Final Blog Post

As I look back on the experience of this class, I have to say YAY WE DID IT!!!!!!!! I am very thankful to both Nancy B. and Ashley M. for commenting on my posts and offering me words of encouragement throughout the class. I also have to thank Sisie for enduring all of the technical difficulties, changing due dates, and offering constructive feedback. I know that I would have been lost writing the research paper without all of the assignments and feedback throughout this course. I am hopeful that all of the research I did will help me boost funding for my own program and will allow me to ensure that I run a Quality Early Childhood Education program, that serves at risk families.

I thought it was great that you interacted with a family like that. It is also nice to hear of a family who promotes literacy development. I was wondering if there is a second hand store in your town. I pick up a lot of books for my kids for like fifty cents or a dollar. We let my daughter go in and pick out three books at a time and she gets to keep them! Our library here also offers an on-line catalogue where you can reserve books; this also may be an option for the family you were working with.

I have seen the use if notebooks as well as a communication device. I think that the notebooks are great for day to day information, but what about a parent teacher conference twice a year? I know we have a problem at our center that the parents do not take home the information we put in the children’s cubbies. We try posting stuff on the walls, and creating parent information boards yet still the best way to really get information out is to talk to the families directly.
