When I first started school my parents brought me a chalkboard easel. I would line up my teddy bears and act like I was their school teacher. I didn’t realize it then but I have a deep affection for young children and my heart fills with joy when I see them learn something they didn’t know before. That’s why I am attending Tuskegee University and majoring in education.

Inspire the children to create! Read The Dot or Ish by Peter H. Reynolds to them. Show them pictures of relief prints that might peak their interest. Draw inspiration from the outdoor: explore the colours, flowers, bugs, birds, and bees of springtime, basks in the gloomy colours of rain or the bright whiteness of the snow. Present them with actual articles to look at, like flowers, leaves, branches, fruit, and vegetables. I suggest demonstrating the final step of the activity to get the children excited, as pulling the paper away to reveal a print seems to be the most appealing for young children.

There are three teachers in the classroom, one does reading/lesson circle with a small group of students, another does arts and crafts, and one of them circulates throughout the room helping students with their work-plans. The teacher that circulates around the room all the time appears to be the head teacher and when a conflict arises she is the one to mediate it. The way that the teachers speak with the children is as if they are equals, they aren’t talked down to and the students give the teachers complete respect.
