I thank to you ALL for being part of my learning experiences this semester. I learn a lot from you as my colleagues as well as our wonderful professor Dr. Rivera. It has been a joy getting to know and working with each other. Thank you for all the important information and experiences that we share with each other. I wish you a very very merry merrily Christmas and advance happy new year!

The End is just the Beginning

Since Day one, I have appreciated my colleagues Kat and Koneta and my professor Dr. Matilda Rivera in their constructiveness in their opinion and evoking their most meaningful intellect in our class discussion. I have learned a great deal from Chamot, even if I did not agree with some of her pedagogies or philosophies. Chamot's book is great for foundational education in ESL. I have had the pleasure of reading her work and finding out which strategies best apply to me and my ESL students in the classroom.

Great Semester

As we come to an end of our learning with ED668, I would like to take this time to say "Thank you" to all who were involved.  From Kone to Jerome and finally to Dr. Rivera.  It has been a joy getting to know each other in an environment which enhances one's knowledge about our ELL students.  

Wishing all a safe, blessed HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

One more school day then it becomes official...semester is done!  Being surrounded by two fellow colleagues and Dr. Rivera has made this semester a meaningful journey.  THANK YOU - KERESO - SI YU'OS MA'ASE.  Did I get that correct, Kone?  ;)

Lesson plans…the basic foundation of an educator’s duties!  Implemented an ELA and Math lesson with the students.  Students were greatly involved and enjoyed the activities as “planned.” 

Chapter 10 – Teaching Science in CALLA

Science…one of my favorite subject to teach in elementary!  There are times in which students will bring forth a question, which leads to their belief of God.  Questions such as, “How was the universe created? Why is the planet Earth the only planet where people exist?”  How does one answer without contracting one’s faith? 

Quote: 

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." -- Benjamin Franklin

There are times in which teacher’s become the student…one learns from each other!
