Let's do story time more!

Wow, I can't believe that it is actually over. It seems like just yesterday when I was sitting here trying to figure out how to do this damn blog thing, and just couldn't for the life of me figure it out. Here I now sit, an old pro, and thinking that this came to an end entirely too fast.

I loved class yesterday. I have to say that it was in part for having multiple workshops, which are always interesting to do, as well as a great icebreaker, that reduced many to fits of laughter... But my favorite was the last "tools" section that we had. I really wish that we were able to do more of this type of work. Maybe in another class...

Having Zalika tell us some of the useful things that she does with her class and students really helped give me some ideas of how to apply the knowledge that we have been learning for the past few weeks. With all of this information and all of these resources that we have been building, it's nice to actually see how it can be used from one who has used them.

I also loved story time. I almost think that it would be worthwhile in class to have a story time every day. Pick one child's book that relates to something that we are learning about and read it aloud. This would not only be nice to see some of the great children books that are available, but it would also give us ample resources that we can take into the room to teach children about some of the issues that we all discussed throughout these last 8 weeks. Anyways, that's all I have for now... Peace out all, and thanks again Zalika for all you've taught us.
