My Favorite Teacher
My favorite teacher was my kindergarten teacher. It was then when I decided that I wanted to be a teacher. I remember wanting to go to school because I just loved being in her classroom. She would make learning fun and interesting. She made the classroom feel safe and inviting. She was always very nice and understanding. She was just a great teacher. She helped me when my grandmother passed away she was there to listen to me and help me get through this hard time. She was just a good genuine person. Here I am years later going to school to become a teacher.
Chapter 1 Summary/Values
Chapter 1 Summary
In the first chapter it talks about the values of literature for children. Literature is supposed to motive, entice, and insturuct. Literature also is supposed to open the door to endless adventures. Literature should also be taught at a young age. Literature can also help in the development of children. As children we learn in stages and not at all at the same rate. The four stages are Language Development, Cognitive Development, Personality Development, and Social Development. Personality Development is different every individual No two people will have the same personality. Some people's personality continues to change as they get older, others change because of dramatic events that occurs in their life. Another thing that Literature plays a strong role in is helping us understand the value of our cultural heritage as well. When reading a book it lets the imagation of the child wander. There are alot of different books that a child can read and it can teach them a number a things. There are informational books, fiction and nonfiction just to name a few. There are books for children at all different age groups.
Values
A value are what help you decide what actions you will take or what goals you decide to make for yourself. It is something that can be taught to you by parents, friends and even teachers. A value that is very important to me is respect. I think I learned this from mother. Respect is something you need to have not only towards yourself but towards others. Whens speaking with someone older I was taught to say Yes sir, yes ma'am.Even when I was younger and in schoool teachers taught you to say please and thank you. I think that certain values can be taught of course we can't force the values that we believe on someone. I think that respect is one that can be taught because as you get older you will need to be respectful. When you are in a job interview I think it is important to be respectful to the person giving you the interview if you really want the job. It's just a way of showing that you have very good manners. I tell my nephews that they need to say please when they ask for something or say thank you when they are given something.
