Thing One

     After watching the provided tutorial, I decided that the hardest lifelong habit for me would have to be habit one, which is beginning with the end in mind. Often I like to take things step by step, day by day and look at what is in the now and pay little thought to the end until I get there.  However, this does seem to be an easy habit to adapt, especially in lesson planning.  As a teacher you are constantly setting goals and objectives that you want your students to reach. You see these objectives and goals as the end, and then must work backwards to figure out how it is that you are going to reach this end point. 

     The easiest habit would have to be habit seven and a half hands down! Play is such an important aspect of young children's lives.  Working in child care settings has helped me to understand just how important it is to young students and how much they actually learn from play!  I am constantly seeking ways to incorporate different aspects of play such as games or dramatic play into the classroom to get information across in a fun and memorable way.
