I really enjoyed looking through your resources. My favorite article was: Quality pre-k is more than just academic content. I loved it and plan to share it with the staff at my center.
ReplyDeleteYour posts were very interesting to read through. I liked the article about single mothers Figures show struggle worsening for single mothers. I often feel that people tend forget about how many women that are out here struggling to make ends meet while raising families by themselves.
ReplyDeleteGreat resources! The Journal of the Child and Family Studies was great. I read about a study that was done to show how parental involvement as a affect on our children grades and success. I think some parents don't fully understand the major impact they play in their children education. I am so grateful that we were assigned to do the Blog assignments because you knew know what other people have to offer that will be helpful.
