Week 14-Assignment 1

In the classroom where I observed the teacher used reading as a way of teaching social skills. These five year old students were not developmentally holding at a place where they can read books on their own. The teacher chose interesting books for to read aloud to the class and to discuss the emotions that went on in the story. Many of the students in the class have PDD (pervasive developmental disorder) and the teacher takes every opportunity to teach her students proper social skills and ways to understand their feelings.
