Course Resources: Foundations...

This week's assignment was to create a section for Course Resources from my Foundations of Early Childhood Education class. Included in this list are resources we have explored this week for our assignments, in addition to resources I have discovered on my own that I find pertinent, helpful, important, and/or interesting to the field. I will try to add to this list often throughout courses.

 This week's resources - I discovered to share:


  •  Book - No More "I'm Done!": Fostering Independent Writers in the Primary Grades by Jennifer Jacobson


  • HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK! We hosted a book club this year and met in my classroom once a month. This was the book we read and implemented. Even though I was in fourth grade, there were tons of great adaptable ideas to use across grade levels and it is a WONDERFUL resource!

  •  Blog - http://www.pre-kpages.com
  • Love this blog! It has tons of resources, ideas, and more! Use it to help with my little cousins but also have friends in pre-k that use this for ideas and such in there classrooms.

  • Article - "Organizing successful parent involvement in urban schools" from Child Study Journal
  • The article I chose for my application this week. LOVED IT! Everyone should try and check it out. I plan on sharing it with my district! Here is the link - hope it works: http://sfxhosted.exlibrisgroup.com/waldenu?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&url_ctx_fmt=infofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rfr_id=info:sid/sfxit.com:azlist&sfx.ignore_date_threshold=1&rft.object_id=960238505118&rft.object_portfolio_id=&svc.fulltext=yes&svc.selectedfulltext=yes

  •  Book - The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child
  • This is a book we are going to be reading for our book club this year and I am super excited! This is a book that could apply to ANY age or grade level! The idea is to foster a love for literacy in reading at any age! Can't wait to read and apply this to my classroom to encourage my students! :)
