Methods Practice Assignment 2

For my second methods practice assignment, I decided to do 45 minutes of observation in a kindergarten classroom, focusing primarily on teacher-student interaction. The reason I chose this is because my observations in the field will be focusing on parenting, and I wanted to get a little experience observing adult and child interactions. It was very enjoyable, and because they have an observation booth set up, the kids and adults are in their natural school environment and act naturally.

After beginning my observations, I decided that I could learn more about the children if I observed their interactions with one another because they were doing that much more frequently than interacting with a teacher. My observations are as follows:
*Note: children and teachers are either referred to as "kid" "child" "teacher" etc, or have names that have been changed.
