    Yes I love the two quotes you pick, they both are very inspirational and inspiring. A child definitely learn from what they see, they will do everything they see you do. They also will repeat everything they hear. It is important for us to teach them everything they need to know to get ahead in life. Play is important in their life, children learn through way and its good for them to explore and learn new things while they are playing.
    Great quotes.....

    I really like the two quotes you chose to use because it shows that children are able to learn in several different ways. Through speech children learn so many different things, a lot of these things they learn from listening to others speak. Through play children learn different life lessons and example the things they have seen. I am a believer that play is so important to a chills development because things that wouldn't be normally expressed come out in play, it allows the child to be free.

    Naire,
    You did an awesome job this week with your quote choices. These two make vastly different points, yet are cohesive due to their common goal of expressing the importance of early childhood development. Play is an important component in childhood development because it is how children learn and grow holistically. Language development is equally important. It has been a pleasure working with you these past eight weeks. I have enjoyed reading your viewpoints on the various topics whether we agreed, or agreed to disagree. Well wishes and best of luck in your academic journey going forward.

Sharing Web Resources I chose Association for Children Education International organization. ACEI is international organization and its belief that education is important for development. The focus of ACEI to educate all children , but their main focus is on meeting the education needs to the children that in need the most. Their work started in 1892 to promote kindergarten education in the United States and internationally. In 1930 their work expanded to promote education to primary school years.

Children in United States and around the world are marching to protest against gun violence in schools. The violence in today’s world has become ordinary and common. This violence causes number of deaths, injuries, pain and fear throughout the world. I have leaned from this article that children march for tow reasons, they march to express their emotion and also to show to th...

Testing For Intelligence  I do not think that Standardized Testing correctly measures a student’s intelligence or academic level. Every one is different, and some test well, while others may not test as well. While they may differentiate as to a grade and tell whether or not you move on to the next grade, everyone learns at their own pace and processes things differently. I believe that it puts too much pressure and stress on students to do good on those tests like the SAT, ACT tests, etc. I don’t feel like you can gain anything from taking those tests because most of the questions that are on the test are the ones that you’ve never seen before or you’ve never even learned about in school. It shouldn’t have to play a role on smart the student is or determined their abilities. If I was the leader of the state’s Department of Education, I would advocate fewer standardized tests so that it doesn’t put a lot of pressure on the students to do well on them. In china China, all s...
