I am guessing from your resources that you are interested in child behavior issues. Am I correct? I am going to check out Parenting With Love and Logic. I enjoy reading parenting articles and am always looking for information that may help me in raising my boys.
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Maureen, it seems as though all the resources you provided were related to behavior issues. What made you go in this direction for your additional resources? I will refer to some of the ones that you linked because I have a few children in my class that struggle with behavior issues.
I took note of some of your books and will try and find the time to read them or at least the subtitle to see which ones can help me in my professional goal. Thanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteGreat Resources. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteThese 8 weeks have flown by so fast for us! Through this time I have enjoyed working alongside you and looking forward to reading your postings on your blog and discussion boards each week. I would like to thank you for all your hard work that you applied each week in our discussion boards, enriching us all with your thoughts and opinions. Within this experience I was able to look at situations differently based on your thoughts and our colleagues. I believe that the journey we are able to take together will be intense, enriching and rewarding all at the same time. So again, I thank you for challenging my thoughts each week and I look forward to working with you again in future classes. I am confident that you are well on your way to achieving all your goals!
Amanda,
ReplyDeleteOnce again, thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge with me throughout our course. Your perspective has helped to broaden my view of the ECE field. The effort and thought you put into each assignment was valuable and truly appreciated!
ReplyDeleteAmanda,
I wish you all the best in your future endeavors in your journey through the masters program. I have really enjoyed your blog postings. Your page of references was very helpful; you showed me a lot of new websites I didn’t know was around. Thank you for expanding my knowledge of how early childhood programs are ran in your state as well. I hope we have more classes together so we can continue to grow together.
Best wishes,
Nicole
