Boy did I learn today that students all learn differently. Every lesson that I gave today was different because the students really did not all respond the way I expected. With my first class, I felt that I forced them into output before they were ready, so I changed up my lesson for the next two classes. However, as I looked at the faces if my students in my last block with my last activity, I realized that they really were not enjoying it. As a result, I completely had to improvise. I decided to make the game into a competition. Phew.
It is incredible how differently the students react to things. I am still feeling bad for my first block class, though. They really are my guinea pigs, but they are great students. Having full attention of 24 students is pretty great. Mr. Metzger--the principal--also told me today that many of the parents complimented me after the Open House. That was awesome news!
I am so happy that vacation has arrived!
Time to sleep for a week,
El joven
