Final Blog Assignment

From all the research this class has brought me I have learned many things that helped my professional and personal development in the early childhood education field. For one I learned that poverty is much more than what we see on the streets, and it affects children deeper than i ever thought. However, I also learned that there are many resources available to people that can help children and families in need. I have gained knowledge from my website ZerotoThree from all the newsletters they send about children and the importance of the early years of life. This website has really given me a source base for understanding children and why they act and react the way they do. This website also gives me a outlet to give to parent if they needed any resources or questions answered about their children. Even though I wasn't able to talk with my professional because the podcast had ended listening to all the old ones really gave me a great understanding of teachers around the world.
One goal I can truly say I want all teachers to accomplish is helping or reaching just one child and making sure they get the high quality education they deserve. In order to do that we have to stay on top of our trainings and anything new that comes up in the early childhood education field. Times are changing and we have to adapt with them! Good Luck to all!

    Angie, I like the way you expressed that "one child." If we can touch "a child's" life that would be a great accomplishment. I had one little girl tell me, once I started teaching the class, that "You are a g-o-o-d one! It gave me pride and encouragement to know that someone felt this way about me: My little female student. I hope that I can change lives and encourage every time I am on the platform educating. Great post!

    Angie, I enjoy reading your blogs. I found all of your blogs very informative. I like the way you stated "one child" I believe every educator can make a difference in a child life.

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...
