One day plan
Did the schedule go as planned?
Yes. The routine is supposed to be consistent and the teachers tried their best to keep the same routine.
Did you have to make last minute changes?
Yes.
Why?
Half of the children woke up 30 minutes earlier than usual, so the teacher and I let them
to do have quiet time instead of
pushing putting them back to sleep again.
Such as reading, playing with puzzles, and a card game in the corner of the classroom. This isn't a complete sentence. In informal speech, it might be okay if you added "things" ("Things such as reading, playing puzzles..."), but better is: "Half of the children woke up 30 minutes earlier than usual, so the teacher and I let them have quiet time instead of putting them back to sleep again, letting them read, play with puzzles, and do card games in the corner of the classroom."
What did you learn from tracking /observing the schedule?
First, I could see the team work for managing the classroom thought the day. For example, while one teacher was doing a "circle time," This is better in quotes because it a phrase that may not be understood to outsiders. The quotes signal that fact. the other teacher prepared lunch for the children. As another example, one teacher cleaned up after the meal and scanning room a whole the classroom. The other supervised the toileting in the washing room. I learned about how teamwork was important to manage the classroom. It's necessary to know what the co-workers were doing and thinking at the same time. Second, I realized how the manager manage the daycare centre. She opened the centre, had a classroom as an ECE teacher, cared for all of the classrooms in the building and answered the phone from outside and taking care of practicum students. Her responsibilities were required multitasking and she seemed to have the confidence to take care of people, including the children. Finally, I could see myself abjectly objectively thought out through this observation. During the day, I was too busy to reflect on myself think back to myself in a practicum. Therefore, it was a good opportunity to look back my work in the centre. My strength was to keep myself busy. I'm always looking for a job and doing it. On the other hand, as a practicum student, I should've had interacted with children more as a practicum student during free play time.
