Day 1:    11:12-12:50
 On my first at the child center at Cal Poly Pomona, I first received a tour of the center so I could see where the different rooms and areas were. After, they presented me to the teachers and one of the teachers put me in a place to work with the group I was designed.  They had lunch the teachers pretend to eat with them, after eating they go to sleep.

Day 2:   9:20-12:15
On my second day, they put me in a room with bigger kids, I introduced myself with them and I tried to know their names. After that, we took them to play outside the center to a grass area, I had to line them up and we started to sing/talk while walking to the grass area. Before leaving the center we showed them how to make Jello.  

Day 3:    9:15-11:35
On my third day, I went to moonbeam room 2 years old children. When I arrive there the children’s were playing with water and I was wetting them. After we took the kids inside and I read to them a story, they play after.

Day 4:    9:30-11:35
I swing them in the swingers and we took them inside the room. I read to them the story called boo-boo and they were really excited. After the teacher put music and they started to play in different areas.

Day 5:    9:25-11:30
It was like day 4.

Literal (Need to know)     
  • What is the best way separating the kids when fighting?
  • How much money the parents pay to keep their children in the day care?
  • What is the first thing I should do when a children gets hurt?
  • If a child is not following the instruction what should you do?
  • What classes should a person take if they want to take care of children?

 Interpretive
   The most important thing I gained from this experience is that I got the satisfaction of helping children learning new thing such words, shapes, colors, songs, and respecting others.  For me seeing what the kids knew it was impressing because they respect, care, and share each other’s. Showing them that sharing makes everything more fun and happy for everyone it was hard to make some children’s to understand but easy with the most of them.  I really enjoyed being with the children’s making them being happy and telling them what is good to do and what is not go to do.
   
Applied
     I think what helped me pick my topic was the environment. Being around all of these children’s it makes the room and yourself happy, looking at them smiling and happy I get happy too.  Even though I am a volunteer there I felt so happy when they told me teacher for me was the best thing to hear.  As the days pass the kids knows me more as also the teachers which makes everything more easily for them and me.
