Review your plans, notes, and artifacts. Make notes in each section to help you analyze what went well
and to highlight possible changes.
Schedule and Planning
Ms. Ashley followed her schedule normally today
which cleared up questions I had about her regular
schedule and day with the children. (ECD 105
Guidance-Classroom Management
scheduling a consistent, but flexible daily
routine)
The children play in centers from 9 AM until 10:45
AM and I want to use that time to add in small
groups. (ECD 105 Guidance-Classroom
Management scheduling a consistent, but
flexible daily routine)
The children are outside from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM
which is an opportunity for outdoor movement since
only the 4K classes are outside at that time. (ECD
105 Guidance-Classroom Management
scheduling a consistent, but flexible daily
routine)
The children never went to the art center. I want to
make it interesting for them to go. (ECD 132

Teacher-Child Interactions
Ms. Ashley suggested sharing after Emma and
Raelyn couldnt find a way to solve the problem
when Emma and Raelyn fight over a Barbie doll
(Powerful Interactions Solve Problems
Together)
Emma and Raelyn asked me to play with them and
asked me to be the mommy in their house
(Powerful Interactions Staying in the
moment to make connections with children)
Niko had an outburst playing with blocks after Alex
knocks them over and Ms. Ashley walks over gives
Niko the words to say to let Alex know how he feels
and offers him the option of going to the safe place
(SCECA Conference Heidi Condrey talked
about giving children words to express how
something made them feel)
Assessment
I still didnt see any assessments during this
observation since Ms. Ashley was leaving early
I want to see assessments during the next
observation (NAEYC Code of Conduct I-1.6
To use assessment instruments and
strategies that are appropriate for the

Teamwork
Ms. Ashley informed me that Ryans home language
is Portuguese which allowed me to get books with
his home language (NAEYC Code of Conduct I-
1.10 To ensure that each childs culture,
language, ethnicity, and family structure are
recognized and valued in the program.)
Plans/Materials for Next Visit
Take more photos of the classroom
Bring note taking materials
Look for assessments used
children to be assessed, that are used only
for the purposes for which they were
designed, and that have the potential to
benefit children.
Successes and Revelations, Questions and
Confusions
I want to know how to deal with the children when
one laughs at another when they are hurt.
I want to know how to deal with Emma and Raelyn
being clingy to me. (NAEYC Code of Conduct I-
1.3- To appreciate the vulnerability of children
and their dependence on adults.)
