9/16/09 Observations

Observations from 9/16/09
Emily Lovejoy
Today I visited a local friends school for children from three years through sixth grade. The school has a diverse population of students and has strong Quaker values.  It especially focuses on teaching students to respect all people and also focuses on engaging them to be involved in peaceful problem solving.  I observed a 5th/6th grade class (Teacher A) and a 1st/2nd grade class (Teacher B).  Both teachers were participants in Bryn Mawr's summer institutes for K-12 teachers.

Notes towards Day 5 of Food for Thought: Changing Human Nature?

I. "Fussiness about food is a normal part of a child’s development.
Young children are naturally neophobic — they have a distrust of the new."
