This week I read about the contributions of Deborah Leong and Marian Wright Edelman. Below are two quotes that I enjoyed from my readings.
Speaking about developing literacy skills through play: "To read, children need to realize, for instance, that c-o-w represents the word cow, and the word cow represents the animal. Play that promotes this understanding involves children in using their imaginations with open-ended materials - a marker might become a magic wand, a block can turn into a boat." - Deborah Leong
Speaking about child care and health services: "The Lord didn't tell us to take care of every other child. I think he really did mean for every child to have a fair shake." - Marian Wright Edelman.
In week 2, Raymond Hernandez's presentation was the one that spoke to me the most. I loved the following two quotes:
- "Passion comes from wanting to make a difference."
- One little sparkle will make a difference for me."
Allison,
ReplyDeleteI like the quote by Marian Wright Edelman. Every child deserves a fair chance at life and education. I feel in this generation some teachers are letting children slip through our education system without learning anything. I believe every child should be provide quality education.
