NAEYC Standard 4. Using Developmentally Effective Approaches to Connect with Children and Families Students prepared in early childhood degree programs understand that teaching and learning with young children is a complex enterprise, and its details vary depending on childrens ages, characteristics, and the settings within which teaching and learning occur. They understand and use positive relationships and supportive interactions as the foundation for their work with young children and families. Students know, understand, and use a wide array of developmentally appropriate approaches, instructional strategies, and tools to connect with children and families and positively influence each childs development and learning. Key elements of standard 4b: Knowing and understanding effective strategies and tools for early education Reflection: I felt this lesson went well overall. The objective was to learn sequencing of the numbers. The concept was implemented through the reading of the book, Chicka Chicka 123 and the number activity. The reading of the book went well. The only glitch was trying to figure out a way for the entire class to see the book. In reflecting on the issue, I will use the white board to magnify the book next time. The students were really interested in the book especially because they were able to see the characters in the book. Also, having authentic numbers helped with the

comprehension of numbers and sequencing. In addition, having numbers that the students could touch and count really helped bring learning to life.
