3:15 p.m. - 4:15 p.m.

So before I went in my original plan was to just observe what people were wearing and their personalities and build off what I saw last week. But to my surprise there was only 6 children here that were here last week. The rest of the kids were new. Plus, all the adult helpers were new.

The new adults seem a little more friendly and talkative. Kenlee, Melody, Clara, the little Asian boy, Michael, and Zino were the only kids I recognized. Right away Melody started talking about the sister relationship with a girl like she did last time.

Well I am going to describe the kids and the adults. Clara- Well she craves attention but can be quite friendly. She probably is quite spoiled at home. Today she was wearing a red dress, with red stretch pants underneath. I think she really loves dresses. Both times I have been here she has wore one. Last time she was not excited at all when her mom came. I thought maybe it had something to do with her mom. But this time she ran up to her mom and was very excited. We were in the gym when her mom came so her mom came in and sat right down. Clara was playing with her for the rest of the time we were in the gym.

One of the adults, her name is Carrie, she is very friendly and active with the kids. Carrie was wearing a green eastern sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and cream boots. She has bleach blond hair and it is up in a pony tail. Lauren is another adult. She is wearing a blue thermal shirt with black stretch pants and brown boots. She is a very petite girl so when i heard her voice it surprised me. She had glasses on. There was another girl who had a green sweater on and these big brown boots. She had dirty blond hair that was past her shoulders. She didn't do anything the whole time i was there. She just sat there. Christina was another adult and was wearing a red sweatshirt. She had a head band in her hair and it was in a pony tail. She had black hair and it was pretty long. She was interacting with the kids a lot and very nice. Another one of the adults was Kelly. She was wearing a blue shirt and a half cream sweater. She had a notebook but was not writing anything in it. She had on jeans and tennis shoes. Jackie is the main teacher I told you about last week. Today she was wearing a blue sweater, jeans, and brown shoes. She is very nice, attentive when she needs to be, but not a push over.

The kids seems very hyper today, I don't know what was going on. Melody started crying and I missed what happens. She is across the room and I see her touch her knee, she must have fell.

Today Melody is wearing a purple shirt, pink pants, and a black necklace. She is a very outgoing girl and very nice to everyone. I have seen her play with every single child now. It was cute, as soon as I walked in Melody asked me again if I was only hear to write again. She didn't like that answer. She thought I was going to play.

Kenlee is wearing a white tee and jeans. I believe that he was wearing the same thing last time. His pants are way to short on him.

One of the new kids that was here this time was Piper. She was wearing a black shirt with hearts on it. The hearts were pink and purple. She had blond hair and it was in pig tails.

Ally was another new girl. She had on a black shirt and pink pants. She had dirty blond hair and it was in a pony tail. She seems like a cry baby. I know that sounds mean but that is how she was acting.

Michael was one of the kids who was here last week. Today he had on a green and blue thick stripe sweater and blue pants. He was much calmer today rather than the other days.

As we are sitting in the gym Clara's mom gets there and Jackie begins to talk to Clara's mom. They are laughing and seeming to have a good time. Zino is a little boy that was there last time. He is the only three year old and is very quiet. Today he is wearing a thomas the tank shirt and blue pants.

There is a new girl i don't recognize. She is wearing a burgundy dress and white tights. She seems very outgoing and is playing with everyone. While we are in the gym Zino is staying right by Carrie. We leave the gym and go back into the room. Today on all the tables. On the snack table is pretzels and apple juice. On another table there are the sand baskets just like last time, a magnetic table, and a sponge paint table.

Kelly the adult, Zino, the girl in the velvet dress, and Will are all at the magnet table. Piper is at the sand table by herself but seems fine. Velvet girl goes to have snack by herself. Then Ally and Carrie join her. Kenlee is running around everywhere. Melody now went to the magnet table but isn't there very long. Michael sits down at the magnet table and found a piece of paper and begins coloring.

At about 3:45 p.m. Christina, Kelly, and the girl in the green sweater leave. They leave with Jackie. When I was here last time three of the girls left at the same time with her so im curious to where they are going. They never come back.

Lauren is now in the rocking chair and she is reading a book to Kenlee. Zino is at the magnet table and is very quiet. He hasn't said one word. H never wants to talk to any of the kids. Michael is at the table with Will and Zino. Michael starts talking about Spongebob and all the characters. Zino draws what he says is a race car and Will tells him its not a race car. He looks sad. Melody is sitting at the big table with lots of tea cups. Ally got in trouble and when Carrie says something to her, she starts to talk like a baby. Will is drawing a really good picture, and Carrie tells him that. He points to about three more pictures all over the classroom and says that he drew all those too. I think he likes to draw. Michael then came over to the sand table and was there with Piper. The the burgundy girl comes over. Lauren asks if Zino wants to go on the computer and he jumps right up. Kenlee needs to go to the bathroom and someone has to go with him. Burgundy and Melody are playing at the tea table and seem to be having a lot of fun. Ally gets a book and sits down. i dont know if she is going to try and read or just look at the pictures. Kenlee seems to be bored he doesnt know what to do and is just going everywhere. Will goes over and rises his hands. I dont know why. Carrie is sweeping because there is birdseed everywhere. Kenlee and Will go and eat snack together. Kids become very calm and I am happy it is time to go. By the time i go to leave there is 8 kids left.
