Wind-Wolf

I thought this story was a great explanation about the differences in cultures and how a child could seem to be slow but is actually not in a different environment. I feel like this related to our classroom discussion because Wind- Wolf was raised in an Indian household where he was raised differently and taught different things. When he was brought into a "white" school he did not know all the things typical "white" children knew. This made him seem dumb or slow to the teacher. This is how children who come from different cultures, such as Hispanic, Native American, or African American must feel when they enter a classroom that is being taught as if they were all raised in white homes.

Brand New

Hey. I'm Jana and I'm in Odile Mattiauda's FNED class on Wednesday at 4:00 to 7:50. So far I have only been to one class and it was a fun class. Two teachers came in and talked to us about teaching children to read. It was strange for me to go back to when I was a little kid and trying to learn how to correctly make sounds to be able to speak. It was interesting for me to learn more about the human brain and the way people learn and think. So far I am really enjoying this class and I am looking forward to start my hours at a school. This is exciting! =]
