what i have learned

My hopes as i will work with children from diverse back grounds it to be able to provide them with a safe, respectful, accepting, and reflecting of their diversity. I additionally hope that this education will help children develop a better self identity thus reflecting in their beliefs and attitudes. My goal is to keep educating my self and others in and out of the educational profession as individuals and a society of the importance of acceptance, anti bias attitude in which would help in producing a future generation with a healthy self identity.

It is always  a pleasure to work with previous classmates and getting to know the new ones , and i am also thankful for every one sharing their experience and knowledge in order to each other learn and improve as educators. I wish to see all of you in the next course if not i wish you the best god bless may you always live with kindness and acceptance.

“We Don’t Say Those Words in Class!”

children can ask and behave  in unexpected manner since their life experience is very minor an example of that is an incident that took place with me and my son when around this year as he saw a disable child and asked me while pointing towards the child “mommy why doe that girls face look wearied ”  though i know from my previous education that i should my best not to make a big deal about the topic and try and make my child understand with out drawing attention in a manner that would be offensive towards the other child i still was taken buy surprise and immediately told my son to lower his voice and not to point at people. As the conversation continued with my son i tried to explain fro him about genetic disorders and what might cause disabilities though it was hard for him to understand the why some children born like that but i tried to explain it in a way according to his age as i told him that how would he feel if people pointed at him and said why is your hair brown and does that make him uncomfortable or not , so he answered that he would be embraced so i explained that he can ask me question about any thing that he does not understand or about people but he has to be discreet about it and may be save it until you get home .

since that incident  my son started to Waite until we get in the car and in such a funny manner say oh my god mommy i am going to die and ask you about something , i hope that in this way he would learn to be more sensitive towards differences between individuals and accept them. childrens curiosity is an amazing and fulfilling feeling as a mother and hopefully a future educator.
