RJA #13a: Field Research Report

For my field research I observed different preschools. I chose to visit four different preschools with different philosophies and cirriculums. The four cirriculums/philosophies were; montessori (learn through play), high-scope (mixture of play and teacher instruction), mixed aged (creative cirriculum), and tools of the mind (think smart not hard). I strictly observed the classrooms, only speaking when I first arrived so the children knew who I was and what I was doing in the classroom. From my observations I pulled information that was simililar between all the schools. To show differences (if need be) in my paper I will share both or all sides of what was going on at each school.
