The continuation of my shared reading /literacy enhancement internship is moving toward my ideal outcome with very minimal improvising. During the past two weeks, I participated in my second parent informational session with the same set of parents with two new additions to explain what the children and I had been working on since the start of the program. The parent informational session took place on March 6, 2016 comprised of seven parents out of the 16 that was invited. The informational session lasted approximately 45 minutes from start to finish.

I have been charged with creating a combination class that can service all ages in the shared reading experience with a biblical blend during church services. One suggestion I will need to work on will be to adjust my ability to work with individuals that have a different vision that doesn’t align with my own vision. The infant/toddler Sunday school teacher, which is also the first lady of the church, has her vision of allowing children to engage in play opportunities without any interactions on her part, that she considers free play. In regards to my own belief system by engaging in play with children by taking clues from children by observing their play with peers and interacting by facilitating techniques that can build on an opportunity to scaffold development. I also have to make changes within the room that I utilize for this project to make it developmentally appropriate for ages (0-5). The need to research shared reading activities DAP for children birth to kindergarten will be a slight enhancement due to my focus on children ages (3-5). These two new adjustments can help support the demonstration of strength and perseverance when faced with adversity from individuals that aren’t like minded.

    School To Prison Pipeline Analysis

    In our current model, there is high levels of inequity regarding who gets to go to preschool. While this may seem petty, preschool is vital for developing vocabulary, and for establishing school routine and procedure.

    Reflection On Llama And The Bully Goat

    During family literacy night I was able to practice my DLTA lesson and my storytelling lesson. A variety of students asked to hear a story first and others asked to be read to. The book I read was Llama Llama and the Bully Goat, and the story I told was The Gingerbread Man with a different ending from the traditional story. Family Literacy Night was a great opportunity to practice my storytelling skills, and practice what questions allow them to think deeper. Although I enjoyed it there were moments that I thought about changing some questions and even changing my book.…

    What Is Non-Traditional Parenting?

    The use of non-traditional parent education programs, such as library preschool story time, can improve outcomes for children at high-risk by providing information and resources to parents in a non-threatening way using an engaging method. As a Children's Librarian in a high-poverty area, reaching under-served children and families in an effort to improve childhood literacy and family engagement is of paramount importance. Early childhood parenting programs are known to improve outcomes for both children and parents (Auger, Stevens & Sontag, 2016), but are not widely available to, or well attended by, families in the area adjacent to the King Family Library (KFL). Therefore, local schools have requested help from the library's Children's Department…

    Observation Of Early Childhood Education

    Developmentally appropriate practice is the process of deciding what is best and more appropriate for children, based on their individual age and stage of development. This includes discipline, food, scheduling, and communications. From my experience, children are capable of learning advanced concepts at an early age and although it is vital to select content that matches the cognitive capacities of students, undoubtedly students can benefit from more in depth material. My sons were taking high school classes starting in 6th grade. By the time my son went to high school, he had 6 high school honors classes.…
