International Contacts and Expanding Resources

My assignment this week was to make international professional contact in Early Childhood.  I contact three resources and all three had technical problems going through.  I email from my personal and school account.  So I went to the alternative assignment.  The first two forums would not work and I chose Save The Children website and I could not find any email address on the website to contact people to for help.  I am still in the process of contacting an international person.

I research the Save The Children website and was very please with it.  The podcast that I like from the website was Hanging on so Tight:  An Oklahoma Tornado Survival this video talked about how the teacher worked with students to keep them safe during the tornado of 2013.  After the tornado was over the teachers contact organization to help with the funding of rebuilding the daycare.  This story reminder me of the out break of tornado in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1999 and how my children school provide the students that was affect by the tornado with toys to help them through the aftermath.

The second part of the assignment was to expand my Early Childhood Resources.  I chose The National Black Child Development Institute.  This organization works with children from the age of birth to 8 years of age.  I choose this website because I work in a school that is 96% African American.  I saw many resources that will help me with my knowledge of working with African American students.
