Completing observations can seem like a tedious task. You might think to yourself, I see the children all day, why do I need to document it? Observing children is about more than seeing the children engaging in the classroom environment. It is a means gaining real insight the children's as they explore plan and learn. We learn from monitoring children’s physical actions, expressions, gestures and behaviors, and listening to them talking and interacting with others. We discover how children are developing, their likes and dislikes and how they learn through their play and interactions.  It also reveals more about the child as an individual, and how they interact with other children and adults.
