Contact Around The World

I thought I was getting closer to may contact, but I did get a follow up email, and I was told someone will be in contact with me, but as of today I have gotten nothing. I choose to do some research of my own from the Census.gov, and I cam across poverty in house holds with single parents. There are more single mothers in hose holds with one or more children working average jobs trying to make ends meat. Poverty is very unfortunate, but looking at these numbers it kind of explains it some. Now and days in our economy, it is hard for families to make sure they have the income to keep up with the rising cost of living. There are many resource that will continue to help, but they might not be all will cover, but something is better than nothing. I fell we should all continue to do our part o make sure we can say we are doing what we can to make a difference.

Web Resource

The National Association for the Education of Young Children http://www.naeyc.org/ NAEYC is the organization I choose to subscribe too. I am a little familiar with NAEYC, but as I continue to do my research I always tend to find something different that I am able to use throughout my courses in school, and with my career. This week I received an email from the NAEYC website that has

"23 Ways You Know You're a Preschool( Infant/Toddler) Teacher".

It was very funny because as an educator you see yourself doing a lot of these things. I will post the link below, and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.

Being in the early childhood field I really enjoy this site, because it gives you so much information that can be implemented into your whole entire day of teaching. It gives great resources and even project ideas. They even have different links for parents to understand their child and the different behaviors they are experiencing.

Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Recourses

This weeks assignment did not workout as intended. I reached out to several organizations, and I have not received anything as of today. I have reached out to the embassy for some help, but I have to wait for them to respond. My resource I choose is NAEYC. I choose this recourse because I have done research on it in my previous courses, and I have gotten my child care center accredited through them as we'll. Even though I have some knowledge of NAEYC I learn something new every time that I can apply in my course work, and my career.
