Feburary 18, 2014

When I got to the preschool, I was happy to see the kids and so were they. Every time I go they always come and give me hugs and ask if I can play with them. We went to play on the swings and they all wanted to have a turn but some were getting mad and pushing because they wanted to go first. My mentor suggested that I should have them form a line in alphabetic order. I did just that and they seemed to be fine with it. However, some didn't want to get off the swing after their turn was up so I told them they would have another turn after everyone went. I was kind of unsure about that because I wasn't sure if the kids were going to be okay with that and I didn't know if they would all be able to have a second turn because we had a few minutes before we had to go inside. I spoke with my mentor and she said she would give us more time until everyone went twice. From now on if they want more time on the swings, I'm going to give them two turns.

Twelfth Day February 4th, 2014

February 4th was my twelve day at the preschool. When I got their the director of the school, who is my mentor as well, told me that the kids had been asking for me. They all ran up to me when i got there, it was as if they hadn't seen me in weeks when it was only days. As always my mentor always gives me advice on how to act towards the kids. For example if they need a piece of type they have to ask and say please and thank you so that their manners will evolve and stay with them. Each time I go theres always some type of situation where it involves using manners and almost everything we do on a daily basis involves using manners.

Eleventh Day January 28, 2014

Tuesday January 27th was my eleventh day doing my hours at Hillside Preschool. When I got there I went to play with the kids and I watched them go down the slide. I also helped them swing on the swings by teaching them how to swing their legs back and forth while they are swinging. Then we went inside and played card games and puzzles which the kids enjoy to play.
