Week # 12.Spring 22: ECE Inclusion Group 2 by anita bauer https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/72i6vkj101pk1ke1 Please, use the jam board for this week's CORP discussion en-us 2022-03-21 17:28:44 UTC 2022-04-03 20:50:57 UTC hello@padlet.com kaylereal https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/72i6vkj101pk1ke1/wish/2124602462 How do you respond when children make mistakes? I'm interested in gathering examples of positive and constructive responses.
When children make a mistake it's important to talk it out. Talk with the child about what they did and what they think they could have done differently. Redirect the child to options to pick or how they can fix their mistake. 
For example, Tommy didn't want to wait his turn at the block center so he kocked down Kimberly's house she made from blocks. Kimberly was sad. The teacher walked over and asked Tommy what he could do instead of taking Kimberly’s blocks. Tommy replied “I don't know,” The teacher asked Kimberly how that made her feel she replied “I was very sad you kocked down my house,” Tommy said he was sorry but still wanted to play in the blocks. The teachers gave Tommy 3 options to choose from, 1 set a timer to take turns, Build a house together or play at another center. Tommy chooses to Build the house together with Kimberly. The teacher agrees this is a good idea. 
 
What do you do...
 
When children answer questions incorrectly, like a child who answers a question about shapes by saying "The moon is a triangle"?
-Tell the child “that's a good try but not quite right” then remind the child what a triangle looks like such as a Slice of pizza or a ice cream cone. Then Redirect the Child's attention by rephrasing the question. for example What shape is a ball or the Sun. If the child still says the wrong answer tell them the correct answer but never Discourage the child from answering incorrectly. 
 
When they accidentally do something harmful, like spilling paint on another child's clothing? 
-Quickly clean up the paint so that no harm is done. Then explain to the child why we need to be careful when painting and that it's not good for our bodies. Give an example if needed. 
 
 
When they say something biased or hurtful, like "Boys are smart and girls are dumb"?
-Ask the child “why do you think that and how do you know”? This will make the child think about an answer for the words they chose. Then Redirect  the child by saying “well I think both girls and boys are smart and we all need to help one another remember that”

I would try to use materials surrounding me or look up a picture of moon. We would talk about the similarities they might have like the points may look the same but also talk about what characteristics make them different. ]]> 2022-04-01 20:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/72i6vkj101pk1ke1/wish/2125984405 Responding when a child makes a mistake savannahpowers https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/72i6vkj101pk1ke1/wish/2126776369 I make it very clear in my classroom that mistakes are okay and happen, the important thing is we learn from them. That generally goes for accidents such as not being careful with paint supplies and making a big mess. I would ensure my student that it is okay, accidents happen, have them help me clean up and discuss ways we can be more careful next time we are painting. I think it is important for children to be in an environment that allows them to be comfortable enough to make mistakes, because that is how we learn and grow. At times it is easier said than done, but our reaction to their mistakes can make all the difference and teach them how to react when they make a mistake or others around them. ]]> 2022-04-02 22:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/72i6vkj101pk1ke1/wish/2126776369 Responding when a child makes a mistake. jexca03 https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/72i6vkj101pk1ke1/wish/2126844241 When children answer questions incorrectly, like a child who answers a question about shapes by saying "The moon is a triangle"?

I would ask why they think the moon is a triangle, show them the shape of a circle and a triangle and ask them to tell me how it looks like a triangle compared to a moon. I would then say that you are right sometimes the moon does have points and can tend to look kind of like a triangle but different. 



When they accidentally do something harmful, like spilling paint on another child's clothing?

I would not make it a big deal, stay calm and say "oops, lets help so and so clean this up. Sometimes we make a mistake, and it is ok, we can figure this out by working together."

When they say something biased or hurtful, like "Boys are smart and girls are dumb"?

I would ask them " Is that being king or hurtful? What are your intentions when you say something like that? I think that boys and girls are both smart, and we should only say kind things to each other to help build each other up and not down. We are a family (school family), and we need to show that we care for one another."]]> 2022-04-03 02:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/72i6vkj101pk1ke1/wish/2126844241
