Week 2

This is me now:


This is me when I was 10:


 I really like this quote by Benjamin Franklin:

I think this book is cute. I love reading it to my classes every year! The children can read along with me and become involved in learning colors. They are encouraged to be reading by themselves.

  1. I love that quote. I believe that a person can tell kids things all day, but if you dont teach them it is pointless. A father can tell a son to be a great man, but if you do not teach him howhe isure to fail.

  2. Rose I love this quote also. It is very important that we not only tell them but we show them. One quote I like by Emma Goldman is: A thought for the day. No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure. That's where we come in.

  3. Hello Rose,

    I believe your quote and children's book relate to each other to demonstrate your style of teaching. By creating hands-on learning experiences, such as having students to identify the colors in the story, then doing an enrichment activity based upon your story, you are involving students in their learning in a more meaningful way. Making learning meaningful to student's cultures through the use of stories and show-and-tell is a wonderful way to inspire students to teach collaborations and understanding starting at a young age. Wonderful post this week!
