I will possibly already know a little background on some of the children by studying sociology. Learning about different cultures interest me and so by doing this I will be able to share in the classroom different cultures and how they celebrate holidays or occasions. I think that having this knowledge will only benefit the children in my classroom because it will give them a view of how different cultures do things. These two disciplines, though they seem far apart, to me are very similar. They both seem to pull together culture in English through Literature and in Sociology through different studies of people.
Culture is a very important thing in the school system today.
We have many children that attend the schools that speak other languages or actually have just moved to the U.S. from another country. So understanding these children and how they differ is very important. Also knowing our language and how to use it properly is important because you will need to be able to help the child learn. My third discipline, which is elementary education, is wonderful. In this part of my classes, I do a lot of observing, and interacting with the children.
