Kidwatching

This week I started on our kidwatching project.  My teacher decided to assign me to a little boy named Jack, who is quite the little over achiever.  I was really excited to work with him and observe him because he always participated and seemed to be really engaged in whatever the class was working on.   The class worked on making a drawing of a scene in the book they were reading that really stuck out in their minds and meant something to them.  I focused on Jack as he took this assignment very seriously.  I knew that Jack was extremely into drawing and loved showing his opinions and thoughts through drawing.  His face lit up as the teacher described the assignment.  I watched jack as he worked quietly and individually to draw a picture of the barn and the stream that was the setting of the story.  On the back they were supposed to write why they chose the picture that they drew.  Jack did this very quickly then went straight back to his sketch that he was working on.  Overall, I picked up Jacks love for drawing and caught on to the fact that he would pick drawing over writing out something any day.
