Document Summary
Start time: 9:00am end time: 12:00pm # hours: 3 h. Context: observing the children as they come to understand their new class pet. Had this opportunity when the children had just come inside in the morning to begin their day. The children quickly realized there was a cage in their classroom that housed a little furry animal. Watched how the kids interacted with this novel experience as they tried to figure out what his animal was. All of the kids quickly gathered around the cage and were completely transfixed. Some of them started shouting out potential names for the animal, the others tried to figure out what kind of animal it was. The children started to ignore my, as well as the teachers", instruction due to this major distraction. Through this event, the children discussed and whispered amongst themselves characteristics of the animal in hopes to come up with a conclusion about what type of animal it is.
