Task 5-
I observed many examples that show
children’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. I observed a
fourth grade classroom and observed students with different level of fine motor
skills. One boy in the classroom has Autism and he had very low fine motor
skills so he uses a computer to type his notes in class. I observed that the
girls were taller and weighed more than boys, which goes with what I read in
chapter three. The teacher let them use a lot of model centers and interviews
to make learning more fun and allow them to experiment socially in their
environment. Children develop at different rates and are developing in
different areas but gradually. Their brains are shaped by activity, culture,
content and experiences. So as teachers it is so important to give students the
opportunity and experiences they need to grow because they may be missing out
on crucial experiences based off their cultures or socioeconomic situations.
