Day 2 - Jeanette B.

I enjoyed interacting with the students on the floor. After breakfast, the students went to circle time to listen to a story. Afterward, they sang a couple of songs. The students were dressed to take pictures for love day. I was thinking to myself the teachers should paint the windows because the kids are dressed-up, and they might not decorate the window right, and they probably get paint everywhere. The children finger-painted the window with pink and red hearts with their hand-prints for their small group activity. The children enhanced their fine motor development skills with finger painting. The toddlers were talking and smiling throughout the activity. They look like they were having fun, and the windows looked beautiful. The experience I learned from this is to let the children explore and be creative.

I also observed the toddlers in the different learning centers. It was nice seeing one of the boys in the kitchen cooking, eating, and washing dishes. Another boy was on the floor reading a book, while a student was matching shapes at the table. For movement, I interacted with all the students singing and dancing. Afterward, I placed paper and bags of markers on the table.  The children began to scribble and color until the CT called them one at a time to come to take a picture. While the children were in the learning center. I interacted with them and asked them questions. I enjoyed my day with the little ones.
