My last entry!!! =)

This is my last entry for the teaching practicum!! Let me tell you that though I had many difficulties in adapting me in this new world of teaching, I have had wonderful experiences facing the reality of my major. It’s great to help someone when you can do it because you feel the satisfaction that you have done a good job. The last class that I taught was very nice, and I happy because I could finish my practice with a good experience in my last group. The activities were done as I expected and the students were very enthusiastic, I think that reflects my job due to I was trying to do my best in that class. In this class, I tried to use a variety of activities in order to have fun during the class, and of course that happen during teaching, students were enjoying it. Something that I have to keep in mind is that for future teaching practicum I have to be more prepared with the lesson plans I have to work with and to manage all the activities and vocabulary it has. During this class, I had to teach an easy tense that was present progressive but with long vocabulary related with cloth. This was a practice of teaching, but also I could practice my English and improve my skills. This group of students was really kind, even one student sang for me in this class; it was so cute because I never expected him to do it, and everybody was happy clapping and moving their hands!!! I will never forget my first teaching practicum in this semester much less this last class….



Thank you for letting me sharing my ideas and thought with you, friends, you’re an important part of my learning teaching process!!!

3rd entry!!

Hello friends!!

Let me tell you that this class was very nice for me because since the beginning students were enjoying the warm-up and the activities they were doing. The first day of class, I thought this group was shy and they didn’t like to participate a lot, but today, I noticed that they enjoyed working together and making bodily-kinesthetic activities, so I took advantage of that. Thanks God, today, I didn’t teach grammar so I had the opportunity to make free activities for them to practice the prepositions of place. I liked the last activity I did because I make groups in which each one had to make a drawing emphasizing the prepositions of place, and students were exciting drawing some items in the paper I provided. Then, they had to explain in front of the class the drawings they made and the rest of the students were paying attention to the drawings and the sentences they said. When my class was over everybody was happy and me too…. hehe.... I feel good because I had less mistakes and I enjoyed teaching today, I think that is the most important.  =)

2nd entry!!

This class was better than the first one because I felt better when teaching and also because my students had a better attitude.... I think they could understand when I was trying to explain the activities, but I have to take into account that they are students for basic level, and I have to give less explanation because they get loss easily hehe, and I didn't care about that in this class, but for the next one I will. I enjoyed with the students during the activities because when students understand me and have fun and I do too, and I think that is a good step for me as a future teacher. I know I have to learn much more, but I'm trying to do my best and something that I will keep in mind is that I have to sleep well the previous day before teaching because that is going to help me to have a better attitude toward the class and my students too.... I had to teach grammar again, but in this time I had a better day, and students could understand me because when I asked them, they answered me in a correct form. For me, the hard part of teaching is making the lesson plan and when students ask me new words that I don't know hehe but I'm learning and I don't have to give up easily.... Thanks classmates for your support!!! =)
