Blog 14: Independent Component 1

• • LITERAL
  (a)  I, Sabrina Dalan, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 35 hours and 10 minutes of work.
  (b) My mentor, Jenny Zymora, suggested sites like Pintrest or other blogs that preschool teachers have to come up with fun activities.
  (c) Sabrina's Senior Project Hours
  (d) Most of the time I would be in the classroom, I would help prepare the activities of suggest more activities we could do. I always assisted the children with doing the activities and helping them get the materials they needed. I supervised them when they had scissors and reminded them to put on their aprons when they were painting. I observe how the children interacted with each other.
  • INTERPRETIVE
  This component has been really significant to me because I learned and understand the importance of preschool. It's not just arts and crafts, nap time or playtime. It does not only prepare you for the academic learning such as writing your name, counting, or learning the alphabet. It prepares you for life. Preschool teachers help you develop many life skills.
  
  
  
  
  
   
   
  
  
  
   
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • APPLIED
  How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate this.
  The component helped me understand that the children's fine motor, sensory, social, and emotional development are being developed. I know one of the preschool teachers explained to me how preschool is the foundation of a child's success in school. Without preschool, a child may enter kindergarten without the proper skills needed in life. The activities that we do really practice these certain skills.
