Last Monday

Well, I haven't written anything because the school was on holidays but now I came back, it wasn't as traumatic as I thought. Everything was as before; students were the same and Miss Leyla as well. The class was as boring as the others and the rhythm was slow and going lower; although, Miss Leyla started teaching what I like more in grammar... PASSIVE VOICE. Students will be better helped by me because I know a lot of it, at least a little bit more than students of 2nd grade. On first grade they are still learning the "Indirect Questions"  but now in past simple and I'm asked a lot about its structure; I try to do my best and I'll improve as much as I can to help them AMAP (As Much As Posible).

Not Bad

It was a normal day. The difference was on my participation during the develop of the class. In every class was the assistant of the teacher but only answering questions, doubts and of course, the everyday job of an English teacher... TRANSLATING UNKNOWN WORDS. It was a very busy day, I had to move around many times without having time to get sit for a while. I could fell comfortable because students from any grade are getting used to ask me anything and they can relay on me whether it is a matter of translation or an explanation of the instructions they couldn't understand, of course I don't give the translation immediately, actually I try them to have an idea of the instruction having care they are able to infer the idea of what they have to do or the word they need. Well, I feel happy because they begun trusting on my capacity of explaining anything they need; my final propose  is them to rely on my capacity of hearing they needs and I could be able to understand their family and social situation to have a diagnosis of why it is to difficult to pay attention in class. I think it's a long road to run but no impossible to get.
Respecting to the realization of the class; it was as normal, Miss Leyla just gives an brief explanation of the contents and then a quite long group of exercises to do, there is where I enter to help not to complicate Miss Leyla. That's all.

say NO to bullying or it will happen

That was a really quite rather good day

As usual, I got on time (today earlier and relaxed than before) but I noticed that Mr Castro wasn't there so I decided to take the group alone to see what may happen. The guys conformed as expected and the Students Congress ran normally, my opinion was heard and they attended everything I suggested for future activities. There wasn't any sort of disruption, or unless one which could bother me, and they could get a correct organisation. Today I felt as a teacher in front of them and they treated me as their teacher. that was rather comfortable.

That's a rather good song.

Last Monday - 1st A _ 2nd A _ 1st D

Actually, it wasn't a day for learning some. Miss Leyla just gave an activity for each class about "GOSSIPING  YOUR CLASSMATES" where students had to apply past continuous and past simple in 2 sentences per classmates, I mean around 80 sentences per each single students, of course they didn't give on time and it will be checked next class, it was for every single grade. Meanwhile I walked around helping students with the translation and word order and sentence structure, but nothing else, and Miss Leyla just checked some copybooks' last homework  to put a mark on her notes. It is becoming an actual problem because I don't really see any advance on the students and the classes are just about doing workshops and long activities where teacher gets absent from "teaching".

Last Friday- Students Congress 3rd B

Well, I think that a reason not to write on this blog is that I haven't had any interesting thing to say...
My last Friday practical class was just doing nothing because since I got school, and teacher and I arrived the classroom nothing happened, I mean, teacher was talking to some students a bit of personal things (of both, teacher an students) an the rest talking to their groups without making the respectively STUDENTS CONGRESS until they said to teacher for let them going out early due to a ride to "Fantasilandia" they won this morning. nothing happened and I got bored during the whole class.
