This has been an interesting week for me, as i was clueless about blogs. i felt like it was not explained to us fully and also wrong of me for not contacting and getting updated on how it should be done.  i am a full time grade R teacher and some how it does not seem to be enough time to go around in order to get things DONE!!! When i become anxious i have to collect myself and reassure myself that its going to be well. what i do to keep the stress levels down i go on a hike or cycling and it really helps me to remain calm and relaxed. sometimes i just go to the beach front and sit on the sea sand and watch the waves go back, THAT IS VERY SOOTHIG FOR ME.

study unit 1 has definitely been eye opening because this study unit has really given me a lot of insight regarding how children develop in certain areas of their lives. I was definitely in experienced about the abilities children have when they enter school. This study unit got me reading about different ways they develop and how the different people like PIAGET, ERIKSON and VGOTSKY study different development and explained to us about the children's development. It was also interesting to me to learn about how their musical abilities develop and also at what age they start to develop their musical ability. All these different skills and abilities that are related to music, interrelate with each other.

The content of this study unit is extremely important. It teaches me exactly how the learner develops holistically and tells the me how the child should be handled.
