For the last two weeks I've kept on working on my action
plan. I am really pleased because it is really working! students are making
progress and that's what matters! I began to teach a children class, monday
through thursday because the teacher was not able to continue teaching them due
to health problems and there was no one available to take over. Anyway, I am
happy to help them during my social service. It is a nice class, you know, just
a bit unquiet. They have problems with simple present and simple past, well,
this is what I have found out so far. I am working on that. I have had them do
a variety of activities to practice simple present and simple past, they love
TPR activities, otherwise they get bored and start to get distracted so I try
to keep them active.
Well, that's all I have to share so far! What I'm
doing is giving me a great deal of satisfaction!
The best teachers teach from the heart,
not from the book.

It's great to know things are going well at your placement, Jaide.
ResponderEliminarWhen you say your children's group is "just a bit unquiet", is that a euphemism for quite noisy? It seems that you've already found one strategy for dealing with this, by using TPR. Any other ideas of what could be done to help this class be a little less "unquiet"?
