Children's minds are still developing when teachers reach them. With the imagination of children a teacher can learn from them everyday. A child's laughter is one of my favorite sounds. Kids minds are unbelievable the things they can come up with. I believe in a partial inclusion classroom, and having a child’s voice be heard. A child needs an open learning environment and a happy place to learn in.

 Be optimistic  Change is a good thing  Always have a plan B  Laugh often  Enjoy everyday  Have fun

My thinking has came from the people I have had experiences with everyday. I am constantly learning and seeking to know more. When I become a teacher I will believe in a partial inclusion classroom, with lots of colors and fun posters. Everyone has a special way of learning and I hope to help kids find there’s. I believe the mind of a child is constantly changing and will amaze me everyday. Everyone deserves an education and should be entitled to a great teacher to give them one.
