My Mission

2008-05-06T14:42:00.001-07:00

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
This is my teaching mission
Teaching is a gift that one pass to another
everyone is created equal
we all come from different backgrounds but we all share a common goal that is to be the best we can be

Reading books is fun; they contain interesting story lines and cool pictures. But do you know all the work that is put into producing a book? Well you will! For this task you will have to come up with a story line and include pictures in a book that you will create and present to the class!

You will get in groups of five and come up with an interesting story line. After the book is written, your group will then go out and take pictures that relate to your story. You will combine your story and pictures and form a book out of this and present it to the class.

Learning can be very challenging especially for
Teacher's who teach children with special needs
but I belive that a person's desire and passion
can better assit them in life's most difficult situation
taken this class has allowed me to expand my horizon and
encourage me to be the best teacher I can be.
