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

Hi Nicole,
ReplyDeleteI love this quote! its so true. Many parents worry when they see other kids achieve things before their own child, we all have to keep in mind that they all learn differently. I will admit with my youngest child I was concern about the things other people's children was doing before he did it.
Hi Nicole,
ReplyDeleteAs teachers we are to teach lessons individually to a child's needs so they can learn. Thanks for supporting me in my blogs and discussions by answering questions and offering new suggestions. I enjoyed helping you the best way I can with responding to your blog and discussions as well. This journey wasn't as bad as I though it was going to be. Hopefully we would be enrolled in the same classes and you would continue to pursue your masters with Walden. I hope that you do well in your future endeavors in the early childhood education field.
