QUOTE

The quote i chose to use what one by Robert Shaffer: 

We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit. 

CHILDREN'S BOOK I REALLY ENJOY

is the book I chose to talk about, the creative kid paints on the walls, floors, everywhere and then paints himself. It is a great book to talk about colors and body parts. And it is great to see the look on the children's faces know what he is doing is wrong. Very cute! I recommend for young children. 

A STORY ABOUT A CHILD THAT TOUCHED MY HEART 

As many of you know I work at an Early Head Start Program in Terre Haute Indiana. We work with children ages 18 months to 3 years old. Sometimes these children are fine, just qualify do to low income. Other times they get into our program do to a disability. 

Well the child that touches me is an autistic child. She was 3 when she came to our program. Z. had never been in any other program and was very scared and timid and did not want to be touched or play with the other children. We continued to encourage her to play and encouraged her to use sign language. It took months for us to break down the wall she had between us and her; but finally those walls were broke down, she is now laughing and smiling and playing with the other children. She is participating in circle time and using sign language and even giving hugs and playing with the other children.
