  (b) Cite your source regarding who or what article or book helped you complete the independent component.

               My mentor Ms. Adrian and the other teachers at my mentor ship helped me the most in guiding my activities                      and giving me advice on how to make them go more smoothly. Also the article Art Influences Learning by                    Anna Reyner gave me valuable back ground that helped me pick my activities

• (c) Update your hours in your Senior Project Hours link. Make sure it is clearly labeled with hours for individual sessions as well as total hours.

• (d) Explain what you completed.    

                   For my independent component my mentor let me lead the class room once a week by creating activities that  

                  helped the kids learn a concept, idea or practice a skill. So every week I prepared an activity for the class to                        complete.

• INTERPRETIVE 
  Defend your work and explain its significance to your project and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work.   Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.   

            My work helped me developed my first answer and create the activity for my first lesson. They also helped me get real life insight to where all the kids are developmentally

• APPLIED
  How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate this. 

         This component helped my come up with my first answer. After doing all these activities with them and seeing how much they learned from doing it I realized that preschool did play a key role in helping kids understand fundamental concepts.
