The four core values I chose are as listed
Appreciate and support the bond between the child and family. A bond between a child and family is very strong. A parent is it's child 's first teacher. Entering school can be stressful and nerve wrecking for both child and parent. I will let the parents know that they can be involved with their children by volunteering their time to the classroom. I will encourage parents and family to come see how their child is learning through plays or show casing their work at the end of each lesson. For example, we just finished our lesson on plants and how they grow. We drew pictures of seeds, stems, flowers, dirt, etc. We even planted some seeds. Now it's time for performance. The children worked so hard in making their costumes out of construction paper and learning to memorize their lines. Now it is time to invite the parents to watch their children act out what they learned about plants.
Respect the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of each individual (child, family member, and colleagues). It is important to respect the children, families, and colleagues. Every child is different, I will learn about the children's uniqueness and teach the children that everyone learns differently. In my classroom we will discuss and learn about the student's culture and habits. I can one day have parents bring in a dish from their culture and as we sitting down in the classroom talking about how and where this dish comes from, we can then taste it.
Recognize that children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust and respect. At the start of the day I will greet each child as an individual. I want the children to know that I trust and respect them and in return they can trust and respect me.
Base our work on knowledge of how children develop and learn. I will have a classroom where the child can develop their physical, cognitive,and affective domains. I will have centers for art, reading, writing, and imaginary. With rules written on the rules for the children to follow.
