Childbirth

The personal birth experience I chose to right about is my own. From all the stories I hear from my mom and my family me being here today is a miracle from God. During my moms labor somehow the umbilical cord got tied around my neck, which lead to me losing oxygen. Once the doctors finally pulled me out I was blue in their terms “dead”, my mom always says she wouldn’t open her eyes until she heard me cry. They worked on me for a couple minutes and after awhile I turned pink and had my first cry and my mom was relieved. Every time I hear this story I just imagine the horrible things that were going through my moms head and also how it is truly a blessing that I am here today seeing I was technically born dead.
I chose this experience because its unique and very rare. I believe that the birth has many effects on child development such as if anything would go wrong during the birth it can sooner or later effect the development of the child. Even if the mother isn’t taking care of her self properly can affect the child tremendously. “Russia crude birth rate, at 13.2/1,000 in 2013” (Karlin, 2016) and is predicting to keep rising over the years. It really has to do with the fact there are so many women there as well. Many other countries take bearing children very seriously unlike the U.S. were people are just getting pregnant to keep a man around seems like. Children are our future we should respect them more.

My Connections to Play

1."We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” -George Bernard Shaw 2.“Play is the beginning of knowledge.” -George Dorsey When I was younger play was a major part of my daily routine. I was barely in the house growing up, if anything I never wanted to back inside when the street lights came on. I learned so many rights and wrongs from climbing trees, riding my bike in the street, missing curfews, having play dates also taught me social skills as well. Parents always wanted the kids out the house, because sitting in front of a screen wasn't teaching them what they can learn from experience. Now a days it's a rare chance you see children who actually want to go outside and play, and that's all because of the time of techonokogy. Parents need to watch how much time they are letting their kids be on these tablets, cell phones, and computers.

My Supports

Within my daily environment I have a lot of people and things that support and aid me in getting my job done correctly. Some things I rely on and would have a hard time functioning without in my classroom is the app called precious status which is the form of communication between the school and the parents about their child. I never knew how much gloves came in handy either until we ran out one day and it was very hard trying to change children with the improper gloves or clean up for that matter. My director and assistant are also supportive people who help me throughout the day to make the day go smoother within the classroom and outside. My director makes sure I'm up to date with all my required trainings that way I can be the most effective teacher for my students. My assistant makes sure I'm not overwhelmed within the classroom and helps me with lesson plans, activities, and many other aspects of the classroom. I would be able to function without my assistant but it would...

Expanding Horizons and Expanding Resources

The podcast I chose to follow is called, "Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers". From this episode I learned some very good tips and practices I can put into effect in order to make sure I'm getting the proper rest and self-care I need. Teachers are no help to a student if they aren't in the right state of mind to teach, and that can be for many reasons such as lack of sleep, lack of eating, lack of exercise, lack of training, and many more reasons. Sometimes I get stressed out in class because I don't have all the materials needed to properly teach my students, yes they come first but if I'm not being supplied with the materials to teach them with then my state of mind is being jeopardized. Self-care goes a long way instead of just sitting around at home watching t.v. like I do I could watch an educational documentary and improve my skills as a teacher. This podcast is meant to, "speak life, encouragement, and truth into the minds and hearts of educato...
