MY REVIEW

Aqua Paws is an adventurous cat who loves to swim and discover all the exciting creatures and plants in the ocean. There’s only one hitch. He’s terrified of crabs and there are a lot of them beneath the surface. This is where the story starts and where I became enamored by the adventure and characters in the book.

Each turn of the page is a new adventure or creature and there’s the suspense of when the cat will meet a crab. You know it’s coming. When the two finally cross paths, it’s momentous.

One thing I noticed after a couple of pages was that there was a small red crab that appeared throughout the book. It’s not mentioned and the cat seems unaware. I found myself searching for it on each new page. It was a fun addition to the adventure.

Aqua Paws is an adorable children’s picture book filled with fun adventure and beautiful, colorful illustrations. I had such fun reading it and imagine parents reading it to their kids will have fun too. As will the children who can read it themselves.

Experience 

By: Patricia Allieri

As I look back many years ago, my educational experiences started as a child.  They are

still developing now.  In my education community, I have learned to become a lifelong learner.

Life offers so many opportunities to be successful at any age.  This process will make me grow

stronger every day.  My determination and lessons I have learned over the years will help me

to be a great teacher.  As you read on, you will know what I am talking about.

My past, present, and future triumphs will mold me into a well-rounded educated person.

My experiences were positive. These experiences reflect how I do as a college student.  There

are many lessons over the years that I learned about myself.  I remember when I was in

elementary school that my teacher used to complement me often.  Almost every day.  This

impact was positive then and now.  My elementary school teacher made me feel good about

myself.  I learned that I could be successful in school.  When I was in middle school, I was a

 cheerleader.  We went to competition and came in second place.  I felt so proud that we did that

well.  It was all because of my coach Mary, who gave us the courage to do great!  My good

attitude and beliefs helped us win.  The most important lesson that I learned is that success in

some areas made me believe in myself and to try even harder.  With a positive attitude, I know I

can do anything. My goal is for a better life, to graduate, and to become a great teacher, and

after I graduate, that I can find a teaching job.  Sometimes this worries me because of my age.

However, with my life experiences and knowledge, I can make this happen.

Now with a diverse population in the educational community, it makes it more

challenging to be successful in any career. “What is the biggest challenge in education today?”

Schools need to focus and try to provide for today’s students the skills, attitudes, and

knowledge they need to be successful in our world.  We need diversity of all children.  I believe

that each student will have the ability to be successful. We will learn from our students and they

will learn from us.  Every student in the classroom is such an individual.  Every time you plan an

activity, you need to plan in a way that the task can be done by everyone in the room.  That is

where it gets challenging.  This can be modified so each student can take it always and do it at

their level.  This is planned based on the student’s strengths and weaknesses.

My life experiences have reflected that teaching is my calling.  I feel more certain that I

am on the right career paths.  I am excited to become a certified elementary school teacher and

focus my energy and enthusiasm on educating my future students.
