Whats up class. I hope everyone's week was great. Well unfortunately I still haven't had my book delivered yet so I'm not able to blog about the chapter. The book should be here by Sept 15th. I hope I'm not the only one with this problem. However I was able to find a few helpful websites for my author profile. The author I'm doing the profile on is Margret Rey. Her and her husband are co-authors in the series of children's books called Curious George. On this site http://www.lib.usm.edu/~degrum/html/research/findaids/DG0812f.html, there was a lot of biographical information and other helpful background information. Another one of the websites also contained some baxkground information as well as how Curious George came about. Really interesting stuff. That site is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margret_Rey. The last site I looked up was a very user friendly site. It had links to other games, activities, books, and other cool features. It also had a little passage on the home page that talked about how they were able to write such a good book. The reason thatMargret Rey gives is that she looked to the child within herself. She also says that she just thought about what kind of books she would have liked as a child. The link to this site is http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/features/cgsite/history.shtml. Well that's it for me. See everyone in class.
I know I said my book hadn't came in yet but i just checked the mail and there it was in a package. One thing I found interesting about this chapter is that it talks about how one teacher told another teacher that not all students could learn. If a teacher thinks like that then she needs to retire or get another job. All students can learn but it is up to the teacher on how to differentiate the instruction so that it meets every students needs. Chapter 2 was interesting too. It talks about how teachers need to realize that we are going to have all different kinds of cultures in their classroom and it is up to us to be familiar with them all. This will allow us as teachers to better serve our students and not place inappropriate labels on them due to their cultural background.
