After 9 days coming to this school I had felt comfortable with everything. At the beginning I have to say I was scared, but then I just love it. The kids, the environment, everything went good. I got closed to the kids and I learn many things.
Today is my last day of professional practice, and the classes are going really good. We reviewed the topic we have seen this week and introduce a new topic in first grade. The kids did not misbehave. I decided to work today with this little girl from first grade. She always is asking permission to go out to drink water, or go to the restroom, whatever excuse to go out. This girl never works in class. She is just like in another world. Today I ask her to stay next to me while Teacher Patricia taught the class. Whatever teacher Patricia said I repeated to her, and she paid attention and repeated every time I asked her. We were seeing the first 4 letters of the alphabet. She paid attention to me and understood the lesson. Then I gave her the practice and she sat down quiet and started working. She did not go out the class in this time and for first time she finished the work in class. I felt happy because I did something different for her and she gave this big smile when I left.
I think that this is the essence of what it means to be a teacher… make little thing that can change a person now or in a future.
