I have realized that my topics have not yet been researched, if they have
the information is not found in the Walden Library. In an effort to complete
the assignment I found myself remolding my original ideas to ones that could be
supported by research. Over all this has been an overwhelming and a bit
stressful to say the least.
I have chosen the topic “Supporting
a child’s culture in an early childhood classroom.” I chose this topic because
of what it means for me personally and professionally. I grew up never feeling
like I belonged in a classroom for feeling valued or important. It saddens me
to see children feel this way in today’s world. That is why a personal goal of
mine to never have a child feel that way in a classroom of mine.
I wish I had
done the “research chart” on one of the articles from my research instead of
one from out reading. I know I would have learned more and while utilizing the
chart in a way that was helpful to me.
I have come to
the realization that I am making this research assignment harder on myself by
being anxious about it. I need to relax and have a little bit of confidence in
myself. One step at a time, or rather, one assignment at a time.

Sharene,
I too have made myself a wreck trying to figure all this out. I agree we need to take a deep breath and together we will get through this :) Maybe we can help each other. We must think POSITIVE!!!!!

Sharene,
You are not alone in your anxieties; this has been the hardest two weeks thus far. I am hoping that it will get easier as our confidence and abilities grow. You picked an interesting topic I am trying to make my classroom open to all cultures as I have also felt left out and that I really did not belong. Good luck with your research.

Sharene,
I share your stress......this class by far has been challenging to say the least, as I feel the application 1 assignments are not benefitting the time we need to actually research and find articles on the application 2 assignments. Keep your head up! I count the weeks away as I progress with each assignment and the pressure that comes along with it. We will get through this together and build research information while we do it :)
