Practicum III

Feedback:

New class with all new children. It is exciting to join them again. In week 1, I started building the relations with the children because that is most important to gain their trust.

Comment: in above picture, it was interesting to watch what olive was making. I was watching and asked Oliva what’s going on it seems interesting to me, she got so excited and started explaining me that it’s chocolate cake and sticks on top are the candles that I love most.

Comment: During the lunch, interesting questions were asked by Luca, why there is no one inside the car? where they all gone? we gave other children chance to answer.

Augus said: Cars are on the roadside because everyone is in the park, which is next to the daycare.

Annabelle: Cars are parked because it’s all of teachers and teachers are inside.

Logan: There is nobody inside because they came to pick somebody up and now, they are inside here to pick them.

First picture of sky because Luca was so interested in the colors of sky here. As Luca called me and showed me look the sky is grey, I asked why it’s looking grey. Luca said you don’t know because it is raining, and he don’t like it. I asked why, Luca said because the blue color is hidden in between that is sky.

Second Picture: When Wren said her husband is driving a POM POM 🙂

Third Picture: It was little smoky outside so children made colorful blocks and telling everyone that this is fire machine which will protect us from fire.

Comment: Logan draws this picture. On the left side of the pic. Logan draws his mom and on the other side it’s Lizard with its long tongue. Logan saw it outside when I was playing and walking. Logan explains it got 3 legs, 1 nose, 1 stomach and 3 hands.

Kiera making bracelet and teaching me also how to make one. Let’s learn how to make it. Kiera said first twist from the corner so that beats won’t fall and start adding beats the one you like because that’s how it going to look pretty. Keira made one bracelet and showing me with excitement that it looks like Rainbow. I asked why you choose rainbow Kiera said because she her mum showed it for the first time from the house window when she was 3.
