Mi primer día!!
What a great first week of teaching I had!! J
Today, I started teaching to 3rd grade students.
Our unit was about Food in restaurants.
One of the first thoughts I got before planning this unit was
about how I was going to introduce this topic to my students. I really wanted to make it interesting but
relaxing at the same time.
So, as an introduction, I showed them some pictures of fruits,
vegetables and meals, and then I asked if someone knew some of the names of the
pictures shown. Most of them knew at least 3 or 4 names in Spanish. After going
over to a flipchart I created for them about food and fruits, I gave them a sheet
of paper so they can write down, of course not perfectly, some fruits, veggies
or meal’s names that they know already. I did this as a way to see how much
they know this unit, and also as a way to compare how much they really learned
from day 1 to day 6.
One of my biggest concerns is classroom management. I realized
how important this is in a real classroom. I believe that classroom management
is such significant key to us because without it, we can’t accomplish anything
in the classroom with the students, which could be a nightmare to us.
After teaching my first class, I had some positive and
constructive feedbacks from my CT, in which she also noticed my weakness side
which was not being able to grab all the children’s attention. It is so hard to
be there standing up with millions of
thoughts crossing your mind about what you should do and follow during your 45’
of LP and also trying to get all your students’ attention so you can do your
lesson. I felt I did my best in my first day of teaching and I know once I get
to know my students better, things are going to go smoother and better for me.
See you next week
