(a) I, Alexis Crisanto, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 31 hours
and 45 minutes of work.
(b) During my component the person who really helped me through it was my fellow collaborator,
Ingrid Nicole Mata. We would get together discuss our topics, what we planned to do for our blog
and overall just bounced ideas and thoughts off one another.
(c) Hours have been updated.
(d) During my independent component 2, Ingrid and I created a wonderful blog and a pinterest where
we collected information and ideas based on what professionals have gathered themselves or what
they've personally done with children in their classrooms. We also met on various occasions at
school to just discuss what we will each be writing for a blog post or what we would like to
accomplish for this project. I also did some individual research for my posts' that are on our
conjoined blog. This really helped me because outside of research check I wasn't really doing any
intense research on my own.
INTERPRETIVE
As I mentioned previously through many trials and errors, and lots of blog construction, Ingrid and myself created a blog where we talked about articles we found, ideas we hoped to recreate, and activities we found. We did one but unfortunately weren't able to get it on camera because of technical issues but we did learn from the experience nonetheless. Below are the pictures of our creation from The Alexis and Ingrid Show!

APPLIED
Being able to share ideas and discuss each other's different experience when dealing with children was such a great experience. I learned all she had from her mentorship and I'd like to think that she got the same from me. Being able to have someone there with whom you share similar topics is amazing. When we would discuss what we would be writing for our next blog post we would talk about our answers to our own EQs, how we came up with them, why we choose them and just spend time sharing information. It has helped me "own" my answers in a way because I've discussed them with her for such a long time that I feel more at ease answering questions about my topic, essential question, and my answers as well as experiences I've had at my mentorship.
In my last independent component I observed my mentor and as much as I gained knowledge about how she taught and how she gathered information herself it was totally different doing it myself and posting about it regularly and finding new information. This component helped me answer my EQ, what is the most important skill a child develops in preschool that helps them best excel academically in kindergarten, by helping me look for research, outside of my research checks, that validated my reasons behind choosing the answers for my essential question which where: fine motor skills, executive function skills, and social-emotional skills.
