Day 9

 On this ninth day of classes I was still feeling pretty sick. I had yet to recover from the flu that hit me really hard that week, but despite my health issues I was able to make it on saturday. This saturday was the quiz, so I mostly observed the way my team teacher gave the review of both courses and then helped monitor while they did the quiz. She had similar strategies with both groups while doing the review, using mostly exercises from the book and fill in the blanks activities to practice their writing skills. Most of the students seemed prepared for the quiz, there were just a couple from each group that still seemed kind of lost in some topics. While they were doing the quiz, I went around along with my team teacher to monitor their work and to answer questions if necessary. The kids seem very comfortable in asking for my help, which made me feel at ease as I've always been more than happy to resolve their queries. It was a good assessment experience overall!

    Hello, Alejandra. I hope you are feeling much better now. It seems that day 9 was a very successful quiz day. What Nidia and you did is essential, monitoring and even helping students make a huge difference in the development of the exam. They feel supported by the teacher.

Second entry

On my second Saturday, both classes had new students who hadn't attended the first session. In the A1 kids' class, the teacher welcomed them warmly, asked for their names, and integrated them quickly into the group. She began by checking homework and then introduced the topic of animals. Most students were participative, though some had trouble understanding instructions and expressed their doubts. I took the initiative to stand up and help clarify some of their questions. At the end of the lesson, there was a parents’ meeting to explain the semester’s dynamics. In the A2 teens' class, the dynamic was similar with the arrival of new students. The topic was items of clothing, and the teacher led a variety of activities, including some games. I also helped answer students’ questions during the lesson. This class also ended with a parents’ meeting.

Day 10

This day was very challenging. I had a very tough week overall, and I couldn't organise myself how I would've liked to, so teacher Nidia helped me out a lot with these classes. I find the language cycle quite difficult to plan, I have a hard time thinking of activities for the different stages, so that got me really overwhelmed and stressed out. While in the class with the kids, I feel like I could've done a lot better in the delivery of the lesson, but it was fine. With the preteens I felt more confident so I think it went well. After the class ended, I had various discussions with my team teacher Nidia about how to improve in preparing, planning, delivering, etc, the classes so it is easier for me and I don't feel as saturated as I felt. In other news, I feel like the kids are very smart and they sucessfully do all exercises from, for example, the langauge cycle part. Of course there are some that need to further practice, but in general they understand and develop al...

Third entry

This Saturday, the first class with the kids focused on prepositions of place. The teacher used a ball and a box to demonstrate the prepositions in a fun, visual way, which really captured the students' attention. They then worked with the book, which included activities and a song that kept them engaged. The class ended with short conversations using the prepositions and animal vocabulary. In the teens' class, the topic was clothing and school uniforms. The teacher organized a group activity using bags with slips of paper containing clothing items, and students had to write sentences about what they were wearing. Afterward, they discussed questions about school uniforms, which I found interesting as it gave insight into their opinions. The class wrapped up with a short writing activity using the present progressive, though there wasn’t enough time to complete it fully.
