[@GabrielleHayes1921]

I did a Dale Carnegie course and that share the idea while your partner listens was a type of thing we did and then I also did it with fellow Senior students at FFA camp and I love it, I think it's a really great way to help people either learn to listen and hear what others have to say or to remind them to do so, because we all know we feel so appreciated when someone actually hears what we have to say, but it's important to remember to share that with others as well. I love that you're teaching that to them at such a young age.

[@annag701]

I've been thinking of becoming a kindergarten teacher, seeing your video gave me an idea of what is like & it sounds amazing. For me I'm kind of a shy person... so I'm hoping that won't cause me a bad thing as becoming a kindergarten teacher. Do you how can I overcome this? & how can I prepare for all my classes I'll have in college? Will I learn even more about being a teacher ? The ideas on what to teach a children? because I have no experience. I look forward to more videos of this. Thank you Ms. Sandoval. 🌸

[@tierragreenawalt1594]

My college has had me in 5 different classrooms already and that has helped me open up a little bit more, but I am also pretty quiet and shy. Your teachers will give you criticism while teaching, and I would recommend taking their advice and not worrying so much about what they think. I know that when I stress about what the teacher is thinking, that is when I make mistakes and appear too reserved. I have had classes on classroom management, teaching english language learners, literacy instruction, choosing children books, teaching math, teaching social studies, teaching science, diversity, and so on. They give you the philosophies and research behind teaching methods, but my field experience is where I actually learn to apply that information and create meaningful lesson plans and activities. I don't feel super prepared even with the classes, but it is really something that you will learn on the job. I would also recommend volunteering with children to add experience to your resume as finding a job can be difficult. I hope this can help in some way, and I hope things work out for you in your decision process. :) (Ps I'm in my junior year of college)

I see that there was a literacy theme, does that switch? For example, are there days where there are art stations, building stations, computers, etc? Or is it alway literacy and those other types of stations come into play another time? Or maybe not at all? Would love any insight you have as I figure out our schedule. Thank you!!!

All I remember of kindergarten is getting in trouble :/ I don't remember learning anything except for the mouse books that I loved. I got in trouble for how I wrote my "A" and "Y" in my name because I wasn't supposed to write in cursive yet (wasn't cursive, just not exactly how they wanted even though it was correct and still how I wrote them to this day lol) and then I remember getting in trouble because I couldn't draw a heart, I tried and tried but she didn't believe I really couldn't do it, I remember going home trying so hard and I'm sure I cried because thinking back makes me want to cry now and I just couldn't do it, I don't think I could until maybe 1st or 2nd grade with loving help from family who told me they believed in me and I could do it. I also remember the teacher didn't like me much because she hated my dad and only liked me enough because of my mom also being her past student, she got mad at my dad a lot too because of my imagination (I was an only child and claimed my dog and rabbit were my sister's because I was lonely), I also got in trouble because I picked flowers for my mom and forgot they were in my book bag and I wasn't allowed to have flowers for some reason (btw I picked them outside and they were those tiny white weed flowers, so nothing like prized roses) and a bunch of other stuff too. I hated school from what I remember which is weird because I did want to go back but luckily got homeschooled which was both a blessing and curse, but it did allow me to travel with my parents while doing homework and so by age 13 I had bee to half the states and met some wonderful people and got to experience a lot of fun things that even after being out of school for half a decade my husband still hasn't gotten to do :/ ... basically what I'm saying is I love that you're showing how much you care and everything because that can mean the world to a student, the only time I remember my teacher not being mad at me is when I brought my rabbit in for show and tell, oh well I'm just hoping my kids have a better time than I did :/ You seem pretty awesome and I really enjoy seeing that and it gives me hope for my kids and their future teachers ❤️💙
