I cannot believe the time has come and I have completed my Masters. The last year and a half to two years have gone by very fast! Not only have I learned a lot from this class, but I have also learned a lot from taking this entire Master's class. The first thing that I have learned is about all of the -ism's that take place in education. I did not realize that there were that many -ism's that students face when they were in elementary school. I also learned how to deal with the different -ism's that children are facing.
The second thing that I have learned throughout my entire Master's course is making sure that my classroom needs to meet the needs of the different diversities. By doing this, I should create a bulletin board that can be viewed by the students and their families. Doing this will allow for the students and the family to know that I appreciate each and every one of them. Also, it will allow for the classroom environment to be positive.
The last thing that I have learned throughout my Master's is that children learn the most about themselves at the early childhood stage of their life. This means that when they are in preschool, the children need to be focused on and have a positive influence. This will have an impact on how their life is later on in life.
My long term goal would be to get involved in organizations in Arizona and other international organizations. In doing this, it will allow me to learn about different organizations and help make an impact on others lives. Getting involved in organizations will also allow me to be able to get my fellow colleagues interested and wanting to get involved in organizations.
Dr. Professor Dartt,
First off, I want to thank you for grading our papers hard. In doing this, it offered me with constructive criticism to help add detail to my papers. It also helped me become a better writer. Secondly, I want to thank you for responding to my questions and e-mails in a timely manner. Thirdly, I want to thank you for creating the newsletters that you sent out to us weekly. The newsletters gave me a lot more detail on each of the assignments that were due each week.
Dr. Colleagues,
I want to thank all of you for being positive towards me and giving me the advice and help that I have needed throughout my classes. We all deserve this privilege of having our Master's. We have all worked super hard for the last year and a half. I look forward to communicating with you guys beyond our Master's. If anyone ever has any questions, my personal e-mail is ezze1cm@cmich.edu. I look forward to hearing from you all!
Some of my famous quotes are:
"Children must be taught HOW TO THINK, not what to think." -Margaret Mead
"How one handles success of failure is determined by their early childhood." -Harold Ramis
"For children play is as natural as breathing and as necessary." -Mimi Brodsky Chenfeld
The perspectives on diversity and equity class had a profound affect on me as well. I am glad we were in that one together as well. I wish you luck as you move forward in your career. I would recommend joining NAEYC as your first organization... but I am pretty bias.

Colleague Chelsea,
ReplyDeleteIt is time to say farewell on a good note! I enjoyed reading your discussions and blog posts. It was a pleasure having you in this Capstone class. I also enjoyed each newsletter from the Professor that I often had to double check to make sure I got all my points in too! Newsletters are great aren't they? Something I will continue to use myself.
In ending this note, I wish you continued success with all your future educational endeavors. Congrats and safe journeys!
