Let me know what you think!
Hi Machaela, thank you for the resources. I will definitely use all three that you posted as they will be very useful with the courses that I teach. I can see myself incorporating the diverse information in my classes as well as sharing them with my colleagues. I was actually speaking with a colleague this afternoon and I was asking her if she has heard of The Ooey Gooey Lady. She is anxious to hear more information and she asked for the url for the website. Our main focus is play-based learning and how learning should be relevant and meaningful and her focus is the same. I am excited to read more from their website.
ReplyDeleteThe TORCH resource by NAEYC is also helpful as it gives a great breakdown of what NAEYC is and the services they offer. We provide our students with lots of literature from NAEYC as required reading and some of our students are interested in NAEYC so this would be something that I could make available to them.
I have not heard of "Conscious Discipline" before, so I am anxious to take more time to get familiar with the information on their website. Everyone wants to know how to have classroom management. It sounds very positive which I really like and could relate to.
Thank you for sharing your resources...now they are part of mine!!!
Take care,
Stephanie
Hi Machaela
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your sites. The Ooey Gooey Lady, seem to be very interesting.
I can't wait to look it up.
Hi Machaela!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to learn about Conscious Discipline!! It goes right along with so much that I teach and I had not learned about it until now. I will definitely be researching it further. Thanks so much for posting!
