The video toddler observation seems like
an initial session for the kids. Like the kid
who was getting over the slop from the
slippery side and dropping the pictures
look like getting comfortable with the
environment of the classroom. The video
mainly centralized on a slip as the boy
enjoy the activity. He is getting along with
other kids in the classroom. The boy and
the others are left free to do whatever they
want. There are things that the boy can do
freely in the class seemed like something
he is unfamiliar with. Maybe that is the
reason behind he is liking the activity so
much. He also seemed to like having so
much fun. Also, the kid is communicating
with other kids and other instructors in the
classroom. However, some activities of the
boy may hurt him a bit, but there are
instructors to take care of it (Youtube,

Earlier said, the boy started to climb the
slope, not by the stairs but from the

covered with a flexible platform for the
kids to land on.

like with the slop and other stuff within the
classroom. The kids, and the boy are doing

feelings and emotion. Primarily the boy is
getting acquainted with his classroom and
with his classmates. Also, the kids are
