Feeling Better

Hello Everyone,

I am feeling a lot better about blogging. Technology is not so bad once you get use to it. I am learning new things everyday. Sometimes it is best to come out of our comfort zones.
Well, I have decided to upload a picture of my son and myself. I have also chosen to write about  something else that fuels my passion and to list a book that I love and why.


The book that I have chosen to write about is entitled, Yoko by Rosemary Wells. In the story, Yoko's mom has packed her sushi for lunch. Some of the other children made fun of her food. The teacher Mrs. Johnson decides to do an international lunch day so that the children will try new foods. I love this book because there are so many concepts to be taught from this book. You can expand upon feelings, nutrition and respecting other's individuality. This is a very simple, but good book.

Now, something else that fuels my passion for early childhood is the love I have for advocacy. I think that families should play an active role in their child's education. This helps the children, their families and the teachers. I really am getting the hang of this blogging action!

Well, until next time
"That's all folks"

  1. Hi Michele--

    I like the Rosemary Wells books--this one is new to me and it looks great! I want to add it to my book shopping list.

    Your post this week looks great. You are getting the hang of it. It has been a big learning curve for me too!

    Looking forward to reading your posts--

  2. I want to thank you for this reference. In International schools I always have many nationalities in my classroom and very often kids, who have no filters, make nasty comments during snack time about their classmates' snacks. I am always looking for books or references to talk about tolerance, acceptance, differences... and this one will be one for sure now.
    So thanks
    Julie
