Favorite Children's Book

Favorite Children's Book
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by: Bill Martin, Jr.

This is my favorite children's book because it gives children a great appreciation for letters! It teaches children the letters of the alphabet in a fun manner, with rhyme and rhythm! I always read this book at the beginning of the school year and the kids always love it.

Check out this website for activities and lesson plans for this book!

Professional Hopes and Goals

One hope that I have when I think of working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is that they feel that they are a priority to me and my classroom.  I hope that they understand that I am interested in who they are and what they bring.  I also hope that I show them just how much I want to gain their trust in knowing that I am here to make them feel part of the classroom.  I mostly hope that they understand that we are a team and I value who they are!
            I would like to set a personal goal for myself related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice!  I will take more time to continue to learn about families from different backgrounds and lifestyles different than my own.  I will show these families that I am a neutral resource and can be trusted by them.  Even though I may not agree or understand at all times, I will put my own beliefs aside, to make sure that families know that I am trustworthy and willing to put their needs first! 

            I would like to thank you all for your support, kind words, encouragements, and ideas to help me move forward in my journey!  I have truly learned so much and am honored to continue in this learning process!  I wish you all much success in your journey also!
