Hi! I am also a student in the Early Childhood Education Program and just finished my first semester. I have completed both of those assignments. Looking back, I was a little confused as well but found that the hardest part about the observation project was not interacting with the children in the classroom and having to choose between so many nice toys for the toy project. Usually, if you look to the right of the assignment right before the take exam option there is a study guide. In the study guide are specific instructions and guidelines to complete each assignment. It even covers font and headings! If you require additional assistance please contact once of the program instructors at 888-427-1000. They are always happy to help.
I hope I provided you with some clarity.
Best of luck!
