I am going to give a little background of what I am talking about. When I was at Wallace State Community College, I was part of the Child Development Program and one of the thing that I did was basically did observations at the primary school level(PreK-3rd grade). I even did a few months observing and even did some hands on activities at the schools from grading papers to even teaching them a lesson. I also did substitute teaching for a second grade teacher one time when she went home. Also, I did at least 1-2 years at Sacred Heart School in Cullman,AL. I was the teacher's aide(never got paid though but it doesn't matter to me) for kindergarten through second grade. I even did substituting for kindergarten through third grade at one point whenever they needed me. I used to do Wednesday Night's Children Church for 2-early 4's until I have to leave for health reasons.
So, that was where my background was and I also did field experiences while at college and right now health and family issues are what is telling me to slow down. However, I am very creative with what I want to do for my children and I am very gracious for the chance to tell others what I have witnessed and what I want to do in my classrooms. I will now do two blogs which for me is enough unless I could do some for another group.
