Image of a Child

For our image of a child, we focused on the curiosity found in children. Furthermore, we focused on their desire to explore and deepen their knowledge by observing, investigating and asking questions which should be supported both inside and outside of the classroom.

I have chosen to include my image of a child on my website as I believe in the importance of viewing the child as capable. Furthermore, I believe that curiosity is the basis of learning and will allow students to deepen their understandings. Through observation, children will develop questions and wonderings they have about the world around them, which overall pushes children to want to learn new things. This image of a child has impacted how I will teach my future students as I will aim to foster curious students by providing activities where they can do so. I will encourage students to ask questions as well as guide them throughout lessons and activities.

Early Chilhood Resources

I have chosen to include this resource in my website, which is an important topic to teach children. This video uses child-friendly terms and discusses the importance of consent and respecting our bodies as it is our own. This video also discusses that although we are all different, it is always important to ask for consent before doing something with someone else.

I have included this platform on my website as it provides teachers with different ways to integrate creative play in the classroom. Furthermore, this website provides various challenges that we can implement within our classrooms, including STEAM with maker space activities. Furthermore, it provides teachers with the necessary tools needed as well as, how each activity works.

All I Really Need to Know Poem
I have chosen to include this poem in my resources as it demonstrates the importance of the lessons we as teachers will teach in kindergarten. As a future teacher, it is important to understand the role we play in our student's lives and help them develop as human beings. Therefore, we must remember that all the important life lessons stem from our kindergarten classrooms. 
Welcome to Holland Poem
I have chosen to incorporate this poem in my website as this poem discusses the subject of a child with disabilities. As future teachers, our classrooms will be filled with different types of children and it is important to welcome and celebrate this diversity. Although we may have certain things planned, it might not turn out that way and it is important to be able to adapt to these changes and differences.
