Ending of class

 First I want to say thank you to all  my classmates. This has been a great learning expereince for me. I believe that all of our  insights have lead to some great discussion post.

 A goal I would like to sit for the  Early Childhood field about diversity would be to help children understand that being different is a great attribute.  I think that teachers not meaning sometime   show favor to one student over others.

 A hope I have for  helping families and children.  would that they help pass the knowledge of a peaceful community and nation on for generations to come. I as an educator  I need to help parents  understand varing cultures  which will allow them to  correctly answer questions that their children may have about other cultures and races.

Art

 I Joy Douglas have learned from this class that to have a nation of peace, I must start with my own family. The picture of the earth to me represents how every person within the world could work hand in hand for peace, respect, and understanding of others. The pictures of my children remind me that to help teach others about peace, respect, and understanding, I first must teach them.

Children and others who are different

 As a pre-k teacher who taught inclusion, I have had  some children who have never been around any  other children with a disability. Two years ago I had the previlage to have a little girl who had brittal bone syndrome and could not walk. She scooted around on the floor . I had children at the beginning  of school who called her a baby. At first it made me mad and i told the children not to call her a baby.
 I think by doing these I hinder the childs understnding that  some people are different in different ways.
 As an educator, I begain to think  that these children have never been around others with disabilities so the next day I read books about being different. I also read a book a bout a child with brittal bone syndrome.  Then I let the child with the disability show the others what all se could do. After this all the children began looking after her.They would make sure there was nothing on the floor that would hurt her.
