Senior Project Update

(1) What are you currently doing in your independent component? 
 I am volunteer at Cal Poly Center, doing more hours to learn more and gain children trust. I would like to volunteer in a kindergarten school to see what would be the results and focused on how can preschool help the succeed on children future. Going to the center is fun and the most important thing is that every time there is something new that I have to learn. 

(2) What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would say was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project?  The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November.  Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.

So far, this video has helped me to know more about the importance of the education in early years. It show a graph and is very clear explaining how they learn in the early years (preschool) to be better in the school years. It also explains how the brain is developing and helping them for future. The book help me a lot to see how to be a good teacher, it has the scheduled how a center should operate and what a teacher should do in that time. Is very  easy to understand. 

(3) Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did.  For example, a photo of something you working on for your independent component or your notes from the video you watched.

The book actually is helping me to do the job right or better, I learn what to do when an emergency happens  how to control a situation, and many others things that I didn't realize I would do. This picture is where I volunteer.
