Quotes
"The principle goal of education in the schools should be
creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply
repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative,
inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept,
everything they are offered.”
www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/j/jean_piaget.html - "I could not think without writing.”Jean Piaget"
Jean Piaget
"Of course children
benefit from positive feedback. But praise and rewards are not the only methods
of reinforcement. More emphasis should be place on appreciation--reinforcement
related explicitly and directly to the content of the child's interest and
efforts"
"As you consider
whether to move a child into formal academic training, remember that we want
our children to do more than just learn how to read and write; we want them to
learn in such a way that they become lifelong readers and writers. If we push
our children to start learning these skills too far ahead of their own
spontaneous interest and their capacity, we may sacrifice the long-range goal
of having them enjoy such pursuits."
"Passion
is also about pursuit. It is not passive.
People with passion are driven to pursue and create. They may read books and
observe others, but they are not content being bystanders. They feel an
overwhelming urge to engage, to experience for themselves and to test their own
capabilities. Passion compels us to act."

It’s an energy source. When you’re on fire about what you do, it energizes you, and you
can
put that energy back into your work. Instead of the energy drain that work
represents for so
many people, your work actually becomes an energy gain. So not
only are you getting energy
from what you’re doing, you also aren’t having to dig into your energy just to get
through the
day. The energy differential is huge.

Personal Childhood Web
Personal Childhood Web
I had five
wounderful people who I truley love for their support.
My Grandmother Joyce O’Neil, My grandfather Robert O’Neil,
My father Eugene Green, My mother Evelyn Davis. Uncle Herbert O’Neil
My Grandmother Joyce O’Neil is a God fearing lady who work
hard.. I lived with my grandmother for several years. I was taught how to be a
young lady, and to God as my savior. My
feelings for my grandmother are so special because she took the time to teach
me how to cook, sew and just to be a young lady. She was the youth director and
she is now 84 and is still spending her precious time with young children at
church. I love my grandmother I Thank God she is still around.
My grandfather Robert
O’Neil was a very strong man who believed in God and always took the time to
take me to all the sport events. My father is a understanding man and always in good spirt. He love take me on trips. He never was to busy to spend time with me, we would have long talk and about important life experiences. He want me to be success and go to college somthing he did not do. My uncle was my favorite he was a coach so he would give us tickets to all the games. I use to look forward to get to go to the football games. He always said do your best and neverr give up.
My beatuiful mother died 10 years ago....she was my cheer leader she wanted me to finish college and be a teacher like her. Well, I never thought about it until she died and then I realize this would be a good idea. So, I still remember her saying you can do, if you can't I will help you. Now 10 years later I have gotten my degree and working on being a teacher.
I always remember what I have been taught, and to know God
is never sleep.

A current photograph of yourself or one of you as a young child
A quote about children, childhood, families, early
childhood, etc. that is especially meaningful to you
While we try to teach our children all
about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.
Our children teach us what life is all about.
~Angela Schwindt
The title of a children's book you love and what you
love about it
Charlotte’s Web, This book gives a good example of
courage and determination and love the fact the animals talk in the story this
makes it so excited and fun.
A story about a child that touched your heart
I have several students this year that I work with
and there is one student that really stands out. He is a young man who is about
6 years old and lives at a group home. I have really done some sole searching
because he is so young and his parents don’t want him. He is acting out at
school and everyone is afraid to deal with him. He has grown very close to me
and I wish that I could take him home and adopt him. I never really thought about
how it feels to not have any parents.
An image of a child's drawing, and why you chose it
Because it is a happy picture, it reminds me of a
beautiful day after a good rain. I wish every day is bright and colorful.
Anything else that fuels your passion for the early
childhood field
What fuels my passion to be in the early childhood
field to help young children learn and be successful. I feel that I am excited and enthused about
this wonderful career. These are the years that humans grow developmentally so
learning is crucial during this time in their life. Early childhood field gives
you the qualities to be an effective educator for this age group.
