After watching the videos, answer the following questions:
- What elements of working with infants and toddlers do you see demonstrated in the classrooms you visited virtually?
- How are the elements demonstrated in each classroom?
1. The elements that is being demonstrated in video 1 . Infant toddler are learning language. This video involves sensory experience because they are playing sand.
Video 2 they are playing with a train set and toys. Whats being demonstrated here is that they are learning to explore the world in way because its something that is new to them.
Video 3. Teacher is engaging with students having a conversation with them students are playing kitchen and pretending they are cooking and handing the teacher food. Here we see that the Children is learning through there senses.
2. These elements are demonstrated in each classroom because some of the observation classrooms are based on either , eating sleeping and playing. These classrooms allow children to grow and learn, which includes playing kitchen, this allows children to explore and the video while the children are playing with the sand this allows sensory play to happen , where the children get to feel and touch the sand . The teachers have opportunity to explain the texture of the sand and why it feels like that.
Hi Emily
Very good…..Just letting you know you over looked video #4. Its highlighted at bottom.
In video 1, infants and toddlers are learning language. It contains lots of sensory
In video 2, children where playing with sets such as trains there being taught to learn about the world and what is going on around them.
In video 3, the teacher is engaging with the children, Verbal wise. Some was also playing in the kitchen area as well, This showed how children can learn through 5 senses
after observing I notice children. Eating, sleeping and playing. This helps children grow into smart little ones, also when playing helps kids feel like understand that playing with sand was form of touching something. Teachers can engage and help children understand or help them have a better understanding
Hi Delesah
Great job.
What elements of working with infants and toddlers do you see demonstrated in the classrooms you visited virtually?
Video #1 Shows infant and toddler learning all different kind of skills, they are well involve and engaged in the activity. Sensory experience is shown.
Video #2 Shows children interacting with their caregiver and also playing with a trains/road set, they are putting signs where it belongs. Sensory experience is shown.
Video #3 Caregiver is engaging with students has they pretending to be cooking, while cooking they are having conversation.
Video #4 Caregiver is playing with children, they’re playing in the sand box. Caregiver interact with the children, independent skills is being promoted.
How are the elements demonstrated in each classroom?
Each element is a kind of a different settings, classroom for exploring and playing different things. Outdoor park like settings in order to play in the sand box and be independent.

Engaging with different materials to stimulate senses
80 percent of brain growth happens in first 3 years
In Classroom #1 The classroom is in the playing part of the schedule. One child is working with scissors. Another child is playing with water and sand, These classroom materials are made of different materials and exposing them to different tactile feelings. These activities are helpful for a toddler because the world is new to them.The kids are playing with each other so they are using language in a pragmatic way.
In Classroom #2, The teacher is holding the child from the front so that the child can look at the teacher who is holding her, creating trust and comfort. It shows the physical demand of the job as the teacher needs to lay down with the children. The children move around a lot in different directions, forcing the teacher to maintain visual of all of her students. The activities are stimulating their sense of touch and sight. There appears to be clay on the table which they can mold into different shapes. This clay is stimulating their cognitive development.
In classroom #3 there is cultural sensitivity because the doll in the classroom is the same color as the child’s skin. The classroom is multicultural. The teacher is asking them complex questions to enhance the child’s language and cognitive development. The question about time is enhancing the student’s conception of time.
Like the other three classrooms, Classroom #4 shows infants in play. The teacher is looking at all of them, trying to maintain eye contact with all of them to maintain a sense of comfort and trust. The classroom is also multicultural. Stuff animals are available for the infants to play with. The stuff animals stimulate the infants’ senses. There are also hard objects like the binoculars which expose the infants to another material, making them aware of different textures.
After watching the videos, answer the following questions:
1.What elements of working with infants and toddlers do you see demonstrated in the classrooms you visited virtually?
2.How are the elements demonstrated in each classroom?
1. Visit these infant-toddler classrooms; as you watch the videos, look for the elements involved in working with infants and toddlers. How are the elements demonstrated in the each video? This handout may help as you watch the videos.
Answer:
Video #1: In video #1 it shows the infants and toddlers learning all different kind of skills such as cutting up paper turning into shapes , playing in the sand, also playing with blocks and toys, teaching the toddlers learning how to eat, letting the children use their imagination as far as dressing up in the playroom area as doctors. children are also interacting with one another, reading books with one another as well. They are engaged in every activity I seen in these clips. Sensory experience is shown.
Video #2: In video #2 is shows the infant and toddlers interacting with their teacher. the teachers are also helping the toddler to stand on their own two feet , teaching them to create balance, also playing toys such as trains/road set. In other scene the children are playing with plants and smelling the plants , touching it as well, playing with play dough using lots of hand movement, Sensory experience is shown.
Video #3: In video #3 is shows the infant and toddlers are engaging with the teacher verbally. Some was also playing in the kitchen play area as well with their apron on, teacher is also showing them how to blow if the food it too hot (fake toys). This is teaching the infants/toddler to learn through 5 senses.
Video #4: In video #4 is shows the infant and toddler are engaging with the teacher in the play area, also teacher is conversating with the toddlers, teaching the toddlers how to play with differently toys independtly and also encouraging the toddler to stand on their own during this scene. Self skill is being used in this scene.
How are the elements demonstrated in each classroom?
Answer: Each element demonstrated differently due to its different settings, classroom, environment, different age groups, different teachers, so you do see the same things happening just in a different way.
1. In video one the elements we see demonstrated in the classroom are, the schedules the kids follow during the day. Making friendships, being independent. The children are at different activities exploring sensory, but playing with sand, water, play-doh. Individualized routines are also shown in the video, the kids are eating snack and helping serve the food. Kids are also learning language.
2. The children are learning language, learning to trust those around them, making connections. Teachers are bulling relationship with colleagues. The teacher is talking to the children through what she is talking about/what is happening around them, she also picks up the child from the front to be seen. She is redirection the children. Their interest are being followed, teachers are engaged in play. Self help skills for the the independence of the children is being promoted. Their sensory experiences are also being developed by the play they are doing with different materials, , they are making connections with experiences.
3. This Classroom is difference, even the dolls have different skins tones, this demonstrates cultural sustainability. Language is also being developed, the teacher is asking questions and making comments during play, pretend play. The child interested are being followed, they have opportunities to explore environments that help with sensory stimulation.
4. Language is being developed in this video, the teachers are speaking different languages to the children. The children are in a diverse classroom which enriches their cultural sustainability. The children are being encouraged to play independently but being demonstrated how to use certain toys. Trust is being built by the affection being show by the teachers, as well as stimulating their sensory skills by the different materials and toys they are playing with.

What elements of working with infants and toddlers do you see demonstrated in the classrooms you visited virtually?
How are the elements demonstrated in each classroom?
Video #1: In this observation I see a lot of activities that are developing secure relationships, supporting development, and giving the toddlers sensory experiences. In the classroom they are developing secure relationships and supporting development by having the toddlers play with each other and I see the teachers are having conversations with the toddlers, being very responsive. I see a lot of hands on activities which focus on sensory experiences.
Video #2: In this observation I see the development of secure relationships being demonstrated. The teachers are being very responsive and interacting with the infants by helping them and asking questions. They are also creating opportunities for development by positively reinforcing them, helping them do things then allowing them to do it by themselves. Sensory experiences are also being demonstrated through the activities. Towards the end they were playing some kind of play dough and the teacher allowed them to squeeze, touch, and explore the items in front of them.
Video #3: Here I see the development of secure relationships being demonstrated. The teacher starts off by having a conversation with a couple of the students. She is asking them questions and answering their questions. She is also supporting their language development by having this back and forth.
Video #4: In this observation I hear the teacher is switching between speaking English and speaking Spanish so cultural sustaining is being demonstrated in this classroom. Also developing secure relationships is being demonstrated here because the teacher is really interacting with all of the toddlers.
Classroom #1 is focusing on language and teaching the children how to express themselves through writing and drawing. The classroom is teaching the children a sense of independence and being able to be creative and speaking their mind.
Classroom #2 is all about building trust with the infants/toddlers and creating a safe, friendly, loving environment that allows them to explore what’s around them. It’s also focusing on their fine and gross motor skills and encouraging them to continue learning new skill sets, we see this when the teacher holds the toddler up, building that strength and confidence until he’s able to do it alone. The teachers are also teaching how to play together and to consider others emotions, especially when the child touched the babys face. The teachers are also engaging in conversation and talking to the children based on what they are doing, allowing them to express themselves. They are also focusing on sensory play with the play-doh and testing their senses when she ask them what the play-doh smelles like She is also allowing them to be creative and imaginative with the play-doh and asking what they will make with it and helping mold it to a circle.
Classroom #3 focuses on playing with others, considering the needs of your peers, considering others, being creative and imaginative. The teacher has the children engage in pretend pay, with Noah, she asks him to make certain foods and asking how long it’ll take to cook it.. The teacher is also engaging in conversation with them, helping them build language, as she continues to ask questions and responding to them. She also teaching them how to take turns and wait for their turn patiently.
Classroom #4 focuses on understanding feelings of others. In the beginning the baby is seen with a stuffed animal in her mouth, and the teacher proceeds by taking the stuffed animal out of her mouth and making soothing sounds and showing compassion towards it. She is also being verbal with the infants, talking to them and asking questions which teaches them language. She shows the importance of sharing with each other and showing problem solving as they are both able to equally play with the babies. She also showing them how to be independent, and encouraging them to explore their environment and boundaries.
What elements of working with infants and toddlers do you see demonstrated in the classrooms you visited virtually?
How are the elements demonstrated in each classroom?
In video #1 the children are given sensory experiences with the sand and clay. The teachers are supporting development by helping the children feed themselves.
In video #2 the teachers are developing secure relationships and giving the children sensory experiences by letting them play with the clay. The teachers are supporting development by helping the children stand up and ask them questions about what they are doing and ask them if they can do something to see if they are able to understand and do what is asked.
In video #3 the teacher is developing secure relationships with her students by joining them in pretend play and communicating with them. She is supporting development growth ( cognitive, physical, and language) through pretend play and asking them questions.
In video #4 the teacher is developing secure attachments with her students by sitting down with them while they play and rocking one child. She is supporting their language development by speaking to them in both English and Spanish to the children. She is also culturally sustaining by speaking in English and Spanish. The children are also engaging in sensory experiences by playing with the toys that have different textures and buttons.
Video #1
This video displays children learning different skills. The first set of children are cutting paper learning hand-eye coordination, while developing fine motor skills. Another set of children are playing with play dough and using manipulatives to develop their sensory and concentration skills while also developing their fine motor skills. Another set of children are at a table watching their teacher use a spoon to scoop food from a bowl learning practicle like skills through imitation. The last set of children are doing dramatic play while developing their social-emotional skills and working together as a group.
Video #2
Video #2 involves children learning social-emotional skills and developing language by playing with trains. The children are also learning and developing hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, attention skills, response skills, social rules by sharing with their peers.
Video #3
Video #3 dramatic playing as if they were in a restaurant. They are developing language skills, response skills by answering the teacher’s questions, imagination by engaging in play, independence skills, and social-emotional development by playing with their peers. The teacher was redirecting the children to learn social rules and sharing.
Video #4
Video #4 the children are learning empathy by dramatic playing with kittens. The teacher is teaching them to be gentle with the kittens. She is teaching them language as well by speaking to the infants and engaging with them while they play.
In VIdeo 1 children demonstrated their social skills and processes such as relationships in their individualized routines. Children cut the paper and play with water and sand in their routines.
In Video 2 children demonstrated play with toys such as cars, train, trainway, apple, orange and food. The children showed trust is the most important element in their lives. We can see they trust the teachers. Therefore, they show their emotional skills & processes and social skills & processes such as relationships skills, learning language skills, require assistance/ are dependent skills to teach.
In Video 3 children demonstrated with food toys such as cookies and apples. They showed social skills and processes such as social rules and relationship skills. They learned about language skills, we can see in video, they can react to the teacher’s question with non verbal language and verbal communication.
In VIdeo 4 children demonstrated with teddy bear toys and baby toys. They showed their learning language skills. Children and teachers showed their developing secure relationship. They have respect and trust in this video.
Hey Yan kyaw
Good job, I Like the way you respond to each question very detailed and specific, you include the information what we learned from previous modules.
yes, I think every module is connected. Thank You Luis!
Video 1
In this video I see different groups of toddlers and different activities. Many elements are demonstrated such as responding with respect to the toddlers needs, playing with them to explore their area and develop their language and social interaction skills . Helping in serving food develop daily routine. These elements are shown as the following: I see teacher are responding adequately for the needs of children. I see an infant who is cutting paper and the teacher showing him shapes. Another one playing with infants in table play with blocks. while another one serving food for others. Also, another teacher reads book and communicate with infants.
Video 2
In this video I see a teacher responding respectfully for the different ages of toddlers simultaneously. She had conversation with them and help them to communicate which is a behavior that help them to improve their language. She guided the boy to put the plastic scroll in the hole by that she is helping him learn how to do it by him-self. She is showing affection for them whish help to build trust. While another teacher had a conversation with other toddlers in a table play. she is helping them to create a garden smelling the plants and show them that they have to grab plants by turn which develop their social skill.
Video 3
In this video a teacher communicates in appropriate way with kids. She is playing with them and valued a child’s activity to cook. She is giving him a responsibility to cook. she is helping them to exploring their sensory skill by testing and smelling food an express her feeling for them about it, autonomy by giving everyone a task, as well as their social interaction.
Video 4
Teacher is having conversation with toddlers. She is showing them how to play with different toys and independently this help them in developing their autonomy and their sensory skill. she is showing affection which helps to build trust. She is being culturally sustained by respecting talking home language.
Module 3 Assignment #1: Working with Infants & Toddlers Virtual Tour
Video 1
Developing Secure Relationships with children, caregivers – Teacher showed trust, was respectful to children, responded to the children
Individualized Routines – Eating, playing,
Supporting Developing – Cognitive, physical, language
Sensory Experiences – Sensory – learn through their senses
The children were not afraid to talk to their teacher. The teachers showed respect to the students and they responded to them and that helped to build trust. Some children were playing in the sand, some were talking on the phone and seemed as if they were depicting some professionals, such as a doctor. They were also using their sensory experiences. In talking and playing they were using their cognitive and language ability to communicate on the phone or talking to each other. They were being physical, walking, moving about, lifting things and supporting their developmental growth.
Video 2
Developing Secure Relationships with children, caregivers – Teacher showed trust, was
Individualized Routines – playing
Supporting Developing – Cognitive, physical, language
Sensory Experiences – Sensory – learn through their senses
The teachers and the children were playing with toys. Teachers displayed trust and likewise the students. They used their cognitive skills of talking to the teacher and understanding and responding to the teachers, language skills was also exemplified. They used their physical skills by moving around. They were learning through their senses. The teachers created the opportunities to explore environment filled with rich, varied sensory stimuli, they used the dough to make cooking and other things. The activities enabled the toddlers to make connections between experiences. They created an environment where the third teacher facilitated the exploration.
Video 3
Developing Secure Relationships with children, caregivers – Teacher showed trust,
Individualized Routines – Eating, playing
Supporting Developing – Cognitive, physical, language
Sensory Experiences – Sensory – learn through their senses
The teacher and the children were all involved. Teacher and students demonstrated trust. The children were playing with food items, so I assumed the teacher wanted them to know different food items. They were also cooking. The children used their cognitive skills to think of the items they were cooking, knew that they needed to get cooked, when it was finished cooking, he knew it should get cooled. They were talking while using cognitive skills. They were learning through their senses. The teacher created opportunities to explore the environment filled with rich, varied sensory stimuli and enabled the toddlers to make connections between experiences. The teacher followed their interest.
Video 4
Developing Secure Relationships with children, caregivers – Teacher showed trust,
Individualized Routines – playing
Supporting Developing – Cognitive, physical, language
Sensory Experiences – Sensory – learn through their senses
Both teacher and students showed trust. They were playing with toys. The moved about and were talking. They played with the toys and showed affection by kissing, cuddling and hugging them. The teacher did animal sounds representing types of animals. The babies learned through their senses,. The teacher created opportunities to explore environment, they moved about and took their toys The children were enabled to make connections between experiences and the teacher follow child’s interests of taking picture and feeding babies. The teacher spoke to the children in both Spanish and English, so I am assuming that children were there who spoke Spanish and the teacher wanted the child/children to maintain and continue to grow in their cultural heritage and identity.
Hey Denise Newland Stewart
This is Luis Martinez,I want add on to your responds to questions 1 and 2, we as teachers have the responsibility to build a network of trust and bond with families,this a key role in the development of the child’s emotional and education development.We should respond to every child’s needs in the classroom.
After watching the videos, answer the following questions:
What elements of working with infants and toddlers do you see demonstrated in the classrooms you visited virtually?
The elements of working with infants and toddlers that I saw being demonstrated on each of the classrooms were the fallowing promoting self-independence, being constantly responsive to the children’s needs, the development of secure relationships through constantly responding to the child’s needs , sensory experiences through dramatic play, supporting development of fine and motor skills & processes through grasping ,reaching, holding, bringing, which involves the use of small and large muscles. In Video #1, the infant/toddlers are putting their eight-basic sensory at work through dramatic play, exploring what objects can do, the teachers are constantly there to meet the needs of every child. Video #2 the teacher sitting on the rug is encouraging one of the infants to try figuring out how to put the object on the hole. The infants who are in the playdough station are using their hands to experiment what can they do use their imagination and creativity. The acts of squishing, rolling, flattening, and more help children develop muscles using in their hands for fine motor movements useful in the future, such as holding a pencil or using scissors. Video #3 shows the young children are able to maintain a conversation, they respond to the teacher’s simple instructions, through sentences with 2 to 4 words, they repeat the words that heard from their teacher” cook”. They are able to describe the objects that are holding, touching, giving, through dramatic play. They are able to associate the names of the objects with their corresponding category fruits and vegetables. Video #4 shows footage of a caregiver engaged in imaginative play with a small group of infants and toddlers. The teacher communicates with her students in both languages Spanish and English, the teacher extends children’s involvement in the pretend paly with bay dolls and kittens, independent skills is being promoted. The caregiver/teacher makes different animals sounds so that the infants can recognize what makes an animal different from one another based on sounds.
Luis, I support your talk about the caregivers making the sound. That is so good because the students will be excited, laugh and be more interested in repeating the sounds.
It is now 10:49 pm, July 1, 2020, however, my post’s date is saying 2:48 am July 2, 2020.

i reviewed this module
Video 1: Children are using sensory skills, they are playing with sand, scooping into a bucket. the teacher is helping them scoop into a building bucket. they are able to touch the sand and feel it.
Video #2: The children were playing with train sets. its a new setting that they were introduced to.
Video #3: We are viewing children and a teacher playing pretend kitchen. a child is pretending to be a cook while the other children and teacher pretend to be customers. the children are demonstrating imagination and are learning via there senses based on touch, “smell”, sight, listening and “taste”.
we see in video#1 children in action learning hands on, using sensory stimuli in various group activities monitored by teachers, who take the role of focused observers, leading the workshops in the same time, by involving the children in learning basic skills like eating, cooking, cutting paper and initiation to collective plays, and group oral classes, that allow teachers to systematically document and record observations about children.
In video#2 We see a group of teachers actively communicating with toddlers, who look full of energy and curiosity. We observe that the teacher teaching the children language, with onomatopoeic pronunciation sometimes, and full sentences messages, in other times, speaking in the imperative and declarative mode, asking questions as well. On the other side, another teacher is engaged a group of other toddlers how to use their olfactory and touch senses, and manually build basic organic elements. A third teacher is showing a toddler the routine of how to wear socks and shoes.
In the video#3 we see a teacher surrounded by toddlers. The teacher is observing the entire class environment, while she is monitoring the kitchen activity, where one kid “Noah”, as the cook, and another is the consumer. The teacher is persuading the cook boy and the girl sitting beside her to respect the roles, and show altruism, while a third child seem to be an onlooker element, In the same time, the teacher is stimulating by questions and descriptions, the kids to speak while taking this associative play to develop their verbal skills.
In video#4 We see a teacher in a group conversation with three toddler, speaking in both Spanish and English. The activity consists of a combination of sensor stimuli and language learning the human-human relationship and human-animal relationship. We notice the teacher using a lot of attention and tenderness, as well as recognition to the effort of the toddlers.
What elements of working with infants and toddlers do you see demonstrated in the classrooms you visited virtually?
How are the elements demonstrated in each classroom?
The elements that’s being incontestable in video 1. Is that baby are learning language. This video involves sensory expertise as a result of them enjoying sand.
In video 2 they’re having fun with the train and other toys.
In the video#3 we have can see kids pretending to be a cook and the teachers are engaging with them, asking them questions. The kids had different food items they were cooking, that they knew it needed to get cooked. They were using cognitive skills. Teachers created opportunities for them to learn through their sense.
In video 4 we can see the teacher having a conversation with toddlers, teaching them how they can properly and independently play with the toys. This helps the kids develop their sensory skill.
1)Video 1 :There are a couple of sensory opportunities for the children in these video. They have the sand box, they have snack, big legos, pretend play with real life objects like the red phone. Teacher supports child scoopoing snack out of the bowl into the child’s plate.
Video 2: Teacher builds trust and allow children to feel secure with her as they approach and lean on her. She also searts down at the child’s level, listens and respomdsto what they communicate with their verbal, non verbal language. There is sensory opportunities when the teacher sits with some children and allow them to explore with playdough and smelling different herbs available in the table.
Video 3: Teacher engages in conversation and follows the child in his interest, kitchen pretend play. She role plays the customer along with another student and the little boy pretend to be the cook and cooks their food in an may believe oven.
Video 4: Teacher interacts through verbal and non verbal language. She models and expresses affectionate and caring behavior by kissing the stuffed dogs and the children do the same. This classroom is culturally sustaining by having baby dolls of more then one ethnic background, reflecting the diversity in the classroom.
2) These elements are demonstrated through interaction in play time, eating, pretend play and verbal and nonverbal communication. Most important of all, they all demonstrated of trust and comfort in their environment and teachers.
