I would like to thank Myrnali, Yolanda, Mary, Tanya and Posh for all their continues support and contributions to my blog. I wish you all continued success as we go through this journey.
You are most welcome, I really want to thank you for sharing such wonderful information. We all share the same resources but everyone interprets things differently and it helped me understand the material and discussions. I wish you much success and look forward to interacting with you in the near future. Much success to you as well. Please keep in touch if you so wish to.
Stephanie, My pleasure! I am so glad that we were able to learn from one another these past eight weeks. It takes a village to teach one child, and in our master's courses it takes all of us working together to truly grow and learn.
When reading your quote above, it made me think of another that I found: “When you are born into a world where you don’t fit in, it’s because you were born to help create a new one.” ~ Anonymous
Because it's anonymous I chose not to include it in my original post, but I do love it. So often we try to fit children into our own box, and transform them into what *we* think they should be. Instead, the objective for us should be to give them guidance and love to dream big and move beyond what we have accomplished for ourselves. This is what I look forward to most as a teacher - inspiring and filling those little angels with love!
Good luck as you continue your early childhood journey. May we meet again soon, and continue to support and learn from one another.
In the past few years, my family had a lot of financial difficulties, there was not enough money for bills and food, I was working between 2 to three jobs, taking any kind of work that come my way. Having 2 small boys on top of it was very difficult to manage. I always needed help to watch them and was always shuffling them around from place to place. They had no order no structure and constant chaos, they were always crying and upset They started to withdraw and struggle in school. The became very clingy to me. Their eating habits were terrible. I had to take better control of the situation. Thankfully I was able to find more stability in work and able to be available for my children on a constant basis. They are happy well adjusted and thriving as a 13, 11 and 8 year old young men. Extreme poverty leads to stunted development, limited future productivity as adults, and inte...
Why is your simulation important to the field of early childhood? My simulation regarding the difference in quality of early childhood education between high and low income levels is important because All children should be afforded the same quality education no matter what their economic status. Once we can identify the gaps in quality we can fill the voids and ensure all children are provided the same education. If you were to conduct your simulation proposal, who would benefit? The simulation will not only benefit the children in low income areas it can benefit the educators by identifying gaps in the programs so they may be addressed and better programs put into place. What are some of the ways your perceptions of an early childhood professional have been modified as a result of this course? My percept...
According to vaccines.gov safe and effective vaccines have eliminated some diseases like small pox and Polio which in the past have killed thousands of people. New vaccines are only releases and administered after long and careful research. Getting vaccinated and following a schedule can protect not only children and adults but also babies who may not be of age to receive certain vaccines. (vaccine.gov). The importance of getting vaccinated against worldwide illnesses before traveling outside the United states is extremely important to protect yourself from diseases we do not have in our country and to ensure not bringing the illness back to our country and causing an epidemic. Pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria, measles, HIV/AIDS and malnutrition are the primary killers of children in the developing world. These children die because they are poor, they do not have access to routine immunization or health services, their diets lack sufficient vitamin A and other essential mic...

I love this quote. All children are unique. It is important that we focus on their strengths and provide support to build on their weaknesses.
