Journal Notes for Practicum 3b.

Write your journal in paragraph form. It should be a minimum of 100 words and clearly illustrated with
photographs. Remember, it is your personal account of your thoughts, feelings and reactions during your
time in the preschool. Consequently, you may choose to focus not only on the discussion points raised in
each observation and/or use one, all or none of the following focus points in your journal.

You can use this table to make notes / jot down ideas during TP. It would also be helpful to consistently
compare this practicum with previous TP experience and reflect on your professional development with
reference to the TP Competencies.
