Sarah T- Day Two

Today I went back to the Dora Reed Children's Center. I was in a two year old room today. It was fun but quite exhausting. I was talking to the assistant in class today and heard about a program that they have to use to assess the children's achievement. It requires the students to complete the exact task asked of them at the time of the assessment regardless how many times you have seen them do it before. It set up according to the age of the child. The teachers then give ideas to the parents to help them work with their child to complete the task. Its just another form of standardized testing. The children in the classroom were awesome. There was one three year old in the classroom. He was so smart but he was spoiled and therefore had some behavior issues. We didn't go outside during the day, instead we went to a play room where the children could run around. There was one girl in the class that would not eat anything. We gave her breakfast, lunch and snack and she didn't touch any of it. It just sat in front of her. I don't know why she didn't eat anything. I almost fell asleep during nap time, but was able to help the teacher a little and ask them questions.
