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 be different being a room with someone else who don't really know the kids and their routine. Without precious status we would have to go back to writing everything down for the parents, and they wouldn't be able to see whats going on with their child until they picked them up. Gloves protect us from infections, sickness, poop, and many other things we may come in contact with.
The challenge I chose to imagine was opening my own daycare on day! I would want the support of my director for choosing to go out on my own journey in the early childhood field. I would also want the support of my family and friends, because I know starting your own business can be stressful at times. I would need support from bright from the start in order to get my business up and running. Most of all I would want support, strength, and guidance from God to make sure I make the right ethical decisions and be successful. Not having a support system can effect a persons sense of self and sometimes bring their confidence down. Without God nothing is possible!

    Hello Angelique, it is important to have that continuous support of coworkers in order to achieve a career. without the support of my coworkers I don't think i would have as much motivation as I do to continue my education and efforts. We all want that need to be support by someone or something... Great Blog!

    Good luck!

      Angegique Awesome choice for your sharing your support. I didn't even think to go this route as far as sharing full support or my challenge within the ECE field. I surely agree with you, that when you journey out to open your own Day Care the continue support from your Director, friends and family is there. When I started my in Home I can say I had an abundance of supporters, my best friend Aunt was already established with her In Home in the same state MD, therefore, she was my huge support back then of walking me through. Then my director of the Day Care Center I was working for, was getting a whole new center makeover and therefore donate all the toys, cots, art supplies to me. My dad was very supportive, my guy friend at the time, and one of his best friends help me design my logo and put my parent package together. I can go on, but wishing much success in your journey and let me know if you need any help or ideas I'm here too!

    I too think of opening my own daycare some day! It takes a tremendous amount of time and energy. Like you said, it is incredibly important to have a team of supporters behind you to allow for a smooth transition, especially those whom are already in the field.

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.

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...
