Important things that I remember....

I remember when I was in Mr. Putnam's classroom and the class had to write a paper about what we wanted to be when we grew-up.  Mr. Putnam ask me did I really want to be a Lawyer. And I said I think so. He said that one day he could see me in leadership. He never stated to what capacity. But looking back on it. He always told me that I like talking and being the leader. I guess now I understand what he meant. I love talking with my students and enjoy reading to them. I enjoy teaching.

Describe how each person influence continuesn to impact..

My Mother, til this day continues to support me in my goals. I don't believe if my Mother wasn't so nuturing and loving that I would be a good mother to my children and a nuturing teacher towards my students. 

With all my teachers growing up, each one brought something positive into the classroom. Coach Cain, was compassionate for the needs of the students. Mrs. Williams was loving and caring. Mrs. Johnson, was nuturing and caring also. Mr. Putnam was tuff but fair, and wanted to see children reach thier highest potential. My Mother and teacher's that I named, are the reason I have the love for what I do.

Describe each person...

Juanita Bell-McCoy is my Mother. My Mother was the best Mom, any child could ask for. She was a good cook, and baker. She always cooked big Sunday dinners. My Mother took care of me when I was sick. She nutured me from the chicken pox to fallen off my bike. She told all her children how much she loved us growing up. And that love a nuturing has stayed with me through out life. My Mother is the reason I'm the woman I'm today.

Mrs. Williams was my fourth grade reading teacher. She was so sweet to me. She would always help me when I was having a hard time with words. She would always say take you time and sound it out. She never gave up on her students and she cared for our well being.

Mrs. Johnson was my fifth grade teacher, she was my mentor and role model. She always made her children feel special. Some fridays she would give the class a picnic for doing well on our spelling words for the week. She never mistreated or was mean in no kind of way. She told me to STOP saying what you can't do and start saying what you can. She was like my Mom away from home.

Mr. Putnam, was my seventh grade English teacher. I love this teacher. He challenged me to do my best, evenwhen I struggled. I will never forget Mr. Putnam because he gave tuff love. Teacher's like him don't come e very day. He was tuff, but fair and his passion for teaching was so evident.

Coach Cain, was my eigth grade Science teacher and my Gym teacher. He was so cool. He understood what kids went through when they couldn't afford gym uniforms, he would just allow students to wear what they had, as long as it represented the school colors. He showed students love an compassion. He died about three years ago. Coach Cain left a legacy for students who came in contact with him.

My passion for the Early Childhood Development

I really didn't have a picture of a child's drawing, but I do have a strong passion for Children. It brings me great joy in seeing children grow and bring creativity to the classroom. We do a lot of art work, painting, and drawing within my class. Children never seems to amaze me of how creative they can be. It is my life long commitment to be the best teacher, leader, mentor, role model that I can possibly be to every child I may come in contact with.

He will never be forgotten..

When I lived in Minnesota, I worked with special  needs children. I worked with a child by the name of Mike (changed the name). This child touched  my life in a way that I will never forget. He was developmental  delayed, but he was the sweetist child I had ever known. Every morning when I entered the classroom, he would make this loud noise and clap his hands. The other teachers would say"Mike here comes your favorite teacher. Even though he couldn't talk, his facial expression and gestures, let me know that he loved me being his teacher. Children like Mike, never leave your heart. To this day I often wonder about him and pray that he's fine.  

My Favorite Quote of all Times

"It Takes a Village to Raise a Child"

This a biblical Quote, but I'm a firm believer that it stands true.

We as Parents, Educators, Neighbor's and etc must and shall build a strong foundation for the children of our future.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I love this book. It allows the kids to have such a wild imagination. The colors and
creativity of the book, keeps the children focus.
