Part III Documentation
The Learning Story:
It’s Singing Time

I observed toddlers were exploring different musical instrument that they have in the
classroom. Some of them were trying to make different noises by tapping objects to
each other. They like to sing at any time of the day. For example, wait at the table for
meal times, free play time, and circle time. For these reasons, I planned this activity.
Today, Just after their morning snack time, I invited children to come to the circle. I kept
all the musical instruments in the middle of the circle. All the children were so excited to
join in the circle because they could choose their favourite musical instruments. I
started to sing “ good morning train” song with the big train moving around the singing
circle. Gage, William, and Hunter were clapping their hands. All of them started using
their musical instruments while we were singing different songs. They also started
moving their bodies according to the music. I gave the expressions while I was singing
several songs with them. Gage was beating the drum so happily. Laila did a great job
playing the xylophone. Even though I met her today for the first time, Abigale was taken
much interest in taking part in the activity.. Ben was shaking the body while we were
singing. This activity enhanced these children’s physical, emotional/ social, and
language skills. They had the opportunity to play with the new instruments throughout
the day.

#3.2 Expressive Language- combing words
Analysis of Learning;
(What did the child(ren) do and understand during this experience?)
This age group (toddlers) has different ages of children starting from 18 months to 30
months. All of the kids were engaged in the activity and they all got opportunity to use
musical instruments. The activity was successfully done and fulfilled the developmental
level.
Extension of Learning:
(What opportunities will the student educator provide to extend on this
experience?)
Different types of instruments gave opportunity to explore different sounds of the
instruments.
C –Self-Reflection of Student Educator’s Learning / Performance

**Must be completed before the cooperating teacher’s evaluation
Strengths:
(how did the student impact the success of the activity minimum of 2):
I had materials ready for the activity.
I repeatedly did the activity a few times a day.
Recommendations:
(what can the student do differently to change, improve, enhance the experience
– minimum of 2):
I can do the activity for a longer time than I actually did.

I could use tape recorder and some cds, so It would be more fun for the children.

date)
