All children learn at there own pace and I understand that all children are not the same. Each student has their strengths and difficulties in certain areas, as an educator, it is important to realize our student's strengths and weaknesses and likes and dislikes. When we see some students falling behind we are able to grab their attention by using different methods and their personal interests. I believe allowing children to grow and develop at their own pace and not pushing them into new lessons without mastering the previous can be beneficial for the student. Children who hit certain milestones early on does not mean they are healthier than their peers who may still be trying to mastering the task. All children have different abilities and educators can help children expand on those skills by planning proper activities for their students. Students can make new connections, teach a friend, and create their own learning experience, which is extremely beneficial since children are natural learners.
I wanted to thank my colleagues for the last eight weeks, and I look forward to working with you in the future. Good luck in your future classes and I wish everyone a safe and loving holiday season!
Warmly,
Nicole Severson
