It truly illustrates what the concept means and provides something for teachers and parents to compare to. Meeting with parents and trying to get a feel for what the children are like at home is a wonderful way to bridge the two worlds together in order to create a successful schooling experience for the child.nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09892681972251193018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525939050974247287.post-53137576658877313082011-09-14T22:31:15.243-04:002011-09-14T22:31:15.243-04:00I really liked the way you relate a specific examp...I really liked the way you relate a specific example, Jamie and the "third space." It's easy to understand what you are saying. <br />I agree that for understanding the child's background, communicating with parents is important and helpful for teachers and children. I think home visiting is great idea for getting to know about the child well.Jihyunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13696127307947402068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525939050974247287.post-31594414059690898062011-09-14T19:42:04.747-04:002011-09-14T19:42:04.747-04:00I agree that "The distance between literacy l...I agree that "The distance between literacy languages used at home and school, so often, is too large"(Cayla). Teachers need to work hard to fill this distance and create "the third space". When teachers fail to do this it effects children in a negative way.Cassy/ECE Studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05677479906238751880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525939050974247287.post-19038513638359329772011-09-14T11:46:49.043-04:002011-09-14T11:46:49.043-04:00It is so important for parents and teachers to be ...It is so important for parents and teachers to be aware of the need for communication. Teachers benefit by getting to know each student's needs for learning. Parents can benefit by understanding that their sharing of information helps the teacher create appropriate lessons for the students. I think this can also help parents feel more involved in the classroom and give them an appreciation for what their child is learning.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516155544073583335noreply@blogger.com
