When I Think Of Child Development

I have known I have wanted to work in the field of education every since I was a little girl. As I got older I was able to do tutoring and work in summer programs which allowed me to gain experience. I learned so much from the teachers that I worked with, I admired them for their knowledge and wisdom. Since I have been an EHS teacher I have learned just as much from the children as they have learned from me. It amazing to see them develop from the time you get them. I feel like before my career is over I will end up working with middle or high school students. Early Childhood education will forever be in my heart. Below you will find some quotes about children that I like, I hope you enjoy!

Free the child's potential and you will transform them into the world-Maria Montessori (Bird 2012)

For children play is as natural as breathing, and as necessary- MIMI Brodsky Chenfeld (Bird 2012)

It's easier to build strong children than to repair broken men- Frederick Douglas (Bird 2012)

Children must be taught how to think not what to thing-Margaret Mead (My favorite quote of all).

I also want to give an professional thanks to my colleagues Melody and Nicole. You two were both very inspirational to me in your blogs and discussion boards. Each week I looked forward to what new bright idea's and aspects you both were going to share. I want to also thank both of you'll for being professional at all times and always offering a kind word. You both are going to be master educators in whatever field of education that you choose to work in. Keep your heads held high and don't let any one or anything distract you off of your path to success. I wish you both the best and I also hope to see in our next class.

I look forward to continuing my studies, and I wish all of my classmates nothing but the best!
