Not just playing....learning!
Saturday, June 22, 2013
Hi friends,
Being a preschool and lower grade teacher, I hear from parents that the child goes home and say "we just played today", what?!?!? I also have a preschool age child myself, my beautiful Gigi that turns 4-years-old today! and when I asked what she did at school today, I also get the same answer! If I didn't know any better I'd think I am wasting my hard-earning money on preschool...which I'm definetely not!
I feel it is our responsibility to explain and educate parents in what we do in the classroom and what skills they are developing when they are "just playing".
Here's a collage of four different learning centers and the skills they are working on while visiting the centers.
Keep learning!

Meet my Family...My Inspiration
Saturday, June 15, 2013
Hello friends!
I just realized that I haven't "introduce" myself...silly me! I want you to meet the people who inspire me and who support me in everything I do, my family!
Well, this is my family, part of them. Now you can have a better idea of who I am, what to we like to do as a family and where's my inspiration comes from and translates into the classroom and my students.
Be well!

Student Teaching Tips!
Saturday, June 8, 2013
Hello friends:
After lots of research right before I began my student teaching for my master's program I did find some interesting tips on how to 'survive' and make the best out of this experience.
Although I have been teaching for almost 10 years, this experience was terrifying to me! What if I am not able to follow the teacher's management style, what if I do not agree with her classroom philosophy? what if her teaching style was different from mine?....lots of questions running through my mind.
The pressure was on! My university required to have a minimum of 90% in order to pass, otherwise I would have to begin the process all over again...not even mentioning the tuition that I would have to pay...again!
Even though I was completely scared, I learned tons from this experience and my cooperative teacher was amazing! Very knowledgeable, resourceful and willing to help me through the process. The third graders were amazing; I was able to teach and differentiate my lessons and activities for the below, above and at level students - a wonderful learning experience for me!
Here I have compile some very valuable tips that I learned and carried me through this process in which I earned 100% . All those 3 and 4 hours of sleep nights were well worthy!
I just hope these tips will help student teachers out there to make their experience and journey amazing, like mine was!
