Standard 1: Learner Development
Reflection
From my professional semester and into my student teaching experience, I have observed students learning in different ways. My students were the most engaged whenever they were able to do hands-on learning and apply concepts that we discussed. Using different manipulatives by adding different rotations of centers allowed my students to succeed in learning the concepts. I chose the artifacts below because I was able to get students to apply the knowledge they have been learning and use it in various ways. In doing so, I am able to find ways to include all of the learning styles of my students (and engage them in their 5 senses) to connect them to the material and help them form a greater understanding.

Literacy Development and Play
Play is an important part of a child’s upbringing because it is the first part of literacy development for a child. The reason why I selected this topic of “Literacy Development and Play” was because I read a book last year called, “Play’s the Thing” by Elizabeth Jones and Gretchen Reynolds and that book opened my eyes to the importance of play for a child. Why it is significant in the field of literacy development and instruction is because it enhances a child’s emotional, social, and cognitive development.
In this paper, I looked at three articles written from 2014 to 2018, and compared and contrasted their similarities and differences.
