For the classroom to score better on the observation scale, I would make a few changes.
For the curriculum, I would add more culturally appropriate materials, push pull toys, and more
dump and fill toys for the children. I would hang the childrens artwork up around the classroom
and make sure it is presented respectfully to help the children see that their work is important and
valued. I would put up more materials on the walls or ceiling to help cut down on sound. In the
classroom, there was hardly any sound blocking materials. Those were some of my biggest
concerns that I observed.
This observation was helpful for me to see what should and should not be done in a
classroom for toddlers. I will be in the Toddler Lab next semester and it was nice to see how the
classroom is set up and organized. I was able to see how the activities were helping the children
learn the necessary skills at their age level. It was also helpful to see what needs improving and
now I can brainstorm ways I can help make things better when I am the teacher. It was good to
observe the different areas in detail to know that everything we do as teachers should be
intentionally done to help the children in the very best ways. Things are not just thrown together,
it takes thought and purpose behind it to make it the best learning environment for the children.
