Today at the setting was a good day. The children had already gotten used to me and were comfortable around me. As well as teaching the children, I was learning a fair amount myself too.
Most of the day involved me being an extra pair of hands when needed.

A child (A – aged four) had gotten up during circle time, to simply walk around the room. I walked up to him asking him to come and sit back down because one of the other practitioners was about to read a book. He responded and said “But miss I don’t want to sit down anymore, it is boring!”

The practitioners mainly wanted to see how I worked with the children without being told what to do by them. I used my initiative and did what I thought was necessary. For example, I helped the children that I could see needed help. One of the main goals that one of the ladies had set me was to help the children without stopping their individual learning.

I quickly got the hang of this, as many of the children had been showing me where items should go as they knew more than me at this stage.
