I like this website because it gives very interesting ideas for teacher to include to students. The ideas that this website provides is very helpful because it includes artistic activities and not the same boring activities. The activities are very creative and different in building. These ideas help children to use cognitive skills, fine motor and also includes math. I use this website when I do my lesson plans for my Early Head Start children. Moms like the creative ideas because we can create activities with items in their house.

My name is Monica Barrera I was born in Chicago Illinois coming from a family of ten. Both my parents were born in Mexico. I graduated from Benito Juarez High School in the year 2000. I continued my education when I assisted to Malcolm X College and then transferred to Harold Washington College where I graduated with my Associates in Arts. I came to NLU and this is my third quarter here. I currently work with Early Head Start children and their families as a Home Visitor. My major is Elementary Education which I have been wanting to do for a long time. I want to help others in any possible way along with their families to establish a better community. I want to work for CPS because here is where I wanted and want to work with the same students in the community. I am very interested in this class because I want to learn more about networks and other systems that I can implement in my own classroom one day.
