It is also an integrated learning style‚ so all the inquiry subjects are connected. It is important to know that children are still preoperational stage according to Piaget. They use their five senses to learn things. It is not important if the child can count on hundred or not or they know how to write the numbers.

While observing the lab preschool her on campus at Central Michigan University I learned a lot. I saw a variety of things from the teachers and staff being concentrated on the children‚ explaining directions multiple times‚ to having an organized agenda planned out ahead.

In these week’s non-experimental topic I choose the ethnography observation rather than applying naturalistic observation.
