Our second class. Professions vocabulary!

Hello everyone and it's time for the review of the week. Today I'm going to talk our second class that Astrid, Xenia and I developed last Monday. It was the time for the professions vocabulary to show up and it was a great opportunity to show our best sides. In general oppinion our class was just perfect, we developed and plan this class in a very organized and satisfactory way and let me explain you why.

Xenia
The first teacher that showed her potential was Xenia and she did a great job, we noticed a way better performance than last time, since she had practically no time to develop her part. But, this tume was different, she gained the kids' attention and hard work even more than the last time. Here it comes one of the most controvertial situation of our clas which was the size of the images. Let me tell you that they were indeed small, but it was not the end of the world at all. Teacher Xenia did an awesome job by showing the picture personally to every kid so that they would be able to see them. That's definetely a resolution that only great teachers can think of. The way she explained the new vocabulary was also great. I wish there were more teachers like her in that aspect because even though it was too repetitive, that helped a lot for the kids to keep that information on their minds.

Daniel
Then, it was my turn to perform my part. In my case I had to use the images again, but there was no problem even for me, because the kids needed to walk towards the board to develop my first activity. No wish to show off, I demonstrated that we can save some money by not printing this kind of works and doing them on the board with recycled images or flashcards, which I did, and again it didn't represent any problem. Then I had a hard time by checking the letter soup activity (which I wronged called crossword, I'm sorry avout that, but I am a human, things happen, let's move on) but I thought I could finish the checking so I tried to do it as fast as I could. And then, the memory game was good, I just didn't know how to keep the items uncovered, but nothing serious. I personally have to say, that I really enjoyed my class, it is not a secret that kids are not my favorite kind of people, but in this opportunity I forgot everything about that. I kind of loved them this time.

Astrid
Then, Astrid demonstrated again that she is a great teacher by making the kids work and speak about their favorite professions, thing that I considered impossible at the beggining, but she made all of them pass in front of the class and show what they learnt. She lasted 2 minutes more than planned with the wrap up, but it was just a moment, the parents were not there at the time (except for one) and kids were having fun so hard that they forgot about the time.

Things that I would change.
Now, I see that we would have changed three things and everything would have been perfect. The amount of words in the objective. The size of the images and two minutes less.

I think that we'll have another opportunity to do this in a better way. See you next time my friends, love.

  1. Hello Daniel !

    I think that in this class we showed that children can learn and have fun at the same time we had many challenges and as a group we knew how to overcome them I am very proud of the work we did and I think I could not have had better classmates ,Of course there are things to improve but for the next class we will not make the same mistakes . thanks for share your feedback!
