My Favorite Childhood Book

The Cat In The Hat has always been one of my favorite childhood books. I loved this book because the children got into so much mischief while their Mother was out of the house.  I also liked how the words rhyme. The book is I almost know this book by heart. 

Notes From My Classmates in EDUC-6005

Code of Ethics

 

As a future early childhood educator I found the following 3 ideals from the NAEYC code of ethic meaningful to me as a professional. As an educator it is always important to try to be familiar with current trends and ideas within your field. I am currently doing this by pursing my education in the field of early childhood education. The knowledge that I will obtain during this program will better prepare me to meet the needs of the students I work with grades K-3. The second ideal addresses creating an environment where children can feel safe. As educators we need to make sure that the children we work feel that they are cared for in their classroom. This can only be done when teachers respect their children and provide a nurturing atmosphere for them to grow and learn. The last ideal addresses being an advocate for all children. I am already doing this as a special educator in a self-contained setting. It is my job to make sure that my children have access to additional supports when necessary. Many of my students have difficulty with expressing themselves verbally and have fine motor difficulties. It is my responsibility to make their needs know to the professionals who work with them. The speech pathologist and occupational therapist work with inside of the classroom so that my children can be successful in the classroom and outside of the school setting.  

I-1.1—To be familiar with the knowledge base of early

childhood care and education and to stay informed

through continuing education and training.

 I-1.5—To create and maintain safe and healthy settings

that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and

physical development and that respect their dignity

and their contributions.

I-1.9—To advocate for and ensure that all children,

including those with special needs, have access to the

support services needed to be successful.
