Blog Day 7

It was scary to see how many cleaning products look like food products or ones that could put in their body. I knew growing up that I had a cleaning pantry and food pantry. It is also scares me to think if parents were to put them in a similar location how many could accidents occur. I think what shocked me the most was that food products looked way to similar to cleaning products. I am not sure why companies would do this or how they get away with this. I mean in this day and age there are so many rules and regulations so we can keep our kids safe, why are we making the products look like ones can eat. It is scary to think we are making products look like ones that are not safe to consume. 

When we were sorting the medications vs the candy, I feel that I had an unfair advantage because I work in the pharmacy, so I have come to recognize what are candy and what are drugs. So I found myself taking a back seat role. I wanted to make sure my classmates were able to try and sort the "pill" first before I put my two cents in. I found it hard at times, i wanted to jump in and tell them how or what "pills" needed to go where. I feel that this was a great learning opportunity for what it is going to be like at a teacher. I am going to what to jump in and help my students learn, but that may not be the best. Sometimes I am going to have to let my student struggle so they can learn. They say we learn best when we fail first, because we have to go back over and review are work.  So it was a good teachable moment for me.
