Developmental Changes

In my observations, I am just beginning to realize the developmental changes in the students. I am so amazed at how far they have come since the beginning of the year. Students who had never even heard of colors before can name them all. Children who did not know how to count can now count to ten and sometimes beyond. I am so amazed at how much the children have learned in the classroom and I know the reason that it has begun to stick is because of the repetition. Constantly all year we have been going over with the children their numbers, colors, animals, etc. I had a mom come in this week and tell me that I had done an excellent job on colors with her daughter. I talked to her about how I thought that she had been working on them at home with her and surprisingly the mother said that they had not. It was such a wonderful feeling to know that her learning of colors was a result of me going over them and over them with her.
