I choose to submit this artifact because it illustrates how I make the link with students family to promote a wonderful learning experience for all my students. their learning. This helped me grow as a teacher because it helped me realized the importance of keep a flow of communication to assure the success of all of my students. Parents began to feel relaxed coming to me or calling me to address any questions or concerns because they can count on me to assist them and their child in any way possible. At the beginning of the school year I was excited about my new position as a bilingual K4 teacher. Not to mention, I was very nervous too. All that crossed my mind was that I will soon have a classroom full of little ones, some with preschool or daycare experience and others with absolutely no experience of a structured place with many other little ones joining them too. However, what worried me even more was the fact that this package included parents as well. …show more content…

For example, one of my students had surgery and was on a soft food diet for three weeks I was in contact on mom on a daily basis to let her know how she was doing throughout the day. There have been times when I had to call parents with concerns about student’s attendance, lack of homework or discipline problems. These phone contacts made a huge difference with my students’ attendance, attitude, and behavior. Their homework was turned in on a timely manner and their behavior improved. I also began to send notes home to parents to let them know if their child has done something wonderful in school that day. I think that sharing the positive feedback with parents, as well as, the negative is very helpful because parents always enjoy hearing when their child has done something nice.

    As I was walking through classrooms today it became apparent, again, how well our teachers and aides provide such a wonderful education.   Mrs. Vandebossche had students looking through microscopes examining pond water to pick out paramecium and other simple life forms. They were excited to find new specimens swimming around and interacting with each other.   Mrs. Lyons was describing novels and their story lines to her students getting them excited about reading.   Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Pfister, Mr. Wilcox and Mrs. Coon were discussing the upcoming Veteran’s Day ceremony to teach kids and honor our vets.

    In the nine years since I have known Shawna, I have never seen her walk away from a challenge, especially when it involves a child. She not only set high goals for herself, but she instills this drive in her students. She applauds them when they reach a goal, but can also provide the support when they fail. Typically, a new teacher has a limited amount of experience and requires a significant support; however, with the experience and knowledge Shawna has obtained in the classroom, she will be an experienced teacher at a beginner’s salary.

    Teachers that are receptive to emergent bilingual students have an in depth understanding of how language and subject matter education occur and have a broad span of tactics and methods to education as well. The only and greatest way for emergent bilingual students to achieve success in school is if we give them real chances in our classrooms to use language. According to Lucas, Henze, and Donato, there are a couple things we can do as teachers to contribute to the success of emergent bilingual students in our classrooms. We should put worth on language and culture and have high hopes for our emergent bilingual students.

    Some people say it is better to grow up in a small town, while some people say it’s better to grow up in a big city. I believe that it is better to grow up in a small town rather than big city. I have lived in both a small town, and a big city. I feel that a small town will be better for the following reasons. If a student was to be put in a small town school, the school would have a lot more one on one time than a school in a big city school.

    My observation four was conducted at the same location as my previous observations, at Jackson STEM Dual Language Magnet Academy in Pasadena California. I found it difficult to make objective observations since getting to know my students more. The question I took with me into this observation came from our class agenda the week of October 18th, the question that I based my observation was “ does treating all children fairly mean treating them the same?”. It was nice to see how the teacher took notes on each child during the day to report to parents at a later time concerning the progress their child has been making behaviorally and academically.

    Before I started this assignment I would have given children who are attending learning support tests to determine their reading and spelling age. I now realise that getting a reading age and spelling age and comparing it to the child's age, gave me little or no information about the child and how they learn. I would also have only talked to a child intermittently about different aspects of literacy, gaining only some insight into how the child was feeling about school. Through carrying out the discussion part of this assignment, I discovered the benefit of just talking with the child about their schooling.

    When reflecting over how I have created positive professional relationships with my students throughout these last two years of teaching, has truly allowed me to see what great bonds I have been able to create in such a short time with all of my students. Living in a rural farm community, in which I grew up for most of my life, allowed me to easily form positive relations with my students because I knew most of them as children. As a younger teacher I have had to explain to students that I am a friendly person and teacher but I am not your friend. This surprised a few students but they understood my reasoning that I am their teacher and they are to respect me in that way rather than as a friend. One way that I have been able to really connect

    As a teacher, it is my responsibility to share information on the development of the child and have a clear and constant flow of dialogue with the family. This will enable both parties to deal with any issues that may arise within the family, school or community. It also my belief that parents should have an active part in their child’s learning and be able to lend a hand whenever necessary, and having open communication with them will allow this transparency and connection between home and school. The community is vital in ensuring that the facilities around the community and school is appropriate for the different children and families to live in and grow.
