This week  we reviewed the stages of pregnancy. For our final we need to make a presentation about them. It is crazy how fast a baby develops. We learned so much this semester.

This week we created toddler learning environments. That is basically a daycare for toddlers. A lot goes into a daycare. We learned about all the components that toddlers need in a daycare. I had to put together a PowerPoint, with my partner about a toddler leaning environment. It took a lot of work and I learned so much.

This week we did a bunch of toddler crafts. one of the crafts we did was making a turkey out of paper. To make this experience more authentic we had to cut everything out with our non-dominant hands. It was very difficult to do this and it made my hand hurt. This made me realize a little part of what it is like to be learning how to do thing that are new. We also learned about making schedules and menus for toddlers at daycare. It would be hard to have to run a daycare for toddlers.

This week we made toddler lesson plans. As table groups we made up a lesson designed to teach simple math. We had to teach the lesson to the class. Every table was given shape blocks and had to sort them and make patterns with them. I never realized how challenging it is to get an entire class to listen and follow directions. Teaching teenagers is hard I can't imagine hoe hard it is to teach a bunch of toddlers.

This week we learned about toddlers. It is crazy how fast their emotions can change. They throw temper tantrums to express their frustration or anger. We also watched The Little Mermaid and compared Ariel to a toddler. It is amazing how much they have in common.

This week we got to play with many things that toddlers play with. We learned how they play. We also learned what skills these toys develop. Something as simple as playing with shaving cream can develop a lot for a child. They work on many skills when they play.

This week we made infant learning environments. It was amazing to see how much stuff they need. I can't believe that there is only two teachers assigned to eleven infants. It must be crazy watching so many kids. Infant centers must be really expensive to make. It is very interesting to learn about what goes into childcare.
