An Indian Father's Plea


In  the letter An Indian Father's Plea Wind-Wolf is a 5 year old kindergartner who has the potential to succeed even though he is culturally different from the other children.  His father is aware of the cultural difference but does not want to look at it as a factor that may hold his child back.  He knows that his son can succeed and he wants the teachers that his son has to not only connect to the majority culture but make some little connections to his son's culture as well.  This goes along with what we have been discussing in class about how culture can affect the way a child works or succeeds in education.

Introducing Me

My name is Caroline Crudale and I am in my sophmore year here at Rhode Island College.  I am studying Elementry and Special Education.  So far my semester is not to crazy, but I am sure it will pick up once it gets deeper into the semester.  Outside of the classroom I enjoy hanging with my friends and family, listening to music and watching baseball and football.  I am an Indianapolis Colts and Boston Red Sox fan.  I also spend a lot of my time working at my job which is currently at Babies R Us.
