The main issue that arose while preparing my lesson plan was my lack of knowledge of my child as an individual. I have yet to meet her, and only know the characteristics of her personality and learning abilities that I have been told. This lack of knowledge, on my part, has made it difficult to know if my unit plan will be successful.
Furthermore, I do not think it is possible to anticipate every detail of the situation I will be working in. This cannot happen because there is always the possibility of spontaneous learning, which is highly possible with my plan of taking my child to an art exhibit. The reaction of my child to the art that is shown to her may completely change the process of the project I have so far planned for her. I realize that I need to be prepared for many different circumstances that may arise during my unit plan.
The only measure of safety I feel that accurately needs to be addressed is how the child feels about traveling outside her home with a stranger. Of course, her mother will be present, but I want her to feel comfortable enough to leave her home with me and experience an art exhibit. I do not know if the child has had similar experiences before, and there is the possibility she will shy away from this suggestion. For the rest of the project, I feel the child will be safe considering I am only working with one child, therefore my focus will not be distracted, as well as, her mother will be there supervising as well. As for materials, I now have the knowledge of hazardous materials as providing in Nadine Kalin's chapter, "Don't Run With the Scissors".
