of what you were talking about. In my Human Growth & Development class I learned the
conception to early adolescence, including the study of physical, social, emotional, cognitive,
and language development, also children's play. This prepared me for my next course, because I
had some observation hours. My next course was child development 120, In this course I
learned about the role of the early childhood professional and relationship to expectations of the
field. For example, I did research on daycares and I did field hours. My 107 course taught me
health safety and nutrition of infant, toddlers, preschoolers, and school age children. In this
course I learned how to child proof and make healthy meals for children. Course 143 Science
and Math taught me how to plan a variety of developmentally appropriate curriculum and
experiences in math and science as well as writing assignment on what math and science mean to
me. In course 149 creative activities for the young I have learned and plan creative experiences
that allow children to play with music, movement, and art. Ive been able to implement these
activities with children 2 through 8. In course 201 observation, Assessment, and documentation
to support young children & families I learned how to observation, assess and document
development of young children in order to make appropriate curriculum plan for young children.
course 205 Development of exceptional child, I learned about children whose development is
not of the normal patterns. An example of that would be children that are vision or hearing

Community Relations help with the importance of building positive relationships between
children, families, and community, and the ability diversity.

procedures, and the role of a teacher. During my pre practicum course I have learned to provide
developmentally appropriate play based activities that support all developmental domains, such
as cognitive, language, physical, social, and emotional to address the needs of all children. This
course along with other course emphasize on becoming and implementing the NAECY
standards. For instance, I did 45 hours of observing children in the classroom setting and also
planned and implemented age and developmentally appropriate activities as well as oral
presentations and written assignments. During my course I have taking several workshops and
received certificates and credit through the Gateways program for begin a member. To name a

development, learning and behavior. Also I attended, Transitioning from Early Intervention:
What Every Parent Should Know, this workshop talked about preschool inclusion benefits for
