POST 7: Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?



Hello everybody, welcome back to my blog, today I’m going to write about an expert on my field that I really admire and inspires me, her name is Maria Montessori.
She was born on 31 August, 1870 in Italy. In those times, Italy had conservative values about genre roles, but even that Montessori when she was growing up, discovered she has aptitude for mathematics, and then her love for the sciences, specifically, biology. So knowing that, time after she became the first female doctor in Italy.
Maria Montessori is famous for her “early childhood education research”, she based her methodology on Biological/ psychological, religion and pedagogical elements. The Montessori methodology has their own curriculum that is divided into five keys areas of learning: Practical life, sensorial, language, mathematics and culture, also creating learning materials (activities and toys) based on these five keys areas of learning, like the “Pink tower”, is one of her famous sensorial materials.
Another important thing about the methodology is the teacher’s role. Is interesting, because the educator is not the protagonist of the learning, the center of the attention here are children. So, educator just has to act like a guide to them and letting them be independent about their own learning, about what they want to do or what they want to learn.
I like Maria Montessori, because even in those conservative times, she became a doctor, and she wasn’t caring about what people said. And about the methodology that she created I like how independent can be children of their own learning.
That’s all for today!
See you!

POST 4: MY FUTURE JOB

Image
Hello everybody, welcome back to my blog, today I’m going to write about something that scares me a lot, and that it is, the FUTURE… more exactly, my future job.  When I was a little girl I never thought that I would be here, but here I’m, studying nursery education at the University, I still like what I’m studying now but sometimes I ask myself if I’ll be good at my work. I like kids but sometimes the way that other educators works its makes me get disappoint about the career. I would like to work with kids and their families in different places, outdoors like in a park and do a picnic, seeding in the garden or looking for insects… I don’t know, I have lot of ideas I would like to come true and I think it could work. I really want to travel someday and meet new places (well, I need to save money first) but not for working. I still remember when my dad had to travel for work (Argentina, Brazil, etc.) and he couldn’t go outside to meet new places because he should stay at

POST 10: ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Hello, everybody, welcome back to my blog, this will be the last post of this semester, so today I’m going to write about all my experience writing blogs. I usually write random things that I’m thinking in English, or I listening to music in English, I watch videos in YouTube just in English and I have some foreign friends and sometimes I talk with them to video call or just we text each other, and that’s how I try to improve my written English skills, because I love languages, and then I want to learn Korean language. People say that is a little bit difficult but is a challenge for me, and I like challenges. So that’s why is not a problem for me to write blogs in English, actually I like it, even if I know that my English is not the best. Is important for me to read comments of my posts, so I read all your comments you left because I can know that my English is not bad at all and you can understand what I want to say. I think my writing now is better, I hope so, because I

POST 3: MY PETS

Image
Hi everyone! How are you? Today I’m going to write about my pets. I have two dogs, Cony and Bony, they are so different, and they hates each other… why? Well, different ages, maybe. Cony is 12 years old and Bony is two years old. Cony is a small white poodle; she is not nice with everyone because she just loves my mother and father, and me… just sometimes. She eats weird things like Chantilly cream mix with dog food, I know is really irresponsible, but the veterinarian knows about Cony’s diet, and she said we can’t change her diet now because she is old, so Cony has to enjoy life sleeping and eating. And now, I’m going to talk about Bony. Everyone loves Bony because he is different; he is a playful big black dog, who is nice with every person near at him. He usually eats a lot dog food (not Chantilly cream) and has a lot of energy all day, so at night when I want to go to sleep he starts to bark, and he stops to bark when I’m there playing with him. So that’s at all a
