It has officially been a week since we have been home. Although it is nice to be home, it is also bittersweet because I miss the beach, the kids as well as my cohorts. Since, I have been back I have not stopped talking about my experience so far. Everyone has been asking me “so how was it?” My answer is “it was amazing, everything was amazing!” One person asked me “what was your favorite part?” Without hesitation I said “the students.” I really miss the students and I have not stopped bragging about how amazing they were. When people ask what I did with them I am so eager to show them the work we did with them and how well they did it! People are amazed by the pictures I have shown them. I have also not stopped talking about Montessori schools. I am so ecstatic to tell everyone about Montessori schooling since most people do not know that there are other choices for education. After this experience, I have decided I want to extend my certification. I want to have a early childhood as well as childhood education certification. I have decided to do this extension in graduate school though since I am student teaching in the fall. I really enjoyed being with the pre-k students in the Dominican Republic so I want to take the passion I had for it there and bring it here. What I really enjoyed about pre-k was how creative and fundamental it was. You really have to have creative ideas to keep the students interested, but you are also teaching them life-long skills. For instance, when did you learn how to write letters or numbers? (in pre-k or kindergarten!) Pre-k and Kindergarten are the first stepping stone of learning basic skills you will use for the rest of your life. Before this experience, I had no intentions on getting a certification but after this experience it open my eyes and made me want to expanded my options as a teacher.
