FOURTH DAY OF CLASS (Tuesday/Fifth week)

 FOURTH DAY OF CLASS

(BEFORE THE CLASS)

For this I had prepared really good activities in which I was sure my students were going to enjoy a lot and learn at the same time, so I felt really secure about what I was about to do. Thus, I thought that I had to enjoy the lesson like my students usually do. 

During the lesson

During this lesson, I felt so comfortable with my activity that I felt engaged in the lesson and I could remember how it feels to be a kid. I enjoyed the activities so much and I think that my students noticed that. My students also enjoyed the activities, and they could remember vocabulary that was taught in previous classes; which was good because I could confirm that they really learned such vocabulary. I also noticed that many students felt really confident doing the activity without feeling ashamed of doing all the things asked them to do. Therefore, I felt so proud of my students because they showed to have mastered almost all the topics.

After the lesson

Again, I had the chance to observe the other teachers' work (the ones who are in my group), and so I observed a lot of improvement in their performances as well as in their attitudes, so it was good because they seemed to have fun during the activities with children. 

I also saw other teachers' presentations and I think that were really good especially for all the resources that they used to teach such lesson. I think not only students enjoyed the lessons but also the rest of teachers who were observing the lesson. In other words, teachers' jobs were highly improved and better.  Lastly, we all teachers who taught the lessons received feedback to see if there was something to change or improve.  

My case of study

As for my case of study, I could notice that the last two weeks, he showed extremely changes in his behavior, so I decided to talk to his big sister, and I realized that my case of study had family problems and because of that he had difficulties with scores, with his classmates, and with concentration in class. Thus, I consider that when a student faces family problems, it is difficult for him to overcome them; no matter the age, school, friends, etc. Besides, I could see that he was really affected by these problems because he didn't want to talk to anyone, play with his classmates, he cried almost all the time which means that psychosocially talking he is very sensitive and he can be affected easily.
