The last weeks we have, we teach the numbers to our students. In the first few lessons it became clear that about two or three of the kids know the numbers until 100, but most of them only until 20 and for few students even the number 8 was difficult to write or pronounce.

We decided this would be one of our main focuses and built fun activities to help them learn the numbers in a more friendly way.

We usually turn number recognition into some form of game or competition. For example, we allow them to play games such as flashing numbers on the board for them to identify, racing to touch it on the chalkboard. And they were competitive so it was easy make them participate.

But probably the biggest challenge came when the school required us to teach our class a song to perform on English Day. Though it wasn't easy to find an appropriate play and make sure all could well participate, we decided to response to that challenge creatively (we choose "un poco loco" of the movie coco). After weeks of practice and patience, we rehearsed the students, and it looks like it was not proggress and in a moment we was almost giving up, but we don't. And, well, our class managed not only to perform beautifully but even took first place! It was worth every hoarse-voiced rehearsal seeing them be so proud and excited on stage ( Andres: fun fact I lost my voice twice due to this ><).

Overall we learned much about how to adapt our teaching methods to the needs of the students and how to make an environment where learning doesn't feel all that much like work but rather fun. Losing my voice by the end of the day was a small price I paid compared to the smiles and laughter and progress our students made. This day enforced our reasons for wanting to become teachers and gave us a memory to cherish for years to come.

Andrés & Daniela, you have done a very good job in general terms. Keep up the hard work with the peer coaching exercise, remember that it is something to keep track of and improve your own proficiency. The portfolio has the required elements including LPs with a good structure and clear objectives. Do not use "we", do it in third person: "the teacher will..."

As for the Diagnostic Report, it displays a clear understanding of the context, which is the intention of the visit. It provides general good insights about the practicum scenario, I hope this sheds light on possible ways of addressing opportunities and challenges in your group.

Good job in general. Cheers!!

Dany

Your digital portfolio is looking fantastic! You’ve done an awesome job displaying your lessons and the materials you’ve created. I loved how you included personal reflections; they really show how much you care about your students and your own growth as a teacher. It’s like getting a peek into your teaching journey! Great job! Looking forward to reading your last reflection.

Over the past few weeks, we have noticed that when we bring interactive activities to our students, it keeps them very engaged. For example, using visual elements helped them remember vocabulary more easily. We also noticed that they concentrate a lot when they are listening to stories, especially if include visual elements. Another thing that worked well was putting a countdown timer on the TV for each activity, this motivated them to manage time and stay focused on the activities.
And the students also loved any opportunity to move, for example with TPR games like Freeze Dance and Simon Says, as this helped them to be more active and made learning feel more like a game. So in general, they do better with interactive and didactic activities and tasks that help them learn while having fun.
