jellybean
station,
a

(McDevitt,

and
a

problem
station.
At
the
jellybean
station,
I
observed
his
ability
to
distinguish
equivalent
amounts
of
jellybeans
in
different
sized
zip
lock
bags
with
the
prior
knowledge
of
how
many
jellybeans
were
in
each.
He
relied
his
answer
on
the
size
of
the
bags
instead
of
thinking
about
the
amounts
of
jellybeans
in
each
bag.
The
water
station
was
similar
and
was
also
conducted
to
observe
equivalency
in
the
amounts
of
water.
Again,
he
was
a
bit
confused
because
he
relied
his
answer
on
the
size
of
the
cups
of
water.
Lastly

observing
my

I
went
over
a
few
simple

and

word
problems.
He
had
a
difficult
time
when
I
had
think
about
a
problem
with
both
math
operations
in
it,
but
going
over
the
problem
with
actual
objects
(crayons,
in
this
case)
helped
him
a
great
deal.
informal
than
the
physical
and
cognitive
ones
because
I
didnt
actually
set
up
an
actual
task.
I
observed
him
without
him
knowing
that
I
was.
At
our
church,
while
around
other
children
his
age,
I
noticed
that
he
takes
on
the
leader
role.
When
a
group
of
children
get
into
mischief,
the
blame
always
traces
back
to
him.
I
also
noticed
that
he
acts
a
lot
on
impulse.
After
observing
him
at
church,
it
was
really
interesting
to
observe
his
socio-emotional
behavior
at
his
house.
He
is
the
youngest
out
of
five
children,
with
the
oldest
sibling
being
25
years
old.
It
was
quite
astonishing
to
see
his
role
instantly
change
from
leader
to
the
follower.
He
wouldnt
get
into
mischief
(teasing
his
sister
or
the
pets)
if
any
of
his
older
male
siblings
wouldnt
approve
of
it.
He
showed
more
respect
for
the
male
role
models
in
his
home
rather
than
the
women.
He
really
showed
that
he
had
situated
motivation
because
his
immediate
environment
[enhanced]
motivation
to
learn
particular
things
[and]
behave
in
particular
ways
(McDevitt,
513).
observed
him
more
than
I
thought,
even
before
these
portfolios.
However,
using
the
guidelines
in
Child
Development
and
Education
by
Teresa
McDevitt,
observing
him
was
much
more
enlightening
because
I
did
it
with
a
new
insight
and
a
distinct
purpose.
