I think this phrase summarizes this period of my practicum since kids were able to reach the goals set successfully. But, the most important point was that they really enjoyed while they were learning. Actually, they taught me that everything becomes possible when we work hard.                                                               I´m really glad to share this year with them.

The use of resources such as a dice or symbols to write simple sentences was meaningful for kids since they were engaged. To be honest, children worked enthusiastically.

Actually, there were 2 important moments for children during this lesson.
The first one was related to the lesson itself. They were able to realized that they could write sentences by themselves with the support of a dice.
The second important moment was related with our final reflection at the end of the lesson. I told them how proud of them I am and they were really happy when they heard my words. It was great to see their smiles.

Kids are not used to developing difficult writing activities because they have just started with their English lessons 3 months ago. As a consequence, I thought about some funny activities in order to encourage them practice writing.
In the first activity I invited them to work in groups to discover the messages hidden by using numbers instead of letters.
In the second activity we used a dice to write sentences telling what animals can/can´t do. They participated a lot.

-Recycling actions by playing a miming game, and later, using pictures flashcards with their corresponding action was fruitful to help children recall the vocabulary to solve the activities.
-Presenting kids a video about the text first, and later, reading the same text helped them understand the story without any difficulties.

I used a map of the globe in order to present the topic. Consequently, children found it really interesting when I showed them where we are located (Ushuaia) and where Ani is located (England). I showed students that both of us live in islands and I told them how far we are.
I think this helped children become involved in the development of the lesson.

Children loved the idea of watching and listening to an English girl. I usually show them short videos about my cousins´or friends´children. Sometimes, they also send them whatsapp audios with easy and short messages.
Actually, I think that the use of the flashcards to present the birds, the map and the videos were a great combination since children were engaged completing the activities.
It was really funny when one of the girls said: "She is famous, she is in our copybooks."

-Cooperative work to recall the topic.
-Pasting the flashcards on the walls was very useful because children who were absent paid attention to them.
-Besides, the animals´ sounds made by their partners were very meaningful.
-Using flashcards and mimes to help students understand instructions was great.
-Inviting the whole class to stand up and follow my instructions helped children develop the activity confidently.

-Inviting children to mime the animals in order to recall the vocabulary was great since they had a lot of fun. In addition, it helped children who were absent to understand the topic.
-It was really useful to present actions by asking children to mime them first. Then, I presented them by using pictures with their corresponding names. It help children be more confident to answer the questions I made them: "Can a cow fly?"

As many kids were absent the first two classes because of different reasons, we recycled the vocabulary presented with the purpose to help them understand the topic. As a consequence, what I described as something to improved in the second class became a benefit, since we could continue working on the same activity all together. As a result, children got easily engaged.

In fact, adults usually pretend children produce an immediate out-put, however, we tend to forget that learning how to speak in our native language takes a considerable time. Consequently, I think we should be patient and let them enjoy their learning process.                                                                  I´m really proud of how my kids are working.

I found the following strategies very useful to help children understand instructions, games and activities:
a) Asking children who understood the instructions in English to repeat them in Spanish with the purpose to help their partners get the idea properly.
b) Providing kids who didn´t have book copies in order to invite them take part the activities, as well. Actually, I usually do this or ask children to share their books with their partners.
c) Using the visual support (flashcards) pasted on the walls to recycle the vocabulary presented.
d) Pasting the pictures of some actions, such as paint, listen, look, etc, to help children understand what I´m saying.

There two things I think that need a little improvement.
-The first thing that must be improved is timing since we couldn't finish an activity on our books.
-In addition, I realized some children were shy when I asked them to make the animals' sounds. Actually, it is strange since they love developing body kinesthetic activities. Perhaps, the use of the camera made them feel a little discourage.

Indeed, children were motivated and participated a lot again. Although, they  made a great effort to understand the whole instructions in English.
Some kids found it funny to paint the animals with different colors rather than the real ones, like: "I can see a green horse."

I think I´ll continue using the flashcards during the routine period as I always do because children are able to incorporate the vocabulary in a natural way.
Moreover, I´ll continue using actions flashcards to help them understand my instructions.
What´s more, I think that games must definitely be part of the plan since it´s a group that enjoys playing.
Additionally, I´ll continue inviting them to approach to the board to solve activities  since they are very cooperative.

First of all, I consider that following the usual routines made children feel comfortable since they were able to understand me.
Besides, I think that the use of many visual resources and mimes helped children feel secure.
In addition, changing the sitting arrangement (in a horse shoe) was a good strategy since children were amazed to see each others faces. In fact, some of the kids were able to follow their partners when they didn´t understand the instructions. It was a last minute change because I couldn´t find an appropriate place to set the camera.
