These are some of my favorite quotes:
*He who teaches a children learns more than they do.---German Proverb
*Children are our most valuable natural resource. ---Herbert Hoover
*A child's smile is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.----Author Unknown
*A person's a person, no matter how small.---Dr. Seuss
I love that quote by Dr. Seuss! Educators who think that way about children are the most successful with getting through to them. Children are capable of doing many more things than we as adults give them credit for. I have had children teach me patience, empathy and compassion for things that I would have never thought about. I was stopped by a child before killing a bug, she told me that the bug was alive and we shouldn't kill living things. I was blown away becaseu she was only three. Moments liek that make me love what I do, Teach!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your quotes. Through all of them we can see that there are so many angles to look at children and their learning. I also wanted to take this time to thank you for sharing your ideas and experiences through our course in Child Development. Best of luck in all future courses. Thanks again :)
