Preschool visits have definitely been my favorite part of working in the lab so far. Every week, I feel such warmth and love from the teachers and the kids. Initially, I was a little unsure of my role in the classroom, as I wanted to get involved, but I didn’t want to take away responsibility and authority from the teachers. However, as time has gone on, I’ve become more comfortable asking to help with tasks and developing my relationship with the kids.
As the school year unfortunately comes to an end, I have come up with a project to engage the kids and help me remember them as I say goodbye. I planned an art project called “the yearbook,” in which the children draw themselves and illustrate a fun fact about them, which will go alongside a photo of them. These pages will be tied together to form a book. This book will be copied, so that I, along with the kids and teachers, have a collective memory of this class.
I feel a very strong bond with the teachers and children in this classroom, and I will be extremely sad to say goodbye to them in the coming weeks. I am very grateful for what I have learned about early education and for all the laughs I’ve shared in this learning environment.
