Week #2 quote and book title

Below I have included one of my favorite quotes about early childhood education:

"In early childhood you may lay the foundation of poverty or riches, industry of idleness, good or evil, by the habits to which you train your children. Teach them right habits then, and their future life is safe.”- Lydia Sigourney
The quote really hits home in terms of where I work.  The studnets in which I teach and from low income, poverty stricken homes.  This quote reminds me why I work so hard and strive to help them become all that they can even the short time they are in my classroom.

Below I have also included one of my favorite stories growing up as a child, There's a Wocket in my Pocket! by Dr. Seus.  i love this story, along with many others. This one stands out to me though because the items mentioned and the words he created make me laugh the most.  I get very excited being able to share this story with my students.  I love Dr. Seus and cannot think of a better time of year when we get to celebrate his birthday in school. The students, and teachers, come dressed up in their pajamas to school and wear crazy hats that we make ourselves.  The parents are also encouraged to come to school and read to their children.  The studnets love the day and especially the green eggs and ham they have for lunch!!

 

 

 

Below I have included a picture of my fiance and me while we were at a Beach Boy's concert over the summer.  We are currently planning our wedding and may slowly be going crazy trying to get everything done.  Not a great picture but the best one that I could find to upload and I liked.
