The quote I chose is, "Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression."

Ultimately, the message here is that children are very impressionable and they learn from their environment. That is, children can become products of their experiences, whether good or bad. Because of this, it is best for teachers to give as many positive experiences as possible because children are more impressionable than adults, and this is especially true of very young children and adolescents. ]]> 2020-10-13 00:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/egutierr/thfpd30ige014ckt/wish/823190035 Brooke Wittlinger bwittlinger12240 https://padlet.com/egutierr/thfpd30ige014ckt/wish/826377174 “A modern teacher educates children to value their emotions.”

I think this quote is very powerful and can help open people’s eyes that teachers are not only helping students academically but also socially and emotionally as well. I think this quote lines up well with Haim Ginott’s theory in the differences of discipline instead of punishment. This quote is very important especially with younger students. From the second children enter school, they are constantly learning each year how to control their emotions, what to do when they are angry or upset. The hope is to have students think about how they are feeling instead of lashing out and acting out in ways that may be physical. I think another important part of being a teacher is to teach children HOW to explain their emotions. Explaining the emotion they are feeling and why they are feeling it to not only teachers but other peers as well.

I chose this quote because I think that children should hear about the positive progress that they are making. I believe that this type of idea would give students confidence. Children need to hear what they are doing well and they need to feel noticed for the hard work that they do. If they aren't rewarded or made mention of, they will start to not do the work and not find it necessary since they are not getting feedback. I think this is important to keep in mind especially for us as teachers. ]]> 2020-10-15 18:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/egutierr/thfpd30ige014ckt/wish/833569307 Mackenzie Matulevich https://padlet.com/egutierr/thfpd30ige014ckt/wish/836009594 “While parents possess the original key to their offspring's experience, teachers have a spare key. They, too, can open or close the minds and hearts of children.”
― Haim Ginott

I like this quote because it reminds us as educators, we too have a hand in the shaping and development of our students as growing individuals. It reminds us that while the parents to have an overall influence on both the nature and nurture of the child, with the correct resources and opportunities we can have a hand in the development of our students, especially those who come from less than favorable home situations. My mom has been a teacher for the last 15 years, and I can't even count how many of her students called her "teacher mom" or "school mom", or the times she'd apologize for coming home late because a student wanted to stay late and talk with her. In these times I would reassure her how proud I was, and how it was quite alright with me because maybe they needed her at that time and weren't so lucky to have a family like that outside of school. ]]> 2020-10-16 15:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/egutierr/thfpd30ige014ckt/wish/836009594 Skyler Wilson shw64418 https://padlet.com/egutierr/thfpd30ige014ckt/wish/836838046 "Parents often talk about the younger generation as if they didn't have anything to do with it."

I absolutely adore this quote. I think it is so, so relevant to the state of our society today. (1776 Commission? What kind of effect could this "patriotic curriculum" have on coming generations?)  Parents and educators are responsible for raising the next generation. This is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. Children are our future. If we aren't effectively educating them then they can't be blamed for their failures, or bigotry. ]]> 2020-10-16 19:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/egutierr/thfpd30ige014ckt/wish/836838046 Willy Girard willy55lb https://padlet.com/egutierr/thfpd30ige014ckt/wish/838032312
'Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression."

I like the quote. I feel like i can personally relate to this statement. Being a college athlete, when i go back to my hometown to workout, I end up helping a lot of the younger athletes and teaching them things i have learned and experienced. I really feel like I experience that statement every time i go home, most of the kids really adhere to what im saying and actually learn what i am showing them. Those same kids come up to Bloomsburg once a year to watch me compete and i really think it shows the impression you can make on a young mind.]]> 2020-10-17 22:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/egutierr/thfpd30ige014ckt/wish/838032312
