It was a great first day for me. Just like Faye, I too enjoyed the reads and discussions and found it to be informative as well as useful for this second year teacher and language and literacy student.
This brings to mind a Latin Proverb that best represents my experiences from the reads and discussions. “By learning you will teach; by teaching you will understand”. This quote is the epitome of my inspiration for the day as I will continue to learn, teach and understand.

I like your quote, Darlene, because I'd like to think that I am constantly learning more everyday with my students, because of my students. Maybe it's because we get to see theories and ideas in action or that we're forced to anticipate students' questions, but I do feel that I understand something more deeply after having taught it. Yay, Language and Literacy program!
ReplyDeleteDarlene, yet another class with you,I'm greatful for your encouragements and insights, it helps to know that I'm surrounded with classmates who can collobarate and work togehther!
ReplyDeleteDarlene, I really like your quote. This is so true for me because even though I think I know my subject matter, I always get a different perspective of it when I teach. I always get a better understanding of my subject matter when I put it into action. There are often aha! moments.
ReplyDeleteI think its great how we all are learning from one another, we all have so much to share with one another on the topics that we discuss in class.
