Holiday project update

 1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

During winter break, I couldn't do much with my mentorship because I work in a classroom; so they went on break at the same time we went on break. I did do some extra research to make up for not being able to be in the classroom. With the holidays around, I decided to research about how the holidays were presented to all the kids without it being against anything someone believes in. 

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

The most important thing I learned was that it is important to know what each child and their families celebrate and what they don't celebrate. It's important to talk to the parents at the beginning of the year to know what's going on and also make sure that whatever is done in the classroom, it has to be meaningful to the children and everyone should always feel comfortable. 
I got this from articles mostly from pbs.org and diversity in the classrooms.

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I would like to interview my mentor, Ms. Dahline but I have already interviewed her twice so I don't think I would be able to interview her anymore so I would probably interview one of the two other kindergarten teachers that my mentor likes to combine the classes with. They have their own classroom and many other kindergarteners to interact with so they can really help me answer my EQ.
