Teaching practicum 2

               


                                                Week one. Second class, colors and numbers.

Teaching the second class about colors and numbers for me was an experience very gratifying despite only imparting part of the production and the wrap up.

 I feel very nervous at the beginning, but as I was teaching the class my nerves disappeared.

the first class and the  second class which my gouup and I impart is very important ,since we impart a base knowledge such as the colors and numbers that will be used in their future classes to understand references, context or even instructions in activities ,also provide an idea to each student of how the other classes are going to be.

In my experience teaching a class in English without being able to use any words in Spanish was something new for me ,and I think that also trying to understand what I and my future teacher colleagues wanted to say was something new an difficult  for most of our little students, but what I like a  lot is the attitude of students when participating in all activities they  sang, played shark are coming as a group without excluding anyone, repeated after the teachers the words that were taught in the class ,and followed perfectly the commands to stand up  and sit down taught in the first class, I aslo like how my partner and future teacher Steffany Moreno maintained eye contact with each of the students and the security that she had at the time of clapping loudly to get attention of some distracted students   Jonathan Pineda at the moment  to be part of the circle in the activity of shar are coming and not only to tell the children that they had to do ,also I liked that in the activity of pasting the colors in the correct place  where the word of the color was He  incorporate again to all the children without excluding anyone and always maintained a very kind attitude, and about me like the idea to getting the students attention with a puppet , becouse they saw me as part of them ,and I liked the attitude and positive energy that I maintained until the end of the class where all the children sang happily the colors and ballong song. 

Obviously also due to the lack of experience at the moment of teaching classes as a group, we also had some difficulties when teaching the class as to make the students understand the instructions of the activities that we as teachers wanted to do since we do not use the appropriate fiscal gestures to transmit an understandable instruction, the other aspect is for the sutuation mentioned before we are forced to use Spanish or a combination of English and Spanish so that the children understand and can continue the activity, but it is something that even if it is bleating to be the first class, it must be avoided from the beginning for  not to get used to.

Finally for me gave that class was a good personal experience 

where if can change something obviously I would like the fact of not carrying papers with the question Is this your favorite color for each one of the students in the production or the simple fact of not changing my voice  when using the puppet, but I  learned from my mistakes  and also learn of the positive and negative aspects  of each my classmates this first week of the subject practice teaching with children It was very rewarding because I can experience for myself the different factors and situations that can be given at the time of teaching a class that can not be written down when creating a lesson plan.
