I asked them what would they do if they see a big puddle and they said jump over it or walk around it. So we played a game called “Puddle Jump. ” We measured the distance of their jumps from start to finish by their shoes.

Professionalism and Learning

  • How do you continue to challenge yourself and grow as an educator?

I set goals for myself and once I complete my goals I make more.

  • How does Mother Goose Time curriculum help you learn and try new things?

Mother Goose Time  has helped me by taking learning out of the house and setting up more learning trips for my children that apply to the curriculum and it gives hands on experience.

  • What trainings, accreditation, or programs have you participated in that have been helpful?

I do my trainings online on websites that are approved by Mo Department of Health & Senior Services.  CPR and First Aid trainings I go to the class. If there is a class I’m interested in  I will go to it.
