The first thing I noticed about the avocado video was how Ms. Keesha was explaining

everything that was happening to the children. She starts to encourage Andrew and tells him he

almost has it. Everything that the children did, Ms. Keesha was right there talking them through

every move. For example, Mia got ahold of Andrews avocado and she says it out loud for

everyone to see what happened. This helps the child to better understand what is happening with

the avocados. Ms. Keesha is guiding the children to share and play with others instead of

snatching the avocado from someone else. She is also guiding the children to roll the avocado

and she explains that what they are doing is called rolling. Keesha explains that the avocado is

different from the inside being green and the outside being black. She demonstrates that in the

video. Guiding principles uses social, cognitive and emotional skills. Environment and materials

are being used by Keesha giving the child a spoon in order to scoop the avocado up. This teaches

children how to use their fine motor skills by using manipulations such as a spoon to use for the

avocado. I believe that Keesha put the children close together in order to show the children they

each have their own avocados and there’s no need to take from another child. Keesha is always

talking with the children at the table. She tells them about the avocado and how it’s round and

you could roll it. She asked Mia how the avocado tastes and how good it smells. The interaction

that she is displaying with the children is helping them understand what an avocado is and feels

like. She also mentions how slippery and smooth it is and proceeds to let the child feel the

avocado themselves. I believe this video showed a lot of how children should be taught, even at a

young age. Though children may not understand completely, allowing them to learn what an

avocado tastes, smells, and feels like will allow them to better understand in the future. Every

time a caregiver reads, sings, and talks with a child, they are building their vocabulary and

language skills. In both videos, it shows both teachers continuing to talk with children and

explaining to the child what is going in. There’s a scene in the video where an older man is

reading a story to a little boy and they are reading a story about boats. The man is making boat

noises and the child mimics the noises he makes. This teaches the child about the noises a boat

makes and with them continuing to read the book, the child will start to remember that specific

noise is made during the reading.
