids tell the next few sentences, taking turns between the teacher and the children. On the fourth day the teacher reads a word or two then stops allowing the kids to finish the sentence, alternating again between teacher and students. On the fifth day the teacher is to only turn the pages as the students tell the story.…

    I help children develop cognitive skills by encouraging them to try things out. For example, when it snowed this winter the children placed snowballs in the freezer and discovered that they froze into solid ice. They thought that the snow would stay the same rather than freeze, and were surprised that the snow froze. We discussed what happened and why it may have happened. Cognitive skills are used daily in our classroom and the children have fun developing them. Creativity is in the materials and interest areas throughout our classroom. Children have access to art supplies to create their own artwork. Paints, markers, pencils, crayons, and paper are available for children all the time. Many types of music are sung and played during the day. Children can use instruments and scarves to move with the music. Many different kinds of clothing can be found in the dramatic play area.…

    In early childhood research, there are four developmental domains that researchers highlight: Physical, psychosocial, creative, and cognitive. In this paper, I will be exploring the four developmental domains using Nicolson et al (2002) who defines and provides examples of these four domains and associated concepts in her book “Through the Looking Glass.” Furthermore, I will be concentrating on the cognitive development of preschool age children (4-5 years old).…

    Aims: The aim of this assignment is to demonstrate and plan a story to read to a group of children aged 2 and half to 4. I chose this age group because this is the group I work with on a daily bases from 9:30 to 12:30 five days a week. I am picking a story called “Oh Dear” by Rod Campbell who is a Scottish writer and illustrator of several popular children's books including the classic lift-the-flap board book “Dear Zoo”. As it is a story that helps the children with learning the different animals on the farm and also encourages the children to use their imaginations as they lift up the different flaps in the book to see what is behind them. Which Maria Montessori says “Imaginative teaching materials are the heart of the process”. All of Rod Campbell’s “books have simple text often with repeating phrases which is ideal for pre-readers” and will also Help the children with langue and intellectual skills. “The child proceeds at his own pace in an environment controlled to provide means of learning” -Maria Montessori. this book also helps the children physically as they have to get up to lift up the flaps on the book “movement is therefore the essential of life education cannot be conceived of ad a means to moderate or worse to inhibit movement; it should only function as an aid to a better expenditure of energy whilst allowing it to develop normally” -Maria Montessori pg 102 discovery of a child. “The aim of the children who persevere in their work with an object is certainly not to “learn”; they are drawn to it by the needs of their inner life, which must be recognized and developed by its means.” – Maria Montessori pg 120 discovery of a child. To develop their attention spans…
