Poland

The name of my families orgin will be Poland!
One thing I will do to make sure my new student feels right at home when she comes into my classroom is to:

  • Make sure my individual lesson plan is geared to helping them adapt to their new environment.
  • Make sure I'm aware of my own biases when it comes to different cultural
  • I will also make sure I have different displays of their cultural and books around the classroom.
  • Make sure I'm open to different ways of teaching that might need to done in order to make the transition easier on both parent and child
  • Finally having a packet ready and also translated for them just incase they cant quite understand or read english yet.
With these preparations in mind I hope it will bring me and my new family and student closer together. This will help our relationship start off on the right path and build trust. You always want to make sure the parents feel at ease when leaving their child for the first time at daycare, and I believe my methods will make them feel comfortable and at ease.

    Hello,
    Your post made me think. I do not know of anyone from Poland either. While doing this blog post and reading others' responses it is so interesting to think about all of the countries that we may know nothing about.I appreciated where youu stated that you would try to make sure that you are aware of your own biases. That was a very important statement. Many times people do not take into consideration that they miust be open minded and accepting of other's cultures.

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...
