Personalizing Your Blog


                        This is my Preschool graduation picture.


My favorite book as a child the Nursey Rhymes from Mother Goose.  This was my favorite book because my mother and my grandmother used to read it to me by singing the nursey rhymes like “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” and “Humpty Dumpty.”


This is one of my Preschool student’s picture.  I choose this picture because it has vivid images.  I remember as a child, I had the opportunity to have a limitless imagination and unlimited creativity.  I used to love drawing pictures as a child.

    Hi Teresa,
    I love the drawing. Children are very smart. Many times we think that they are drawing circles and other things, but after they are finish there is a story behind it. I love watching my students draw and having them tell me about their picture when they are finished.

    Hi Teresa,
    Children's drawings are so fresh and innocent. I think they speak volumes to adults. I took a class that was titled Celebrating the Arts. Something that stood out to me was that we were told not to interpret the child's drawing for them. We should always allow them to tell the story behind their drawings. I use that with my preschoolers currently and now love to hear what they come up with.

    I really enjoy reading books now as an adult because It was one of my fondest memories of myself when I was a child because my mother taught me to read at the young age of 4 years old and I have loved books ever since. I think I LOVE reading even as an adult because I always I associate it with fond memories which brings happiness so I feel like if I can associate good things with reading I can impact a child to love reading as much as I do.

Professional Goals, Hopes and Dreams

One of the new insights that I gained in relation to international early childhood education that relate to my professional goals is to be a leader in my community, for I want to own a daycare center.  That way, all children would be able to receive an education.  According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (2011), “The Education for All Global Monitoring Report 2011 noted that 7.3 million primary school-aged children in Pakistan were out-of-school in 2008 (UNESCO, 2011), the majority of whom were girls” (cited in Mahmud, 2014, p. 6).  Unfortunately, it can be implied that in Pakistan, many children are not obtaining the knowledge they need to move forward in their education.  If I had my own daycare center, I would make sure that every child in my community would receive some type of schooling so that they are not lacking the foundation necessary to aide in their development.  While I plan to take the initiative as a leade...

Final Blog Assignment

There are many outcomes that I gleaned from learning about the early childhood field from an international perspective.  For instance, according to Hale (2014), there are three consequences that early childhood practitioners learn about how the field is enduring overseas.  She writes, The first consequence of learning about the international early childhood field is that as early childhood educators, we live in a world that calls for continuous change, and therefore, information on best practices and best policies can be utilized throughout the world.  The second consequence of learning about the international childhood field is that having an awareness has to be developed.  When early childhood practitioners are unaware of their students, the students’ families, and of themselves, then the opportunity for discussion and growth cannot be established so that all parties understand the willingness to be invested in children’s development and children’s education....

Examining Codes of Ethics

NAEYC code: 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. This code is significant to my professional life because field of early childhood education, the best practices and information utilized to educate young children continues to change.  I have been in the early childhood education profession for almost 20 years, and because my professional goal is to own a daycare center, I have to stay informed of the changes in practices and techniques needed in the early childhood so I can provide young children with the education they need to progress in their academic journey. NAEYC code: I-1.3—To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.  This ideal is important to my professional life because as an early childhood education professional, teachers must be able to recognize that   each child is unique and different. When working ...
