Eileen Teaching with Your Heart
In the first few pages we are introduced to several important characters in the book. There are situations that "Mrs. G" calls teachable moments in which she gets to know more about her students as well as link the class material to actual life experiences that her students had. When reading these passages I felt like I was there. It reminded me of the times I spent in the resource room at my local school as a volunteer. There were moments when I would experience a flash of understanding between myself and the student I was working with. During these moments I would turn the material into terms that they would be able to relate to. The best feeling in the world comes when you see their face when the get what you are trying to teach them. When the “light bulb" goes off in there head you can actual see their face glow. Reading this book thus far has reinforced the reason that I wanted to work with special needs children. Being able to help children relate to education and actually see a value in it gives you a tremendous feeling. I see what "Mrs. G" sees in her students and I want very much for them to succeed and show everyone that they are worth the effort and time.
