My Reflection
Here I am writing about my experience to work with children and is unbelievable
how time flies. I just remember the very
first class that I gave. It was a worthy experience and I remember how nervous
I was because I had no idea about how students would react or behave. During this first class I could control
myself; however, I was almost shaking because I had audience looking at me and
that was extra pressure. In this class I learnt that children understood
commands in English, they did almost everything that I asked them to do, and they
could do it with almost any help. I felt really good standing there in front of
those children that wanted to learn and they would do it with my help.
Then,
the second class came again and I was still nervous but with the difference
that I felt more confident. In this class I used different activities that
worked very well with my students. They enjoy it and learnt at the same time. That
made me feel proud and I realized that teach is something that I enjoy. In this
class I learnt that children learnt faster when the activities are appealing to
them. Moreover, I experience and learnt that teachers needed to think a lot when creating a lesson plan because the activities should be according to
the age of students. Something that I will not forget is that as a teacher I always
needed to have a backup plan. This will help me to face any situation because
we never what could happen, and teachers should be prepared.
In my last class I was not nervous but exited to teach my last time to
this children. I tried to put in practice what I learnt and put in practice the
advices that my colleagues and teacher gave in my previews classes. I felt
great; however, teachers never stop learning. I feel great because I could overcome some
difficulties at the time to teach. Moreover, I improve a lot from the very
first class to the last one. I decided
to improve my skills and acquire many more that would help me in the future. I want
to say that it was hard but I like challenge because are in those challenges
that people show learn. Things that I would miss are prepare materials for my
classes, think about the activities that I will perform, and doing the lesson
plan. I know that this was just the beginning of things to come, and I am
pretty sure that I will succeed.
