1."Responsive teachers allow each child's interests and motivations to emerge as a focus of the curriculum" (Friedman & Soltero, 2006, p. 1). Consider the vignettes focusing on toddlers in the article "Following a Child's Lead: Emergent Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers."Provide at least three examples of how the teachers in these vignettes use children's interests to provide a foundation for engaging curriculum.

Focusing on their curiosity, for example Arlae Gomez finds out that some toddlers were afraid of touching the snails but one of the girls’ days that she has them at home (Friedman & Soltero, 2006). The teacher uses that chance to teach the toddlers about the nature and what exists in it.

Observation and correction of certain behaviors that the children love doing for instance, when the 18-month old toddler was observed harassing others and the teacher used the chance to teach the toddler on how to relate with each other.

Making the children understand that there are positive elements that are retrieved through attending classes. Most of the students who attend classes can be engaged and encourage about the nature. Master Teacher

2. When planning daily experiences for toddlers, you must take a variety of factors into account. Describe the process of developing daily plans for toddlers, and identify at least three factors you would consider when planning for individual children.

The planning should focus mainly on the practical activities since kids like playing and through playing they get to learn more about several aspects and also increase their activity (Gestwicki, 2013). Therefore, the process should narrow into playing and partially classroom routine. Factors to consider while preparing individual children include age, the flexibility of the toddler to the plan and the time of each activity in the plan.

3. An engaging curriculum for toddlers is comprised of moments that can be developed into ongoing projects (Swim, 2017). Describe the benefits of using projects in the toddler curriculum, and explain how webbing can serve as a useful project planning tool.

Mostly toddlers focus on the means and not the product of the action because of that project utilization may serve the situation. Similarly, through projects toddlers get to interact with the process which increases their memory and the ability to carry out the demonstrated idea. During toddler stage kids learn mostly through experiencing and project guarantee a room for experience acquisition. Webbing is important as it aids in thinking all elements of the classroom planning. There are various forms of webbing each type is designed in a manner that it serves its purpose. For instance, the thematic webbing helps in the brainstorming.
