Reflection Favorite Picture Book

February 02, 2025

My favorite picture book as a child was Don't Let the Pigeon Drive This Bus! By: Mo Willems. I think this was my favorite book when I was a child because just the idea of it I feel it was just funny to let a pigeon drive a bus and it just made me actually imagine the thing actually taking place. This isn't the only book in the series there are also other books that were made that revolve around the pigeon and it always got me intrigued about what the pigeon could be doing the next time around.

Traditional Literature

February 09, 2025

Title: The Ugly Ducklings and Other Fairy Tales Genre: Traditional Literature Author: Hans Christian Andersen Age Group: 4-6 Teacher Evaluation: For me as a teacher this would help benefit younger kids because fairy tales are always a good way to get the young minds of the children going. Also having other fairy tales and not just one is a good way to keep young children engaged in what your reading to them and also these are fairy tales that have been around for decades so teaching them and reading them to the children now will bring the tradition of these tales staying around for longer. I remember this book when was younger and I enjoyed whenever the teacher would pull it out for us to listen to her read because we liked those stories and hearing stories that have always been around we could hear them for a couple years and know exactly what happens. Honorable Mentions: The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz and Stone Soup

Paden Tortorice: Hi! My name is Paden Tortorice and I am a Elementary Education SPED Major at Houston Christian University. Towards the end of high school I had to make a decision about what I wanted to do with my life, and I realized that in my life I have always taught the game of baseball to not only kids younger than me but also those who I teamed with. Once I made up my mind I realized that teaching was where God intended on me to go. My goal not only is to be in the elementary scene but to eventually move up into the high school scene and make an impact all over. Reading has never been my strong suit, but over the years I have learned that reading is the way to learn about life around us and figure out how the world has become the way it is. It is important to teach young kids about reading so that they understand its importance to our society and why we read, its not just important for learning but it is also important for learning lessons in life.
