Analysis
I found that C.D was involved in a lot of solitary play, with a little cooperative play before lunch. He seems to like playing alone or being an onlooker when it gets really busy. When he does warm up to cooperative play, it seem like it is only when there are two or less children playing together. He likes to do activities that he can do alone or with one other child, like puzzles or computer play. During my observation I noticed that C.D seemed to get bossed around by some of the other children. B.K tended to lean more toward interacting with the other children in larger groups. He did a lot of parallel play during the day. While he was engaged in associate play he seemed to be a follower vs. a leader of the group. He copied a lot of behaviors displayed by the other children, and when told to do something by another child, he was eager to do so. He didnt initiate any new ideas into the play. When observing K.H I learned that she tended to be the leader of the group. She was involved in a lot of associate play. She initiated different activities during free play and seemed to have a high level of thinking. For example when the children were playing with the farm set, she said now the cows are going to be my kittens and had everyone call them kitties for the rest of their time playing with the farm set. She seemed to be telling the other children what to do and said things like Im not going to be your friend if another child didnt want to do it her way.
