I hope that as I continue my journey in education that I remember the lessons learned in this class. I hope that I will always make the children and their families feel comfortable and do my best to make the needed accommodations to include them as an important factor in my classroom. I hope that I will remember to be aware of the effects that negativity can have, to be mindful of what I say and may imply.
One goal that I would like to set for the field of early childhood is to continue to be an advocate for the children and their families that are unable to speak up for themselves. Especially in urban impoverished areas there need to be more advocates for the necessity of quality early childhood education.
At this time I would like to take this opportunity to offer a great “Thank You” to all of my colleagues/classmates that offered their opinions, and left statements to my blog as well as to our class discussions. It has been a challenge to open up and let people have a glimpse into my world. However, it has been an enlightening experience that I am glad that I have shared with you. I would encourage all of us to continue to make strives into the world of early childhood education. I hope to “see” you all in future courses.
