Hello readers and welcome to my final blog post! My partner Gabby and I have done all of our research for this project including finding credible sources. It has been fun and interesting figuring out our likes and dislikes as educators and what we think will work best for our students. We are eager to see what our classmates have come up with as well as share our own ideas. A few successes included writing about our ideas in order to express what we were thinking and then combine our thoughts to create a useful tool. We also were able to incorporate Dr. Seuss’s love for rhyming and imagination. We researched a great deal about The Cat in the Hat specifically, as well as the development of elementary-aged students. Gabby and I worked hard to accommodate different intelligences. As fortunate as we were to have so many successes, we did run into a few challenges. 

These challenges gave us a better understanding of what is to be expected of being an educator one day in the future. Finding reliable sources for our mini-unit was a bit harder than expected. As a teacher, the education and information we teach to children have to be relevant and true as it will become the base of their knowledge. 

We are confident in our lesson plan and hope it will have tremendous benefits for both educators and students. Dr. Seuss is a personal favorite and an author that will always be used to introduce and teach rhyming to young children.
