Second Teaching Practicum

SECOND TEACHING CLASS!

This is my second teaching class. I had new experiences when teaching the kids.

When I started to give the class, first I felt a little bit nervous maybe because I was thinking that it was going to be my first evaluation. Anyway I started bad because I forgot to to the warm up. So my beginning was not good because I forgot to do it. Then I started with the presentation of the topic. And it was good how I presented the family members, but the problem was that I did not presented the vocabulary with the pictures. Maybe doing that the students will have a better comprehension of the vocabulary. However, I notice that they understand and recognize the vocabulary.

The second activity that I made was a game called "Memory Game". I made this to have fun with kids but at the same time to help them to recognize the vocabulary and also, to encourage them to repeat the different Family Members. I notice that they enjoyed the activity.

This class was about reading and for that reason I tried to do something different to tell them the mini story about family members. I represented the different family members that appear in story by making some pictures like puppets. I was telling them the story and at the same time showing to them the different characters, so they can understand better  the story and they can identify the family members. I think that this activity worked well.

The second class that I have taught was totally different, I enjoy the class with the kids. I tried to improved some of the aspects that teacher and classmates told me to do it. I know that nothing is perfect, but I'm trying to do my best to help the students to have a meaningful learning. In each class I try that students enjoy but also learn. With my partner we tried that children feel comfortable. 

Something that we noticed is that kids like to have a recognition. For the reason, in the class we bring some stickers. Kids really like it because they were stars. So the students that finish the activity have one star. We noticed that they enjoyed the part because thet tried to finish quickly to have more stars.
