"Reflection" ellamaeterryearlychildhood

     As I reflect on the incredible and difficult challenges I'v encountered, I'm glad to have made it through.  There were times, I wanted to throw in the towel.  I wanted to give up and simply throw in the towel.  I wanted so badly to drop this class, because of the difficulty I've experienced at the beginning.
     I'm not good with technology.  Setting up my blog account was one of those difficult moments for me.  The incredible experience came when the instructor did a virtual class with me.  I was at awe with her dedication to here students and the fact that she was willing to go that extra mile for her students.  Because of that, I'm now able to blog and respond to a blog.  My colleagues also helped me to blog as well with a greater level of confidence through their responses as well.  This provided me with the extra confidence I needed to complete each blogging assignment.  I really learned and enjoyed reading about all the wonderful and interesting topics as well as the positive feedback from my colleagues.
     As I reflect back on my observation with the Host Teacher, I learned that parents, children and families are important in the lives of others.  I could not have completed this course without theirs views and insights. They've enlighten my understanding about early literacy so much.  They shared so many wonder things about why they feel and their beliefs why early literacy is important in the lives of children.  I like to thank my Host Teacher for allowing me the wonderful opportunity of observing the interactions with the children and the Host Teacher.  I enjoyed listening and seeing the children engaging in early literacy activities.
    The writing assignment was one of the most challenging experience I've ever encounter.  I've didn't have the faintest idea about the importance of writing in such a clear and precise way.  I didn't understand how to write and give the credit to the person whom you are quoting.  I still struggle with writing, but the examples provided by the instructor made it possible for me to see and know the proper way of writing a paper APA style.  I struggled with gathering the information that would be beneficial to writing a paper in a professional way.  I did the assignment, but I still have my challenges.  I'm thankful for all the support I got to help me get through this class.
