Journal 1 - Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Kim Waterman. I am new to the whole blogging world so be patient with me. I lead a very busy and crazy life but I love every minute of it! A year ago this September I married my best friend, Jake. He is also currently in school at OCU for his Master's Degree. We just bought our first house and a few weeks ago rescued a puppy that we named Cooper.

I am taking Early Care Education courses because this field is my passion. I love watching children grow and develop. There is something magical about watching a child thrive in an environment that will help shape them into the people they will become. I love being a little stop on their journey in life. Children are our future (I know that sounds cliche but it's true). The field of early care education is constantly changing and I want to continue to learn and develop my education so I can be the best caregiver and teacher possible.

I hope to gain more knowledge through this course. I like to think I am a great communicator but I would like to know more and become a better communicator. Communication in the field of early care education is crucial. Everyone (teachers, employers, families, & children) must all be on the same page and work together to reach the final goal; whatever that may be. I hope to learn new information that will help me be the best teacher I can.

I hope everyone has a great semester and I look forward to learning lots of valuable information!

  1. Welcome to Communications class.
    I hope you enjoy your assignments as you learn to use technology to keep in touch with your families and staff.
    The assignments in this class are designed to use the computer. You will be required to use your creativity and to follow your passion.

    You sound like the kind of person who will blossom in my class. I look forward to more from you.

    This class is also designed to have most of the major work done by mid term so stay current with the assignments and by October the hard part will be behind you.

    Have fun this semester.
    Peggy
