Blog Post #1

My main interest is in early childhood education. It was somewhat difficult finding a blog that was interesting. I wanted to find one that would teach me some new things about the field. Luckily, I was able to find a really great blog created by a woman named Abby who is a librarian from Chicago.

In Abby’s blog, she wrote about her first experience presenting to a group of preschool teachers about early literacy. Abby wrote that through her presentation, she gave the teachers new strategies and activities that they can do with their students. She also shared how she felt during her presentation and what she would have done to improve it.

I found Abby’s blog to be helpful for those going in the education field, not necessarily just for preschool teachers, but whoever is interested in promoting early literacy to children. She even included the website (ECRR) that she got her information from which I can use in the classroom. Abby also reviewed some books and gave her insights on them. She even gives suggestions of how to use them in the classroom. It’s a very interesting website. If you are in education and need some assistance with early literacy, Abby has some great information on her website.

Hello everyone! Here is a site on copyright.

About Me

Hello...My name is Anna. I'm a college student and am majoring in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood.

On my free time I like to get as much sleep as I can. With school, work, and all my other extracurricular activities, I don't really have a lot of free time. However, I do have lots of hobbies to help myself relax. I enjoy playing the guitar and the ukulele, although I must admit that I'm not that great at it. I also enjoy playing rock band with my family...we always have a blast with our little "band practice."

Well, that's it for now =)
