2's reflection @ ECDC

I thought I would reflect on some of the things I have observed at ECDC since I was unable to do my field this morning due to the flu. I was quite ill last night and actually fainted, splitting my lip, and so even if my flu symptoms had gone away, I would have probably scared the kindergarten students in my field w/ my busted lip. I am thinking I may need stitches but was too sick to walk to health services today. Anyways, I will share some of my ECDC experience. 


I have noticed a few things that are very interesting in the 2's. With the magnetic plastic balls and blocks toys (which are actually cylinders and balls, the students have been making hair blow dryers and playing salon, and it is amazing how realistic the scenes that they are acting out are. Boys and girls, blow dry my hair, give me a dye job, and brush my hair. It is pretty funny but also amazing how they pick up on these things and act them out. I am also amazed with how so may of them know how to take care of baby dolls and the dialogue they use when doing it. You can tell they have watched their parents with siblings or from personal experience. It is so fun to see. I have also enjoyed watching them sing and dance to music these last few days when the weather has been bad. You can really get an idea of the different development level in regards to gross motor skills for each child.
