What I Have Learned
One hope that you have when you think about
working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds
I want to be able to acknowledge families that
come from diverse backgrounds. I want to
make them feel welcome, secure and openly to talk to me at anytime of the
day. By posting different cultural
activities, such as dancing, eating, and religion on the bulletin board and
talking about the different ways children live will help children realize that
everyone is different and don’t need to be talked and taunted. As we sit around in group circles, I want to
allow our young ones to be able to talk openly and continue to have that
respectful relationship like anyone else.
Because we all know that everyone deserves to be treated right and let’s
continue to have social justice for all.
One goal you would like to set for the early
childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice
I want to be able to create social justice for
children in the early childhood field.
Being able to let the families, along with their children participate in
any activity that is going on related to issues of diversity, equity, and
social justice. Furthermore, I want to
be able to talk about the many different issues that are going on pertaining to
prejudice and bias in the field of education.
A brief note of thanks to your colleagues
I would like to thank my colleagues and
professor for being such loyal individuals to my discussions and blog posts. I’m looking forward to many of your comments
and hope to see you in my next class.
Good Luck and Happy Holidays!!
Janet,
ReplyDeleteyour post is very uplifting, and I am positive that you can create social change within your classroom. Your students will certainly benefit from the knowledge you've gained these past 8 weeks, and I bet the families will be positively influenced as well!
Good luck in your future courses!

I love your idea of making a board full of all the different cultural activities that children and families can participate in. I think this would be very welcoming to all families. I like how you mention that you want the children to be able to talk freely. I think this is very important and will take this with me. So many times we only want children to answer the things that we ask them and don't take the time to just let them talk. This is something that I really need to start doing more. Thank you and good luck!
