Week 8

This is so hard for me to say "goodbye"so I am not going to say the words "goodbye" I am going to say  I will see you later. From the past eight weeks I love how we connected together as a team in the early childhood education field.  I felt like we learn from each other and we show a lot of respect among each other as colleagues. I am from Durham, North Carolina and if you ever come to visit just let me know and I would like to meet my fellow colleagues. If you would like to stay in contact with me I can be reach at the e-mail of shartarkac@hotmail.com

Best Regards,

Shartarka

The group experience that I went through was when we a staff meeting of employees not having
enough vacation days for a year with the boss and the director. Some of the employees get only nine days per year and we was asking our director is any way of would take any consideration of giving us more days and the answer was flat"no" and to see my co-worker expression and pain in their face it kinda got to my heart. The point they was trying to make is if you have death in the family you don't get pay, if you get sick you have to use your vacation days and the Christmas holiday we close for a week and you have to use some of our vacation days which is your nine days to get pay for the holidays. That was the hardest group for me to leave cause it had me thinking. I wish the closing of the group could have been more they would consider to add two or more days, or they could had say they would think about it. I think it would be a positive experience when I would adjourn with my colleagues as we are working on our master's degree. This will help us to keep in contact and network with each other in the early childhood education. We are learning global form each other around the world. Adjourning is an essential stage of teamwork because there is no "I" in team we all suppose to help and learn from each other. It helps us to become better teachers and educators in the early childhood education.

Blog Assignment Week 5

The disagreements that I recently experience is when me and a colleague at work. The disagreement was over when a floater suppose to  be in a class room and not mines. The prior week the director made a schedule of the room for the floater to give teacher's release time in their classroom to do their lesson plans. Well another teacher that work at the center sent the teacher in my room and it was not her turn to be in my work. So when the floater came in my room I had show her the schedule and she was like "thank you" Ms. Shartarka for letting me know and replied "you welcome". So the teacher that sent the floater in my room came in my room and fuss at me for no reason. She did it in front of the parents and the other teachers. I kindly said to her this is the time or the place to talk about and I told her I will not have you to talk to me any kind of way. I said to her the floater suppose to be in your classroom not mines her is the schedule. The teacher said I do not want that floater in my classroom "I do not like her". She walk out and slam the door. I was so pissed that I had to just walk around the classroom and pray. So my director came in later on that morning she came to me like I had started the argument. I was really shock at my director because she has known me for fourteen years and I just don't start a argument just for anything. I try to be professional with my parents and children in the classroom. I told my director you need to get the whole story before you come to me with this situation. I was so mad my eyes water up. So when she got the whole story she pull me in the office and apologize. She ask me was I ok and I told her no I was not. In my mind I was still hurt. My director pull her in the office and had a talk with her and told her she was wrong. So the next day I did not say anything to her or speak so she told one of my friends that she felt bad of what she did and she wanted to talk to me. So she came to me and was like I just like to apologize for what I did and I do not know what came over me. I told her I will accept her apology. I think how I resolve this issues is not continue to argue with the other teacher and walk away from it.
