Child/Children Observed: Whole Class

Anecdotal Record: The students were observed and recorded

during our two main lessons. The first two pictures at the top
show how the students would follow the two-step instruction of
wetting the paper towel and putting the bean inside. Each child
was given the same instructions every time. The next 4
pictures are evidence of the students learning the different
stages of the lifecycle. The last picture is of the students using
their fingers and hands to pick up and count the beans.
