  1. Hello Mandy,
    Thank you for sharing these resources. I have never read either of these books but I would like to. As a classroom teacher I agree with the speakers in the video we viewed this week that it is important to have resources. We are fortunate in that we have our classmates as resources as well.

  2. Mandy, What is your opinion on the personal resources you have listed? I think it is interesting that you chose a resource from 1924. I think it is important to still use valid theories from the past to understand how to move forward and help evolve the field to better serve children and their developmental needs. As professionals, we continue to find new strings of theories that will help our programs. However, some things we come across, I think to myself, "that doesn't make any sense." I try and implement new ideas and support my colleagues in other programs and even learn from them. I am interested in the "Love and Logic." I'm going to poke around there this weekend. I also adore the quote you began with.

  3. Mandy, I checked out your resources and found "voices" to be an interesting way to learn about how Congress keeps us up to date on their efforts for the Early Childhood Field. In a way, we can see how money is being spent for children. Thanks for sharing your resources.

  4. Mandy, I found Love and Logic for Teachers website very interesting because it provided me with many resources in Spanish. I found books, magazines, videos and others. There is also a link that connects parents with much updated information about children resources and encourages them to get involved with school activities.
