I have really enjoyed this course. I really enjoyed being able to pick different children's picture books and novels to read each week to help figure out what we think is a good book for children in the classroom or even at home. I really liked doing the paired reading. I thought it helped show different perspectives in a serious situation as well as showing a way we could teach reading in the classroom. I liked how we had to pick the controversial books as well as poetry picture books because it gave us another way to look at picture books with children and different things we can study with them. I really enjoyed reading the different chapter books that were required for the course as well as getting to pick a different chapter book per week. Getting to read and respond to children's literature has been very insightful and helped me think of how I am going to put reading into my classroom and different topics and things I will focus on. I really enjoyed the one night in class when the current teachers came to discuss how they've put reading in their classrooms and it really helped me think of how I want to read in my class.
This class has helped me remember books I read as a kid and think of why I enjoyed them. I got to go back and re-read books that I had read before and think of ways I could incorporate my experiences in teaching them in my future class. This class has helped me think deeper into reading children's books and showing my future students ways to look deeper into story books.
I am excited to complete the text set because it will give me an even deeper view into selecting children's books, different topics, and what makes a 'good' book.
I have enjoyed this class and gotten a lot out of it~ Thank you.*
