This was my last lesson.
We did our routine with the hello song and after that we played with the secret box again. They were really happy when they saw the box. We played like an interview. I used a microphone to simulate an interview and they loved the idea.
While I was playing a song they had to pass the box to the mate next to him/her. When the music stopped the kid with the box had to pull a card out and I interviewed with the microphone making questions about the food we learned so far.
In the development part of the lesson I had to improvise because the worksheet I had prepared was not in their books. So I had to do a second activity about trace and colour and kids worked with no problems.
At six o´clock exactly we finished our lesson.

For this lesson I wanted to do something more creative. I didn´t want to follo the book or workbook. So I decided to do a secret box to play with the kids. I entered into the classroom, we sang the hello song. I asked pupils to sing without our helllo banner, I wanted to know if they were able to remember it and they did!!!
After that I presented my secret box to kids. I remember that when I pull it out one of them said...Vamos a jugar? qué alegría! and a second child said "Gracias Dios" and I laughed.
We played with the box and kids enjoyed a lot. But for reasons of time I only played with some of them. After that I gave two worksheets where they had to colour, cut and paste food and drinks they like and don´t like..
Kids were vry engaged with the activities

As I entered into the classroom and greet the kids I started to stick the hello song on the board and kids started to sing the hello song. I could see that they liked it and they knew most part of it.
They were restless and some of them asked me to go to the toilets.
We first made a revision on foods, likes and dislikes. We played a guessing game and they had a lot of fun.
After that we learned some new food items. I handed out  pictures of the food learned for them to colour and paste on their copybooks. I remember that a kid didn´t want to do the activities and the teacher told me that he was always desinterested and stubbborn. But I insisted him to start working and he agreed to do it so.
It was the birthday of two kids in the classroom and we sang happy birthday song before leave tha class

A very hot day!! Kids came to school and they were very energetic! They followed me with the hello songand they didn´t need my help to sing it.
When we started the lesson I realized that they already knew the food words that I tought that I came to teach them.
After that we listened to a song. We listened twice first. While listening they had to do and activity, but I must be sincere and say that the activity was no successful because most of them couldn´t complete the activity. This took me time to explain and when I realized it was time to leave the class. I think that I waste time with the song too. Time to go arrived and kid´s parents were outside the class waiting for their kids.

This day was a rainy day, so most kids didn´t come. There were only eight kids.
We sang the hello song and after that I displayed my flashcards on the board to start working. They were very engaged with the coloured flashcards and were eager to participate in the activities.
One of them asked me to sing a song for the next class because they love singing.
It was a calm lesson, they were all quiet and worked during the forty minutes

Yesterday was my first practicum day at primary level. It was a very very hot day in Corrientes, 33 degrees. I have to say that when I left the classroom I was not feeling right. The ceiling fun and the air conditioned were broken. But I was happy, I think that I did right with my first lesson. Kids loved the Hello song and they participated during all the class. I tried to speak as much English as I could and I remember that during the book activity a boy came to me to show me his activity and asked to me this way...Quién te enseñó a hablar así Inglés? La teacher Marisa??? and I laughed.
But I didn´t have any problem with kids. They loved singing with me and they were desperate to go to the blackboard to participate in the activity. Time went very fast but it was enough to know what kids like and enjoy doing...

The first day I was called by the teacher. It was a second grade of about 20 children but that day only went 17. They started their lesson with a short hello song. They all waved their hands and sang happily.
While the teacher prepared her banner and got ready for the lesson they stayed very calm.
The lesson from that day was about the face parts.
The teacher sticked two banners on the board. One of a girl and one of a boy. After that she elicited the parts of the face and repeated out loud for them to rememeber. Then it was their turn. The teacher called some of them and asked to point and name the parts of the face.
But at the end of the classroom there was a kid who didn´t participated at the same rythm of their mates. He was singing, playing in his own world. The teacher came to me and told me that he was a kid with a small maturational delay. He was very nice.
The following activity was working with the worksheets. They started to paint them. Some kids went all around the class asking for colours and talking but the teacher didin´t like very much them to be standing.
What seemed strange to me was that at the end of the class they didin´t sing a good bye song. Some parents and  people in charge of the kids knocked on the door and asked the teacher to get the kids out of the classroom

My second observation was in a different classroom.
The teacher started the lesson. First singing the Hello song and then by showing banners to kids.
She tried kids to remember some words they have already learned. She had pictures of a train, a teddy, a ball, a kite,a boat, a doll and while showing them to kids they had to remember by saying out loud the name of the words, and the colours using the verb to be.
After that the teacher asked them to take out their copybooks and started to make sentences with the words used with the pictures, for example The teddy is brown, The doll is red.
The teacher went around helping the kids with their sentences.
The other activity was about using their student´s book, they had to colour, cut and paste the pictures with the words in their copybooks.
Time to go arrived and they took their backpacks and started to leave the classroom.
I could observe that they didn´t use a closure activity.

This day it was my last observation day.
The teacher started with the same routine and she also did the same with the banners, reviewing the same words.
They worked with their copybooks and making sentences. The teacher wrote on the board the model of the sentence she would the students to write and encouraged children to start do them.
I remember that one of the girls forgot the copybook and the teacher said to her that when the lesson finish she would write a note to her mother to let her know about the situation.
Time to go arrived and most of the children went out of the classroom. The only one who stayed was the special kid who worked with the teacher to finish his activity.
