Log 3: Comparing behavior during use of materials

Record 2 children's behavior while using the same materials--the child 
you have chosen for another child in the class.

Consider the following when you observing both children: How do the children 
react stimulus for the activity?; Describe what the children do wit the
material-do the children use the materials to represent something else
( symbolization); Non verbal behavior and body movements; Do they work quickly, spontaneously, carefully,cautiously...
Are other children involved in this activity? If so,how does your study
child relate to them? What can you observe about his/her problem solving ability through his/her use of material? Describe the child work style? What does the child do when finished? What have you learned about the child you observed? Anastasia is very helpful in class. Sometimes the teacher assign mentors to hand out materials and Anastasia really enjoys helping out.

Anastasia and another girl were handing out the "math 2 go" books to thechildren
in their class. When i was observing the two girs with the materials i saw how
they both were communicating well
with each other to see who was missing a book.
The two girls went back to their seats to start their assignment.When the
assignmentwas given,Anastasia opened her book and began during her work in her
math book. While watching the children at her table I saw howfast they worked
while completing their math work. Anastasia and
Her classmates at her table like
racing orcopying each other workand they like to communicate with each other while
they doing their work. Since my study child struggles sometimes with her work due
to communicating with the other girls at her table, she does tries to complete her
assignment but its a little difficult because she not focusing.
When Anastaisa was done with her assignments. She turns to a children which was 
her friend who sits at Her table and distracts them by communicating with them.
When Anastasia was done with Her work she would ask one of her friends at her
table to see if they need help,And if they do she does the work for them so that
they would be able to talk together.Since working at P.S 215 I started to see how
my study child Anastasia is a very bright child and Alao very smart, but sonetimes
get distracted with having her friends sitting at the same table as she.Not only
does ahe rush her work so that she be able to talk, but she intrupts her classmates
while they are working.
