Every kid needs a champion-Rita Pierson
I absolutely LOVE this video. Rita talks about how important building relationships with your students is. In the video she says something along the lines that if the student doesn't like you then they can't learn from you. I think building relationships is the foundation which we build everything on with our students.
I also chose this because PLAY is what early childhood is about. We encourage children to use their imagination, explore, and create. In my preschool classes we do a lot of singing, dancing, and playing. I just feel like this encompasses everything that early childhood education should be.
That video is one of my all time favorites. It is so inspiring. I agree that play encompasses everything a child needs for future success. I've enjoyed all your discussions and blog posts these last 8 weeks. I hope to continue to see you in Walden courses. I have gained so much knowledge from the personal experiences you have shared. Thank you Jes.
