Heaven Holloway English 100 Professor Quirk February 22, 2012 Educating Before School Children within the twenty- first century have made technology their main priority, in such regards as television, computers and more. This is now chosen as the best way to entertain a child over playing outside with friends like in previous decades. With an entertainment industry growing to supply the needs of children watching their programs, they must constantly come up with new concepts and creative cartoons for children. So how could production companies come up with a way to make television positive, but still be unique and draw attention? They have come up with the idea to make television educational for its young viewers.
I even cheer them on when they struggle with a task. To develop a sense of independence and pride, I let the children each day choose the classroom helpers. There are many tasks that the children are able to choose from. I structure the environment to offer opportunities for children to share information about themselves, their families, and experiences. I make it easier for the children to explore new experiences and the environments by making them feel assured of the support and availability of me, thus increasing his confidence.
English is her first and only language and she is confident within the nursery, spending a lot of time in the home corner and playing with the small world toys where she enjoys imaginative play. Sally and her friend Jude enjoy role play taking on the roles of members of the nursery staff. They often incorporate this into their games. Sally works well within the group. She shows increasing independence when selecting and carrying out activities and is always interested and excited to learn.
PLAYFUL LEARNING, PLAYFUL TEACHING: HOW DOES DRAMA BASED AROUND A STORYBOOK SUPPORT THE LEARNING OF CHILDREN SPEAKING ENGLISH AS AN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE? Module Code: Programme: Post Graduate and Professional Graduate Certificate in Education Submission Date: 7.1.13 Student Name: Samantha Blissett Word Count: 3,738 Contents Abstract 3 Introduction 3 Literature Review 4 Methodology 7 Ethical issues 9 Reliability and Validity 9 Findings 10 Observations 13 Discussion 14 Conclusion 16 Bibliography 17 Abstract Most of the current literature supports using drama to enhance the learning of children, with added benefits to second language learners such as reduced anxiety and an opportunity to take risks with their language (Rieg & Paquette, 2009). This research aimed to understand how children and the class teacher of a small, one form entry primary school in East London, felt about the use of drama in lessons and whether it helps children learning English as an additional language. A case study approach was employed with observations and structured interviews of the children and the teacher. The results of the study indicated that drama can be a highly effective tool that the children enjoy taking part in.
These resources provide educational and developmentally positive outcomes as well as non-educational and hinder the developmental outcomes. For example, a child can watch television daily, the content of what the child watches is the most important factor, if the child is watching “Sesame Street” they are actually developing vital educational skills, including, “early literacy and math skills” (Berk, L. E. (2010)). “Sesame Street” actually assists with “academic progress in elementary school” (Berk, L. E.
Marcela Perez Teacher Assistant Ketchings Cradle Child Dev. February 2, 2009 I am very interested in the teacher assistant position advertised in 35 S. 19th Ave. in Maywood, IL. Please accept my application for the position as teacher assistant at your daycare although I have little experience but I enjoy learning and trying new things. I would like to develop strong teaching skills while creating a fun learning and challenging experience for young motivated children. The preschool/daycare age group is very inspiring to me, because although I have a child of my own, children are very interested in learning new things and they are also very expressive.
module 5Child Growth & Development: Ages and Stages Module 1 Assessment Handout Diversity in the Classroom Children start developing their attitudes about others and themselves by the age of two. Providers and teachers can have a powerful positive influence on those attitudes. In your activities and classroom you should provide multicultural, non-stereotyping materials and activities that will: * Support each child’s sense of self and family * Teach children to accept and appreciate differences and similarities between people, and * Help children understand beliefs and customs different from their own. Not all materials produced for children are appropriate. Be especially careful with materials that are more than ten years old.
Pictures: Pictures are used alongside words to make communication more easier and understandable. In fact in my placement school, the reading scheme that is used starts the children off with ‘picture only’ books so the children are encouraged to talk about the pictures in the book and make their own story up and ask questions. Technology: Computer programmes (apps and games), interactive whiteboard, story tapes, cds are all ways of stimulating a child’s communication development. These days a lot of programmes are interactive and children can hear and respond to different applications made specially to help develop their
We will follow up with the discussion of what they found in their own home that started with the assigned letter. Evaluation of Activity During the course of this Activity I had two students that performed well. Tony and Eli learned the letter “A” and found several objects in the room that began with the letter. Overall the lesson was fun for the kids and they enjoyed the coloring and exploring the classroom. I think for the younger children I will need to implement more colorful objects and thing for them to feel, touch and smell for recognition of the letters we are learning.
I also ensured that they both worked together and gave praise and encouragement whenever possible, making it an enjoyable experience. Discuss three of the above Link the activity to a current/relevant theorist: - Tina Bruce believed that children should be able to explore, investigate their own ideas through play. Identify how this planned learning experience can be developed further: - This planned learning experience could be developed further by providing the children with paper and pens or cutting from magazines and allowing them to make some dominoes for themselves, giving them satisfaction that it can be done with some adult supervision. Consultation with adults/children I consulted with my mentor as I had previously noticed that Child (I) loves doing jigsaws but I was trying to avoid bring out this activity and bring in a new experience for her. We both agreed that Child (I) enjoys working with adults and that this would work well if I also joined in on the game.
