My day at Terrace Elementary was a good experience in the field of Teaching.
To tell you the truth, I didn't really study the subject except for the 1st section.
Me and Yessica (My partner), decided to do to the lessons together instead of us doing it by ourselves.
I was very lucky because I got 1st grade Bilingual, (which is more comfortable for me to talk and write it).
I actually learned all their names, and the teacher was very surprised that I knew their name.
Me and Yessica had to read the lesson really fast to get things together. The kids were amazed at how big and colorful the poster was. I was really happy to see how active these kids were, they would answer all of our questions, and tell us things about themselves.
My favorite part of the day was Recess!!!!!!!
They all wanted me to see them how they climbed the monkey bars. Everybody wanted me to go with them and see them how to play, but I couldn't everywhere all at once so I told them if they wanted to play a game (everybody from my class) and so we played freeze tag, hide and seek, duck duck goose, and ring around the rosy!! =)
I had so much FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were so sweet because they all wanted to be around me or sit beside me, and they all called me "TEACHER". It feels good when someone calls you a teacher, because you actually feel that you are doing your job as a teacher.
They all thought that me and Yessica were going to comeback again and see them. I really hurt me to tell them that this was the first and last time. :(
I just hope this isn't the last time we are going to do this. =)
I look forward on another opportunity on JA!! :p

November 15,2010

I really enjoyed the websites that Mrs. Slattery gave us. There were fun, and they gave me an idea on showing the little kids this websites so they can play and actually learn stuff.
I also went to this website: http://classtools.net/
and I just randomly went to any of the things they had. I really like the one called random name picker. These can actually work when the students do not want to go and do something, you type the students name and it randomly selects a name (which its cool). i also played some other games that are very entertaining for the little childrens to play with. I really like this websites, (It is very useful for teachers to use in their classrooms).
