    Because they want to, and they like it
    Because they want to make art
    Because they want to be helpful and they want to make clothes for each other
    Also, they want to be creative

    I didnt learn by Ms. Jennifer. I learned at the childrens library where my mom used to work. They had
    a weaving place.
    You can bring your sewing box to a baby childrens museum and a big boy childrens museum. You
    would sew soft toys.

    Callies Digital Story

    Background Info
    I was placed in a private preschool called
    Gentle Hands. The students that I worked
    with were ages 3-5 years old. This semester I
    attended the school Tuesday through Friday
    8am-11am.

    Introduction to My Case Study Child


    My case study child is three years old. His name is Owen
    and he is a very active boy. He loves being outdoors and
    playing with toy cars. He would always going on
    adventures with his family, such as going to the park.
    Owen is a very enthusiastic and well-behaved kid.

    Routines
    As school started at 8:30am the children would play outside for
    an hour.
    Around 9:30am I would always set up the tables inside for
    snack time and call the students in two at a time to wash their
    hands to eat.
    After snack time, it would be circle time for 10 minutes.
    10:30am they would have free time until 11:00am and then I
    would leave.

    Funds of Knowledge
    The child's Funds of Knowledge is about taking what he
    enjoys doing at home, which is being active and playing
    with his toys. It also involves incorporating that
    information into my classroom.
    His mom teaches him sign language because his mom
    has friends who are deaf. I am fluent in sign language, so
    I can teach a lesson about the basics of sign language to
    my students.

    Connection
    Through my home engagement I can see that the
    student is a very active child. In the beginning, he was an
    extremely shy child, but then opened up to his
    classmates. He loves being active and playing outdoors.
    He always builds things with his building blocks and loves
    toy cars. He would always bring toy cars to share with his
    peers.

    Reflection
    I loved doing my home engagements because I thought
    this was a great way to learn about my case study child. It
    allowed me to learn more about the family and myself. I
    feel that the family and I established connections through
    our love for sign language and taking adventures with our
    families.

    Future Teacher Reflection


    I believe home engagements are important because they allow you
    to get to know your case study child in a comfortable environment.
    It is very important for me to understand what my child likes and
    how I can utilize that information in my classroom. I was able to
    talk to the family in their own home and have a nice conversation
    about their family in general. In the future, as a teacher my goal is
    to get to know each of my students, so that I can incorporate what
    the students enjoy in my classroom. I hope by doing this that they
    will enjoy coming to school and look forward to learning from me.
