This has been an amazing week with my students! First of all,
it's been an unusual week because we have had 2 major activities that are very
different from our regular classroom format. The first activity was an
infant/toddler/preschooler panel where we had 3 moms bring in 7 children.
My students were to observe and interact with the kids, watching how they play,
what they are able to do developmentally etc. Both of my students I am "lensing"were
engaged in the activity and participated with the kids. They were two of the most involved students and they shone! The second
activity was where our Psych class planned, organized and put on a party for our special education students. Again, my students participated in a big way! They did their assigned jobs and were fully engaged in the
class. Today we debriefed the party activity in class and students were fully engaged in the class discussion. It is obvious to me that the
practical, hands on, real life stuff is what certain students relate to best.
