Day 3: Shalom

I believe I have reached some level of Shalom (peace) in today's class session, quite different from my Day 1, where I felt like a deer caught in the headlights.  

I really enjoyed reading Chapter 1 of the textbook and thought that the authors did a swell job of including realistic, relevant, and thought-provoking information about ELLs, policies, and general ESL instruction.  I would love to get better in my career as an ESL teacher and thought the book (and this is just Chapter 1) gave very good insights in order for me to grow as an empathetic and effective educator.  

Lastly, I really enjoyed growing with my classmates and Dr. Rivera in our relationships and our interactions with each other.  We are blessed with such a great group, with every person willing to share, cooperate, and encourage each other to stay positive and succeed.  I am looking forward to continue working with everyone.  ^_^  Have a good week, y'all!

  2. Ruthee,
    I agree with you that today's session was peaceful and so much fun. I really enjoyed the language greeting activity that we did in the beginning of the class. It was so much fun to see everyone shared "greetings" in different languages. I have no idea that I know some of those greetings in different languages. Thanks to everyone, now I can share those different language greetings with my students someday. "SHALOM" and have a great and safe weekend Ruthee!:)
