I am actually very excited about this class. I am a little apprehensive about everything that we will be doing however I think this class is something I will be able to take with me as a future educator. I truly enjoyed the literature we read and listened to and I loved the name activity we did. It is so fun to think of what our names mean and I think that was a great way to get to know some of our other classmates. I enjoyed reading about the little boy that recognized that the letters in his name were also in his mom's name. I think we all learn so much from kids. Working in classrooms and being a mom to a 3-year old, I am constantly learning something new and I am anxious to learn in this class from others.
I have always loved writing. I had amazing teachers that shared stories with me and the class that allowed us to feel comfortable to share our own stories. My teachers were always giving constructive criticism and allowed writing to be something that we wanted to do. I have many journals and diaries that I have kept and I think that keeping a writing notebook is a great opportunity for us to express ourselves.
I look forward to what the semester has to bring!

Lindsey, I also really enjoyed learning about our classmates' names after reading those two excerpts. Also, like you, I have lots of journals and diaries that I have kept from the past. I always loved writing about my day-to-day experiences. It is so interesting to find random journals when I am cleaning my bedroom back home and reading through those old entries!
Learning from kids-they are our teachers too!
