Chapter 1 - Learning about Children

I'm finally getting on here and remembered my password from last year. You've all been pretty good with getting most of the assigned work in on time. Thank you. It makes my life a lot easier believe me.
Here's what we've done and where you should be now:
Learning Journal #1 - Write a description of your last interaction with a child? What happened? How did you feel? How do you think the child felt?

Assignment #1 - Find photos or baby albums of yourself as a preschooler or talk to a parent/guardian. In 2 pages, reflect on what you were like as a child. Discuss physical development, social, emotional, favorite toys, memories, babysitters etc. In the closing paragraph write your own definition of childhood.

Assignment #2 - Read and finish sheet on "Don't Give Kids thier own TV's"

Question on page 42 #1,2, and 3 and the Observing and Interacting exercise.

PLEASE KEP UP TO DATE WITH YOUR WORK. YOU WILL BE PUTTING ADDED STRESS ON YOURSELF IF YOU DON'T.
