I enjoyed working on the flags with my group and representing our cultures about teaching. The culture in the classroom should respect all students in the class.
Dr. Suess is my favorite children's author. My favorite book written by him is Green Eggs and Ham. It's about two things. One likes green eggs and ham and the other one insists that he doesn't. Finally at the end he realizes he loves green eggs and ham. Instead of saying he doesn't like them without trying them, he finally tried them and loved them. dir.yahoo.com/.../Children_s/Dr._Suess_Theodore_Geisel_1904_1991.
Charlie and the chocolate factory was written by Roald Dahl. The story is about a poor boy whose family doesn't have much money. There are gold tickets given out in some chocolate bars and the winners get to go to the candy factory. Charlie buys a couple of bars and doesn't win. He finally buys a winning chocolate bar and gets to go to the factory along with other children. He ends up winning the whole factory. www.en.wikipedia.org.

Ch.1 I believe it's important to me to instill on my students the importance of reading and not only that but to love reading. I want to help my students develop good reading attitudes. I also want them to use their imagination and discuss a book they've read w/the class. I want to have fun with reading and create a lasting memory that reading important.
Childrens Literature Authors... I never realized how old the story of the Ugly Duckling is, it dates back to the 1950's. The story was written by Hans Christopher. It's about an egg that gets lost and is found by a mother duck. When the duck is born everyone teases him and calls him ugly. The duck was actually a beautiful goose and everyone finds that out when he grows up.
Betsy Byars wrote the Summer of the Swans. In 1971 it won the Newberry Medal. The story is about a 14 year old girl that lives with her aunt and is in search of her mentally retarded brother. They lost their mom six years ago.
John Cotton wrote a short catechism called Milk for Babes, which was considered the first childrens book by an American. The book consisted of 64 questions and answers and was written for children and young Christians. It's about sin, the 10 commandments, the role of the church, nature of grace, the covenent, salvation...and other Biblical teachings.
