I just realized today that all the assignments are due in Guam Time. Unfortunately, I forgot that fact and have been thinking the time zone I'm in. So, I'm a bit disappointed in myself for being absent minded in that fact.
On the other note, I was glad to attend Union City's library here in California for my Professional Development. They had various activities to attend to read to children in various ages. It was pretty cool. They even had an activity for babies that couldn't walk. They read to the babies using objects and pictures, and the baby had to respond back by trying to jump on their mother's lap, therefore the activity was called lapsitting. Another activity I went to had volunteers come in the room and each choose a table, each table represented a different activity for each group. One activity was the volunteer/reader reads out the word, and the kids write down the word to see if they have the correct spelling. Another table had a reader read a story book full of pictures. Another table was tutoring a child in SAT reading. Various activities available in a room for an hour and a half. I am glad I attended this as it's not common in Guam to have this activity.
In this course, educators will learn how to support the needs of adolescent and young adults, helping them develop into confident, and independent readers and writers. Focus will be on the improvement of literacy skills through meaningful, constructive engagements in reading and writing.
What a nice experience! Hope to see you soon! :)
