I wish you all much success in your endeavors

Wowowee!! As this spring semester comes to a close, I would like to thank everyone for contributing to our little learning community. As educators and students, there is always much to be learned and taught from one another as we journey through our careers. The talent, knowledge, memories, and compassion that was shared are just some of the things I will take away from this course. I learned a lot of practical skills that I have already started to apply in my teachings. I wish each and everyone of you success in all your endeavors! I hope to see you around in the halls of SOE come fall semester!

Mogethin!

I just want to thank each and everyone in our class ED481G and Dr. Rivera for a wonderful and meaningful experience this semester. I had a wonderful time with each and everyone in this class.

I took this course not knowing weather this is something I want to continue on but now after sharing a insightful and a wonderful semester I am thinking to continue this journey I have started this semester. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity as well as your personal experiences in the teaching field with me. Thank you all and have a great and safe summer!!

Its Been A Good Time Together

(Be sure to listen to this clip!!!)

 

After the late night classes, blogging and moodling, and constant emails, we have reached the end of the semester and I have to say...."ITS BEEN A GOOD TIME TOGETHER!!!"

Thank you all for your insightful experiences, sharing your unique talents, and great collaboration! I have learned a tremendous amount of information and I am sure I will be applying it in the very near future. Through our ongoing learning together, I know that we will all become knowledgeable professionals. I enjoyed our time learning from each other and sharing with each other. I hope to see you all again! I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors. And remember, my fellow ED481ers, Its been a good time together and the best is yet to come!

Thank you and have a great summer!

Hafa adai,

I would like to thank everyone for being gracious and supportive.  I have learned a great deal from all of you through our blog, forums, class discussions, and presentations. I feel like I am better equipped to help the mainstreamed ESL students that enter my classroom.  The course has reawakened my sense of creativity.  I am looking forward to developing new thematic units in my reading class that are supported by a variety of genres and interactive activities.  Making material relevant to students and allowing them to have more input on topics and reading selections are ideas that resonate with me.  The experiences that all of you have shared has made me more cognizant of what English language learners are going through in school, both academically and emotionally.  Again, I would like to thank all of you for being wonderful classmates and sharing the ED 481 experience with me.  I would also like to thank Dr. Rivera for her insight and guidance this semester.  The course has definitely made me reflect on my teaching practices.

Have a wonderful summer everyone!

Sincerely,
Daryl

Farewell my fellow classmates

Dear class,

I would like to thank each and every one of you for creating a classroom environment that is fun, warm and very insightful. I enjoyed our discussions both face-to-face and online. Since the majority of you are experienced educators, I felt greatly humbled and appreciative to learn and hear your perspectives on the topics and issues discussed in class. Although, this is my farewell post, I know this is not the last time we will all see each other. Again, thank you for the wonderful classroom and learning experiences. I wish you all the best in your continuing studies, and I hope one day we will work together as fellow educators.

Sincerely,
Jackie Fathal

It's been a great semester working with all of you in the class. I have truly learned a great deal regarding English language learners and what approaches/methods to use when working with them.The Moodle and BlogSpot posts have allowed us as a class to be open in our discussions on several different topics. I really enjoyed reading everyones response to the questions as well as the feedback given by peers to my answer. The in class activities were fun and provided us with the opportunity to get to know everyone. Overall, this class was a great asset to me as an educator. It opened my eyes to the many issues and concerns that ELL's may face when they enter the school system. The class had a positive effect on my perception and approach with ELL studnets. I will continue to use what I have learned in this class at my school site and with he ELL students.
