Visiting Idlewood Elementary

I am really glad we got a chance to visit Idlewood Elementary yesterday.  I feel like it gave me more confidence in my decision to become a teacher.  Just seeing the teachers who had already been through our program in action made me feel like I could do it, and I could do it well.  One of the things that I noticed in the class that I observed was the “No Place for Hate Promise.”  One part of the promise said, “I promise to do my best to be kind to everyone-even if they are not like me.”  This really showed me that we can take what we are learning about being culturally responsive and help our young students apply it to their own lives and in their classrooms.
