1.  What is your essential question?

              How can preschool help a child to succeed in early elementary school?

2.  What is your second answer to your essential question (write your second answer in a complete sentence)?

My second answer to my essential question is the development of social skills in preschool will help them in the early years of elementary school.   

3.  What are three details to support or justify your second answer (details are examples or facts)?

·         Children who don’t interact with others will have a hard time in early elementary school, by feeling insecure, being scared, not talking, not participating, and not having friends.

·         First of all the child needs to be confident with themselves, if this is an issue they are more likely to be lonely and hating everyone. If the child doesn’t cooperate, is going to be hard to be in groups with others or participate with others. Communication is important, if the child doesn’t express himself his idea, feelings, and knowledge would not be heard and this child would have a hard time in the early years of elementary school.

·         When a child enters into elementary and they are not social with others they become to get frustrated and suddenly their self-esteem goes down, wanting them to not like school. Also they do poorly on their assignments and test. 

4.  What source helped you prove this answer is justified for your essential question?

             Source 68, because it was an article on how social skills are really important through the entire life. Also it has some examples of what to see if a child is not developing social skills and how to help them.

            I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by doing a lot more research on development of social skills in preschoolers, because I currently do not have much research on that. I would also plan to continue studying my answer 2 by using my IC 2 to give me an in depth answers on social skills and why they are important.

Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

1. Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.
            Since I didn't have the chance on getting a college course, I decide to look for a training video that will help me with my project. Also I want to contact the Pomona Unified School District to know if I can contact an specialist on early childhood development.

2. Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement? 
            I think that I will meet the 30 hours because I hope that the video training help me with couple of hours because I want like a course but in a video that shows me what to learn. Also if I get to contact someone in the feel, teacher specialist on childhood development I think I would spend much time with her/him. 

3. How does your independent study component relate to your working EQ? 
           This relate to my Essential Question because I want to find a video that will teach me some answers for my EQ. For example i would like to hear some of the skills that they develop and why they are important. Also how to work with children and the techniques on teaching. With the specialist I will learn more because i'm going to be able to see and ask questions. I think that it will help me the best because the specialist job is to understand the learning process of the children.
