My first learnings about being teacher

Second Week (From 25 January to 29 of January)

On Monday the pupils taught me an activity that they realize every Monday in the first hour, a TV news morning. During the week, the pupils bring news that has happened in the city, our country or other countries, which will count on Monday in the first hour to the rest of their partners. For it, they put a table in front of the class along with a cardboard cut as if it were the contour of a television and go one by one counting the news as if they were journalists.

On Tuesday 26, I gave my first class, where I had teach them the gender of the name (male and female). For it I decided to ask at the beginning of the class if they knew the gender of a word and the differences between both. Later, I realize an activity invented by me where the children had to go out to the blackboard and choose a word and place it in a part or other one of a cardboard depending if the gender was male or female, and they had to tell to the rest of partners why it was of this gender and make a sentence with the Word.
Then, I gave them a tab that I had done with different exercises to reinforce the knowledge. The game was very positive and motivating for the students as they learned so fast, they did the tab very quickly and there were no doubts.

On Wednesday 27. there was a surprise, we did an excursion to the Botanical garden of the Uma (University of Malaga) where the children saw the different types of plants, with names and characteristics and finally they did a workshop where they planted a zucchini on a flowerpot holder and took it to house. It was a very positive experience to go outside the school environment and in addition to having fun, we were learning about other plants and then we had a while to play all and relax and children reinforced the knowledge about the plants because they did last week in Natural Sciences.

I think that this is a way of learning surprising and very positive, since the children are not limited to learn about plants in a book, but they can see them, touch and experiment with them, what seems a great and amazing idea to give classes on topics that we can find in differents places apart from the school.

On Friday 29, we had an excursion to the Carranque's Sports Center, which is located 10 minutes from the school, because it was the Day of Peace. Every year all primary students go yo the sports center to make the solidarity race, aid with the organization Save the Children and we had stickers that we had to put in our chest, where they make a career more or less length depending on the course where they are. Each course had a banner with a word like Peace, respect, equality... and after the race all courses walked around at the same time the sports court with their banners and posters. There were many parents who came to see their kids run, so the  motivation of the students was present at all times, plus it was an unusual activity so they were very happy and I enjoyed a lot. After that, we went back to the school and work a tab of the peace.

Like last week, my participation is daily. I am constantly helping and guiding students in any difficult situation they may have and collaborating with the tutor and other teachers in the work and activities.
