My place base education it would be in my home country… why because while learning we learn how to appreciate nature what it’s the most beautiful thing we can see, learn and experience. Back then when I was only 9 years old I saw how the school was base as a place based education while it had agriculture offered for students. How it was important and still important to fight together for our believes, how as a community we come together to fight for any cause like a couple weeks ago my cousins where in school and the school got together with parents and the community as a whole to help with breast cancer awareness as a whole as a tight community.

As you can see this one thing I remember from my home country…Nature!!! Where I learn on first hand experience…

 Its not only having first hand experience but we can get a sense of how things are, how we learn and lastly how we can get to care for something beautiful we want to protect. As we have talked in previous discussion in class this week like in the video we saw we come together as human beings to protect nature because with a green environment the better we are as generation and the generation that are to come by the years. While having green we can appreciate what nature give us and learn from it. I think place based education should be intergraded into more school so we as educators don’t forget the beauty, so we can get first hand experience that we never would forget and education would be interesting as well as seeing our daily life because having place based education would helps come together as human being and would help us to want to have more green in our planet.

we could be a better generation, we could be more green and we can certainly as educator can teach our generation to appreciate our nature. we don't only learn from book we certainly learn from environment and if we destroy it then we are ourselves destroying our path for a better future and education. 

we should learn recycling its fun as i found in Pinterest for this week when I searched under environmental education and I found this interesting article called “exploring environment print in the preschool classroom” this teacher uses food containers, menus, magazines, road sign (made, bought or found), they also, make cereal box puzzles that are cheap too. I think there is not such obstacle in wanting to learn. Learning happens in any way while being in school, with books, with environmental things like recycling things and making it useful in learning activities. I’m going to try the cereal box puzzles that sounds interesting and fun to do.

Montessori

For this week I searched Montessori and I came through this one called “how we Montessori and here they showed a variety of activities that could be arrange for toddlers to play with because I find interesting as an activity to play and have fun but at the same time they are learning either punching holes or coloring but they are learning, last week I found another pin which actually helped me with my toddlers where they show a variety of things to do at home that its helpful to maintain them occupied while learning and one of them its letting them play with rice so what I did was put them in separate bowls and colored them with food coloring, he did well while mixing the rice and putting in the bowl he seem very into it while he saw the colors, touch the rice and mixed it. These activities are great to used while they learn as well.

I belief that there are different things how to learn as i mentioned in other discussion either being in school or outside in the environment, it all depends how people believe is the best way to learn. learning have many way to be interacting and learning. learning its doesn't have one past way but many.

Educational Philosophies Assessment

In this week in edu 100 we learned about educational philosophies assessment, a way of teaching. we did an educational philosophies assessment which my score was:

Perennials =10 points

Essentialism=10 points

Progressivism=21 points

Reconstructionist/critical theory=19 points

Information processing=17points

Behaviorism=19 points

Cognitive/constructivism=19 points

Humanism=23 points

My two highest points were on progressivism with 21 points and on humanism with 23 points, I think this how I would i teach my classes because i really do emphasizes on progress as well as the used of humanism because as its explains on the book on education "humanism advocates respect and kindness toward all people" (Pg.122), Im a person who believe in respect for example everyone should treat everyone how they want to be respected (i always have that on my mind), even though sometimes people treat you arrogantly you treat the with respect show them manners. As a teacher and my self u would encourage respect where that falls in the category of humanism. I also like progressivism because while having students progressing that shows that they are learning no matter they way you are teaching if a student progress it's seem then you are doing things right. i really do like my score because thats i would choose to teach my pupils.
