I'm not sure as to exactly what I have done to support my colleagues but I hope if one something small I wrote helped them in this cousre.
I can truly say that those of my colleagues,who took time to respond to my post helped me tremendously. If they did not take the time and log on I would not have had anyone to interact with. The words o encouragement and questions helps me to also look deeper into my research information.
I pray that each of my colleagues weather they blogged with me or not have great success and continue to do what they need to do to get their degree in hand. I would say that closer to the end things seems so much harder and longer but believe me when I tell you it is all so worth it.

Spending Time with Children and Parents
This was probability the best time that I had engaging with the students and their parents. I volunteered to work Mrs. Nelson again with her book fair. This gave me the opportunity to be able to see students with their parent at the same time as this was also their parent, teacher conference. One of the parents volunteered so I was able to spend a good amount of quality time with her and her daughter. When helping set up for the book fair I noticed a lot really has changed concerning the reading material. They had lots of books on Justin Beaver, Willow Smith etc. so I was wondering how parents felt about those kind of books.
The volunteer mom didn't purchase such books, but books about history like Coretta Scoot King and she talked about how much her children like to read and sing etc. She said that she was and her husband were both very involved in their children's activities, education and that her daughter gets personal torturing to help her improve in the areas where she is having difficulty. The volunteer mom stated that "it is imperative that parents be involved because it truly sets the stage for learning and expectations."
Having spent this time with the volunteer mom and her daughter was helpful to me because we sometimes pass judgement when we see a child away from their parent. I have always believe and this confirm my belief that learning begins in the home and is extended in the school. Children will succeed and be more successful when their parents activity participate, foster, be a positive role model and interact with their children in the home.
