Reflection

I would like to thank all of my collegues for your insights throughtout this course. I have gained a lot of helpful information through our blogs. I hope that we all take this information that we have gained thus far and use it in both our professional and personal lives. I look foward to working with you in the upcoming classes.

Working as a team

I would say that it is harder to leave a group that has a great performance because you feel like you are a part of something great.

Adjourning from my colleagues will be a bittersweet moment because I have gained so much valuable information while working with them, It will be a good moment in time because we have reached yet another goal and can continue moving forward, impacting our community, students, and everyone else around us.

recent conflicts

I recently had a problem with a grandparent. She was upset because her grandson did not receive a cupcake during a birthday party that we had. The children were told at the beginning of the day that they had to have a good day in order to participate in the party. The boy along with three other students was not given cupcakes due to their behavior that day. The grandmother called upset about what happen so I ask her what she suggest happen. She suggested that I tell his mother or put him in time. I explained to her that I had talked to his mother everyday through our behavior chart which has to be signed each night and the center does not allow us to place children in time out. In this situation it was important for me to stay claim and keep an open mind. The grandmother’s tone completely changed when I ask her for suggestions.
