Research Simulation

I never worked with small children before but I was in the Americorps Program working with Chamber's Middle School and I work with teenagers assisting the teacher in teaching reading.  I have a B.S. in Social Work I went into that field because I love working with people in general wether they are children, teenagers or adults.  I like to help and do for other peoples and I also know that I want to work with the little children and this will be a challegene for me because there are so many childre in school with disabilities problems and they will need that one on one help.  I really had not quite made up my mind about what particular issue that I would like to research on because I am interesting in knowing everything about the early childhood program.

Subtopics
1.  In what ways can the teacher help build the children social skills.
2.  How does role play help develop the children social skills.
3.  What are the disadvantages of children not developing their social skills on time.


I think I would like to do some research on social development and some issues I would bring up will be how does play help the children develop  their social skills, What are the benefits of children developig social and how do the children get along with their peers and with adults. Children need to develop not only their social skills but also their motor skills, and their cognitive skills. Because they must learn to think for themselves and learn how to think out side the box. They need their motor skills to be able move around. 

Research

Looking forward to learning more about research and how to ask the right questions to get the right information

My Support

The daily environment that is supportive to me and the ways the factors provide support is my children during their chores around the house, while I cook when I come home from work. For instance, if the chores are complete when I get home frome work, I wouldn't have to do it. Therefore, I can help my children with their homework and including mines as well. Also prepare dinner and spend some quality time with them.

 My co-workers pulling together as a team when one fall behind. For instance, if one of my co-workers fall short or lacking in his or her work, I would give my support and effort to help them to recovery to complete his or her task or work.

Without these support it would be difficult for me to accomplish my work and completing all task or work of my children chores and my co-workers work on my own. However, I will need their support in every areas.

Without the support of my children and co-workers the impact it would have on my life if the support was gone is I wouldn't have the emotional and physical support that I need and my work will fall behind. Also I would have to come with a time schedule to complete all task or work that needs to be done.

'My Connections To Play"

Play energizes us and enlivin us. It eases our burdens. It renews our natural sense of optimism and opens us up to new possibilities.

Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.

A child loves his play, not because its easy , but because its hard.

Play was supported by my parents and grandparents by letting me go outside and play with other childrens along with my sisters and brothers. We played hide and seek, kickball, and teacher. Play is still the same some children go outside and play, but not all of them when they are not in front of a tv or on the computer playing games. Some children still do role play such as Cowboys, Indians, and Teacher. My hope for the young is that they still continue to play because it is healthy to their developement and learning stages. My thoughts on role play is that it helps you to see things in a diffrent light, it help you to grow, and it helps you in your relationship with other people.

Relatonship Reflection

Relationships ae important t me because relationships help people to grow and connect with each other. In a relationship you will find out more about the person or the people you are in a relationship with. You will find out what they like to do and what they don't like and how much they will  put up with. When you are in a relationship you have to have trust, communication and feelings of love for your love ones and for your friends. Relationships can be healthy and unhealthy and what I mean about that is if it is a healthy relationship that means everybody is gettig alone no fighting or arguements of course there will be some fussing but not enough to break up a relationship or stop talking to your families and friends.
My relationship with my realitives and with my co-workers and friends are very postive. My relatinship with my children is very good because we communicate and talk about things that is important to them, I also let them know that I may not agree with everything that the may do but I am still their mother and I will stand by them and for a single mom of four I think I have done a good job at raising some well mannered children. My relationship with my family is ok we all get alone with each other and we do family gatherings and trips together but we still do our own thing. My relationship with my co-worker and friends is that we help and respect one another and try to help each other when needed. The challenges I see in communicating with each other about the things that matter and just being truthful.

Testing for Inteligence

All children are born diferent and they are uique in their own special way. Children develop different and they learn to accomplish different task and do things in their way.  I believe thats how childrn should be measure or asess by but not by what another cild has done or accomplish.

Assessing in African schools is a difficult aspect to assess eventhough quality learning has taken place. Student achievement has been assessed by the size of the class and by the budget. AFR/SO provides encouragement and support to review student assessment in two ways. 1) natioal assessments hat appraise the prformance ofall or part of the educational systemso that schools can be held accountable for results. 2)cntinuous clasroom assessment that enables teachers to monitor student performance.

The concerns that I have is can we be fair when it comes to assessment. All actors must be considerd like the child environment, and background.
