Self Reflection

Thank you for completing the self-assessment reflection.

Question Answer
WHAT? Reflect on what happened. Make initial observations. one child in care was unsettled on arrival, requested lunch box so ate some food while parent still dropping him off .no other children in today so put hat and helmet on took child with the balance bike to grassy space out side,rode bike played in sandpit ,. i was not trying to achieve any thing but let child lead activities, moved through goop, gardening, worms in compost , looked at the snowpeas we had planted.read some stories ,sang some songs. activities written on a blackboard. parent late collecting so not much discussion today as child needing to go home as was after 530pm
SO WHAT? Ask deeper questions to better understand what happened. we did acquire a dryer box from a harvey norman delivery driver ,dropping of new appliances in the house opposite us. this we turned into a second cubby.Monday can be tricky as weekends sometimes leave children quite tired so flexible attitude seems to work. only trying energetic activities when child shows energy to match. with one child i feel letting this child show what they would like to do works best.
WHAT NEXT? Consider what improvements to make and take action. with one child to focus on trying to strengthen their sense of belonging due to family circumstances at the present , with change in living arrangements.discuss any tricky things with family member, who runs a not for profit preschool.no time for sharing with other educators as we all work different days.
