First time experiencing another language and was able to repeat a few words in English. My neighbor and I would play school and she would teach me how to speak and write in English.]]> 2019-10-08 20:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395299086 aliciaeufracio https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395300602 Special Ed. Teacher would  teach my sister and I would also join.
Teacher would only speak English, my siblings and I would be "mini interpreters."
I loved singing and painting, and I was an active participant.

As a class we learned how to communicate by writing  a letter to Santa. 
We were able to meet him and talk to him. I remember being so excited, because I was told Santa gave presents to the nice girls/boys.]]> 2019-10-08 20:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395304939 aliciaeufracio https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395309029 My mother loved to watch them and I did too.
These novelas "try" to represent the Hispanic culture. After watching, I learned new vocabulary. It also made me realize that not every Hispanic household lives the same. ]]> 2019-10-08 20:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395309029 aliciaeufracio https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395313576 During summer vacation,  my siblings and I would gather around the television to watch the PBS kids channel. We would spend most of the day watching, due to the fact that both of my parents worked long hours. The T.V. was like a second parent. Now I know the impact it had on me because I was expose to English language at an early age. It also took me to places I've never been too.

To name a few amazing, inspirational, and supportive teachers, that deserve recognition, would be in kindergarten Mrs. Johnson, 3^rd  grade Mr. Navarro, 5^th grade Mr. Perez, 9^th  grade Mr. Zamora and 12^th Mrs. Siebert. In kindergarten, Mrs. Johnson taught me about learning a second language, that was English. I must admit that it was difficult to adapt to the new language and I knew I had to work harder, but that did not stop me. I knew I had full support from Mrs. Johnson and my bilingual buddy ]]> 2019-10-08 21:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395315118 aliciaeufracio https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395316245 Altogether, my experiences and accomplishments that were done in school and at home strengthen my desire to become a teacher and earn my Teaching Credential.  I know for a fact I will take into consideration my teachers’ guidance and my personal experiences into my own classroom. Just like I experienced, I want my future students to enjoy school and feel secure about their education. I also know that I play a major role in their academics, in which I will encourage, motivate and value all of my students. Which of course include their languages and cultures.]]> 2019-10-08 21:14:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395316245 aliciaeufracio https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395317258 In every birthday party there was a Banda or Grupo that played Mexican music. Up to this day, I love to listen to Spanish music in my car or at home.]]> 2019-10-08 21:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395317258 aliciaeufracio https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395321600 Even though I didn't know the full concept about Catholicism, I knew I had to read verses in Spanish. My mother and father were very persistent and firm believers. This was a way to encourage reading and being familiar with Spanish text.]]> 2019-10-08 21:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciaeufracio/mlmsa8bs6qwq/wish/395321600
