Professional Skills
I have demonstrated professional skills by showing up a few minutes early each day to ensure I am ready to go at 8:00am. I have communicated questions and concerns with my mentor, including asking her to speak privately when needed. I have acted on feedback and suggestions given by my mentor and educators in the room.
On Thursday, I contributed to the team by helping one of the educators, Hema, decorate the door for Christmas. We came up with a plan together, decorated the door with the art supplies, then took pictures of each of the children and educators to put on the elves/snowmen so everyone was included.
Practical Skills
I have demonstrated practical skills by taking on tasks in the room, such as prepping and cleaning up snack/lunch, helping children get their outdoor gear on, helping children fall asleep during nap time, and using guidance strategies to diffuse conflicts between children when they arise.
