From a parent of a Head Start student to a teacher of the Head Start program I can clearly say that Head Start has made a difference in my family life. I also talk to other parents who have children in Head Start and the program help their family. Head Start is truly a wonderful program that every young child needs to attend.

Observing children was very interesting experience. It was important to understand how different children view concepts than adult. I observed a Pre-K class in la petite academy on July 02, 2010 and that observation was rewarding experience because I could see different behavior and reaction of children and how each person reacts differently to certain behaviors. According to Eggen and Kauchak, “students get a feeling about whether or not their classroom is a desirable place to learn.” Children were safe and secured this was shown by their way to express themselves and self-esteem. A strong sense of attachment and belonging was shown in that Pre-K class between the teacher Miss Samantha and her children.
Willy asks his neighbor to take a state test for one of his sons because he wants his son to get a good grade. These lessons that Willy is teaching his sons will not help them in life. In fact it will probably debilitate them. The American dream in which Willy and many other men of the era desires is one in which the children are successful in life and are able to help the parents in old age. By the lessons Willy is teaching his sons, he is keeping himself from
He even said sentences and words that my family and I had never heard come out his mouth. It is just unbelievable that my brother knows some words like “possible”, “ awesome”, and many more. We always thought that those words were harder for him to pronounce and even hard to understand for him. This has proved that a child behaves better when he or she is with the same age group.

The more children know about their world, the easier it is for them to read and learn when they get to school. You have an important role to play in helping children learn new information, ideas, and vocabulary and how to use this knowledge to become full participants in their own learning. You can help children to connect new information and ideas to what they already know and understand. As a teacher, you and the children's parents and caregivers are partners in helping to get the children ready for future school success. Good communication with parents and caregivers can build support for and strengthen the important work that you are doing in the classroom.
He says that most of those children who have problems in speaking have at least some relatives in their family that possessed intellectual minds. Also, it is a failed idea to announce a child is autistic by just look at the symptoms. Parents at all time always concern about how smart their children are. They not only want their child to look unique outstanding but also to outfox other children. Hence, it is understandable for parents to go insane and crazy when their children seem not to start talking at the age that others usually do.
The observer will either mimic or avoid the actions based on the consequences that the person who initially performed the action received. This can be a very useful tool in the development of child rearing. Through observational learning, children learn valuable life-skills at a very young age.

From coloring to lesson plans, I enjoy it all. Working with children is what I look most forward to. I work well with them, and I love showing them how to do new things.

Throughout my twelve years of school there have been four teachers that have really stood out to me, and I hope to impact my students’ lives as much as they have mine.

These young children are learning through investigation, experimentation and inquiry. They are starting to think logically and understand abstract ideas. They are learning to develop friendships, and fine tune their social behavior as noted by Eliason & Jenkins (2012). Early childhood teachers need to formulate and develop their curriculum based on the developmental needs, interests, strengths, learning styles, cultural background, and previous learning experiences of their students, understanding that all children learn differently, but all children can learn and be successful.
