RE: Peer Review

Hi Amy!

Thanks for reviewing my article. Your suggestions were very helpful. I definitely agree about the paragraphs (or lack thereof!). For the last few years I've been working at a newspaper writing short sentences for paragraphs, which translated in this article. I'm going to heed your advice and try to combine them a little more.

And I appreciate all of the compliments - I'm glad you enjoyed the article!

I can tell by your "about the author's info and your "teacher's philosophy" that you are going to be a great teacher. I can feel the excitement you have towards your new career of teaching.

It is also evident that the love and the passion you share will be needed and greatly appreciated by your students and their parents as well. You are going to be a great asset to the profession of education. Good luck!Sjone085 (talk) 15:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree with your philosophy of actually getting to know your students. I think that many students today are lacking a role model in their lives. They are lacking a person in their lives who wants them to succeed and pushes them to do their best. After reading your philosophy, it sounds like you would be the kind of teacher that would change the way students feel about learning for the better. Aquenvil (talk) 20:05, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Amy,

I can already tell based on reading your "about me" section and also your teaching philosophy that you are going to be one amazing teacher. It takes a really extraordinary person to be able to consule dying members of our society and their famalies, to be able to put all of that emotion aside to make even one day a little brigther for a person is an ability that I really wish that I had at times. I think that these past experiences that you have described to us will enable you to get to know your students on a level that they should be able to understand. I wish you all the luck in the world with you endeavers and if you need any assistence am always here in the virtual world to assist you.Sthur002 (talk) 23:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

On your philosophy I can see that you have great amount of qualities to be a successful teacher you set a safe, loving, and fun environment with achievable expectations. I really think that you are a good role model for your students. You are one of those in a life time teachers that you never forget when you become an adult. You are a bless lady and I wish I can meet you in person sometime. Amort007 (talk) 02:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello Amy,

Wow! Your teaching philosophy is truly inspiring! I really admire all the positivity, enthusiasm, and energy you plan on bringing to your class and I hope I have a small part of that driving energy to bring to my future students. I totally agree with the idea of managing your classroom through positive reinforcement - I feel like this really teaches children what kind of behavior you are expecting, rather than coming down on a child when they make a mistake. I also agree with holding the children accountable for being productive and contributing members of your classroom - teaching kids to take pride in their contributions will give them that sense of usefulness and will make them feel ownership in their class and their role in the class. I really enjoyed reading your philosophy and I definitely think that your philosophy would provide an amazing learning environment for your students! Ekett001 (talk) 01:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I understand and agree with you when you stated the students in your class will be eager to learn because they will see how important learning is to you. When I was in school the teachers that I felt was getting something from us as well as what we were getting from them, made me wanted to participate even more and try harder so they could know that they made a difference. I thank God for those teachers if it had not been for them I may not be in the profession I am trying to enter in now and I might not be the person I have become. Some of my teachers really impacted my life in ways that I don't believe most of them knew. However, it wasn't really for them to know...I received the knowledge, power, strength, and determination from it and they will receive the blessing. You are truly a gentle soul, the world really needs more people like you. Pperk002 (talk) 05:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
