A note to Thank You



It is amazing how quick these eight weeks have gone by, I want to say Thank You for all your replies of support, feedback, encouragement throughout our discussions and blogs. Most of all, thank you for letting us learn from each others experiences in the field. I have no doubt that each one of us will provide to their highest potential within the field of Early Childhood field. As we come to an end, I wish everyone a wonderful and relaxing winter break and hope the best to each one of you. I hope to see some of you in my future classes...until then

Adjourning Phase

Thinking back, one of the times where I had the hardest to say goodbye was working as the teacher with two other girls (t.a's) which we made the best team in the center when working with the kids and together. Each one of us had our own strengths and weaknesses but we were there to support one another, read our body language and know what each other needed. The funny thing was that we were the only team out of four others that did not have any issues with each other and was not sitting in the directors office every other day. We worked together for a whole year until the director decided to split us up. We were all in shock and did not know how to react or say. I told the director why had she decided to break up the best team and all she said was to strengthened the others so I got two totally new T.A.'s the next year. I wish sometimes that things could have been handle differently.

When I started this journey of getting my Master's, and especially on line, I did not know what to expect. Now as I reflect, I have learned so much from every one I had some sort of communication and dialogue. I think it will be different for me leaving a group whom I have learned and seen other perspectives from. It has been an amazing ride.

For me adjourning is essential because is where as a team can look back and celebrate what has been accomplished and move on to a new phase. No matter what paths each one takes team members will be connected one way or another.
