Reflecting on Learning


My most passionate hope for my future in working with children in the early childhood field is that with each year the things I have learned will become easier to do and that teaching an anti-bias classroom will become second nature. This is just the beginning for me and any children that I may teach but I hope that with each class I get better and they are able to learn in an environment that they feel welcomed, accepted, and cherished so that they flourish. I want the children that I teach be able to look back on their first years of learning with happiness and take what they have obtained from me and build a great career of learning.

I want to thank all my fellow bloggers for being so supportive and active in this course. It has been a great 8 weeks and I cannot believe that it is over. I am sad that this is almost the very end, but also extremely happy that it is. We all worked so hard, enjoy your Holiday celebrations and I hope to see you all in our last class!!!!

  1. Hi Elizabeth,
    It has been great working with you. I can't believe we're at the end of our program. I have learned so much from you and our classmates. I liked what you said in your post about wanting children to enjoy their first years of learning. I would love to be a Pre-K teacher. I'm really looking forward to transitioning from special education to early childhood. Have a wonderful holiday!!

  2. Elizabeth, As I mentioned in my discussion post, I have really enjoyed being in the group with you. I have learned so much from reading your posts about your personal and professional experiences as they relate to anti-bias education for young children. You inspired and motivated me. Every week, you were always the first to submit your posts for the discussion board and the first to post your blogs. If I was unsure as to how to respond to a criteria on the Discussion or Blog assignments, I could always rely on reading your posts and getting a better understanding about what the criteria called for. Thank you, you have helped me more ways than you know! I wish you continued success in your studies and career.

  3. Elizabeth,

    I have really enjoyed learning about diversity and equity and also hope that I will be successful in creating a learning environment in which all children and families feel accepted, respected, and welcomed. It has been a pleasure working with you. I wish you much success as you continue your professional journey. Enjoy your holiday, and I look forward to see you in class after the New Year!!!
